LC sightings
LC sightings
so i'm downtown Ocala FL late afternoon today (in my work vehicle - Hyundai Santa Fe) and right on the same street just ahead is a black LC500 looking pure awesome. Caramel interior. Didn't have daytime running lights on up front i noticed as i passed. Yeah i was excited as it's the only other one i've seen here.
car had Broward County FL plates on it.
Is the owner on here?

I live in Car Heaven (I cannot go one day without seeing a McLaren/Bentley/Lambo [There are a LOT of Urus's out here!]) and I have not seen an LC Convertible on the streets yet except mine.
Saw a couple at dealers here....including a Structural Blue Inspiration Series....but none in the wild.

I live in Lake Havasu, and we have 2 others in town now. One just a bit up the street from me. But I haven't seen either in quite some time.
Otherwise I've only seen one in the wild, aside from the white hybrid that originally dropped my jaw in 2018 and lead me here. I saw a very filthy red one in 2019 in Mesa.

About a year ago, I saw a white LC coupe here in Tallahassee, Florida - a sighting that triggered my LC obsession, which began with, "What the heck is that gorgeous thing?" Haven't seen it or any other LC around here since then.
Hence, my brand new, just fully ceramic-ed infrared/caramel/tan convertible is a true unicorn in this region. And I should demand commissions from local chiropractors, for whom business is brisk due to neck injuries caused by drivers and others twisting and turning to get a longer look at my incandescent new ride.

I live in Orlando, FL and have seen a good handful of them since my ownership (3.5 yrs). I've seen the following colors in the wild: Infrared, Smoky Granite Mica, Structural Blue, Ultra White, Flare Yellow drop top and Infrared drop top. Still pretty rare to see though considering all the Lambo's, Ferrari's and McLaren's I see here on a daily basis.

Driving around NorCal and towards Sacramento have only seen ONE LC coupe in the wild. Lot of other more expensive exotics around but the LC is a unicorn.
At the Lexus Performance Driving event at Laguna Seca they had 11-12 LC coupes for us to drive but on the street nowhere to be found.... (not including the Lexus promo event in the Napa wine country where they brought 5-6 LCs).
Disappointing but not too surprised. Too many better choices for the money (IMO).

I respectfully differ with “too many better choices for the money”
I think it’s better said something like “A car for a very specific customer’s needs”
For me, at age 65, it’s just right. I’ve had much faster, much more elegant, much more utilitarian (hauled some furniture with the Tundra today), much more useful as a daily, and much more fun on snowy salty Winter roads.
But this time of year with the top down, those perfect seats, decent sound system, V8 growl if I want, it checks the boxes. Without costing the price of an average home in my county. A very good value.
Most folks are moving kids around, hauling stuff from Costco, can only have one vehicle, are eager for risky times, or are trying to impress potential breeding partners. Been there done that. It was all fun, but now it’s just easy.
