Saw a white vert this morning and a Nori Coupe last night here in Scottsdale.

I honestly wonder how many of all LC's sold in the US reside in AZ.....

 

Spotted my first LC in the wild yesterday and in my hometown. No opportunity for pic. I was passing opposite a long line of cars packed front to tail waiting at traffic light and I was going opposite direction. Barely had time to give a quick passing Horn beep. Convert; one of the light silver exteriors; black top. FINALLY!

 

I mean, I may well be wrong, but my working assumption is that a good chunk of these cars (especially the convertibles) live in the broader Miami area, Phoenix/Scottsdale and SoCal... Have we ever had a poll/survey on this board?

 

Haha nope. But I have 2 other LC’s in my subdivision alone.

 

Yep!
I believe this is true. I would not be at all surprise if half if not more of all LC 500 cars reside in CA., FL and AZ. I live in southeastern Michigan and have not seen a LC 500 in well over a year. Ferrari and Lamborghini are seen more often than the LC 500 in my area.

 

Driving on the highway today (middle lane), person in the left lane slowed down and rolled down his windows to give an enthusiastic thumbs up and huge smile. He then kept giving the thumps up outside of his drivers side window as he passed in the left lane. Nice to see others who appreciate the LC! He was driving a green Mercedes GLE SUV

 

You sure that was his thumb

 

Beginning to wonder if some forum members ought to be on-stage in Vegas.

Edit: take a compliment!

 

Great experience. I have not experienced any special recognition of what seems to be my stealth car anywhere. Well, excepting when I step inside, start, and ride.

 

lol. I did wonder initially, but definitely his thumb! Wife and daughter said he was giving a huge smile along with it.

I've had a handful of instances where someone rolled down their windows to complement or ask about it. TBH, more attention than I would like. I often wonder if it would get the same attention if I went with a more subdued color...

 

I saw a white inspiration series coupe at the Valet parking at the Diamondback game Sat 8/9. I really like the dark trim. My White ‘24 looks a little less cool than it could be with all the chrome. I wonder if those parts can be purchased aftermarket. Does anyone know if they can? I would have gone that way but you can’t get the performance rear wheel steering with one of those.

 

@MAXFN
I am pretty certain that you can order the Lexus black chrome parts from a dealership and perhaps even an aftermarket manufacturer.

 

My NGP coupe gets about one called out compliment per day, when I'm around Jersey City... I think it's just the shape and relative rarity... And the rumble, of course.

 

I doubt it. Mine is caviar black which doesn't allow a car to show its subtleties as easily IMO and I get a fair amount of attention. Especially when I pass someone and a "little ole Lexus" makes such a thunderous noise going by.

 

Have driven some super sweet cars in my time, have never had an elderly woman comment on any car I was driving. Happened in my LC though, at Costco getting gas. She stepped in between the gas pumps to tell me how beautiful she thought my car was. Still the greatest "car compliment" I've ever gotten.
