Thanks Lou, has to be mostly convertibles because there have typically been only about 50 new coupes available in the US recent months

Why the sales increase over last year? COVID moderation, rebates?

^^^^ The convertible is bringing in new buyers that is resulting in added sales in both the convertible and the coupe.

They only breakout the HyBrids. See edit.

the convertible. not only was it a great addition, but it's garnered hugely positive reviews and press.

Fortuitous

Convertible hits the ground when high earners jackpotted from the financial markets surging and folks looking for a happy cocoon to wrap themselves in while getting out of their homes

LOL. he LC 500 has a great chassis, to the point I really think rear steer is pointless. Even the 4th gen GS had a great chassis, rear steer is pointless on that car too.

SavageGeese has reviewed the car a few times

From what I saw from him, he did prefer the car with the handling package, making it more of a driver’s car

Everyone has their preference in how the car feels. Journalists will say anything to get more cars to review.

SavageGeese is a local guy and is more about getting to the truth about the cars he review than most folks

He owns an LC 500

so as a "lexus connoisseur" you think lexus wasted money developing and building the rear steer system? And having every car at the performance school have the package?

In a sedate commute or trip, for sure it's not important. But if one appreciates handling, it's awesome.

now i do think the motorized rear wing is pretty pointless unless one is driving on the autobahn or a track!
