Both are beautiful cars... congrats! Since you own both at the same time, curious for your opinion on major differences and pros/cons between the LC 500 and RC F?
I have a '26 LC coupe on order, and an RC F in the meantime, as well as an IS 500. Would love to hear from another owner on your first hand experiences.

Both are fun in their own ways, but I’d say the RC F has a slight edge for me. Then again, I’ve only put about 1,100 miles on the LC500 so far and haven’t really pushed it too hard yet.
The LC500 feels more nimble when changing lanes, while the RC F feels much more planted. For example, when I want to pass at lower speeds, on LC500 I can downshifts and accelerates almost instantly. With the RC F, I usually have to set it up: downshift first, wait about half a second, then move over to pass. It’s a non-issue once you’re already at higher RPMs. The LC500 also has noticeably lighter steering and coasts forward more when you let off the throttle. Because of that, the RC F’s handling feels more precise to me compared to the LC. Or could be I just need to drive it more.
As for gas mileage, the LC500 wins by a huge margin. On the same route, my RC F gets around 18~21 mpg depending on traffic, while the LC500 gets about 26 mpg without even trying.
I have the Mark Levinson system in both cars. I’m not really an audiophile, but to me, the LC sounds noticeably better using the same audio source.
There are Lots of vehicles, 2 wheels or 4 that make me slow down walking by them to go to myself, Yeah. Very Nice. I LIKE That.
It's actually pretty rare for one to make me go SCREECH!
Full Stop.
WHOA.
5 years later, she still does.
Everytime.

Yes from time to time when I'm walking back to my one I just stare & think "hell that's my car, isn't it gorgeous, so lucky"
Clearly, you are correct on all counts and I apologize. The only thing that matters is your or anyone else's vision and satisfaction. Thank you for calling-me-out and forcing me to face violating some personal principles which needed refreshing.. Usually anonymous people are involved in ill-advised internet statements. In this case turns out it's a forum member I respect, and hits closer to home. In neither case was my remark acceptable as I double-down for the future. Thanks again, apologies, and happy motoring.
Congrats!!
I waited 6 years for USB to arrive on the LC500 and got mine in 2024 when it was made available.
I had a GSF in USB before that and the only compliment I got from that car was the color. I do miss the GSF though.

First day in AZ...holy moly this color combo POPS....and the white is pretty blinding.
Off to get PPF/Ceramic/Tint!
Gorgeous. This was my backup plan if I didnt get a coupe in my desired spec. Was gonna look for a vert in this combo (white to be cooler in the sun). It's such a gorgeous and deep blue. Guys at the shop that installed my show 'n stow plate bracket all commented on the color, one of them in Russian. He moved here in 2021... guess he timed that well!
