but you can't get the dynamic handling package.

 

Haha - only Lexus would come out with a Bespoke model that can’t be ordered with the actual Performance options that buyers actually want. Not to mention you can’t even custom order any LC. This has been the story going back 20yrs with Lexus vehicles!

 

jokes aside any owners of the dynamic pack with rear wheel steer want to give their input on the rear wheel steer system? My personal experience ive never really liked cars with rear wheel steer but ive heard many good things about the lc's RRS system.

 

I also thought i read somewhere that the bespoke lc is based on the sport package. Might be wrong

 

the dynamic handling (formerly known as 'performance') package also includes variable gear ratio steering too, which i love.
i've not driven an LC without the package, but i can tell you the combo of vgrs and the subtle rws means taking corners is so much fun because you just don't need to turn the steering wheel much (more go kart like). i just love it.

the package also has a carbon fiber roof, which besides looking amazing, presumably lightens the car some. and carbon fiber door sills and alcantera headliner which looks and feels great.

 

Ordered mine on 11/19/21. Order accepted in May of 22. No word on when it will be here, if ever.

Does anyone know if and when the 2023s will be built?

 

We just picked up our custom LC500 on Friday, 9/23. We placed original order on 1/5/2022.

 

Nothing's like that first ride home...Priceless!

 

Hi. I have a '21 coupe with RWS and the thing I noticed most was how short the turning radius is-like 17 1/2'. I came from a '19 BMW M240i and the BMW had almost 1' larger turning radius yet was a smaller car. When I back out of my driveway and go from right lock to left when going from reverse to drive it feels like I just rolled over a stick-I can only guess it's the rear wheel steering going from one direction to the other at a stop. The car also seems quite nimble, smaller than it's 4300 + lbs. but the RWS is really not noticeable.

 

i must be the only one who's not a fan of the RWS.

I tried it out on the coupe and found it a bit too twitchy for my liking. Seems less predictable especially when it goes into NON RWS and you were expecting the same response as when RWS was engaging

I don't like the unpredictability of it. I find the non RWS models

 

I am now on the wait list at 4 dealerships here in Texas, for a Nightfall Mica coupe w/ Toasted Caramel. They all said pretty much the same thing, you give them major preferences - pretty much just exterior/interior and when allocation car comes from the factory, they can match it up with the soonest person on the list and if it’s not a good match, they go to the next person. Also one dealer said they are not shipping coupes with the touring package — sport package only are what are coming from factory.

 

In this process, I did not find one dealer who said I could put in a specific order from the factory, have it accepted, built, and shipped. Two of the dealers required a $1k refundable deposit, one needed my license and existing car insurance information but no $, and one, just my contact information and preferences. I will continue to monitor AutoTraders, Cars.com, and CarGurus for anything that pops up nationally. One dealer said I should get it March/April of next year based on his experience, but these are different times, it seems.

 

I see nothing unusual about wanting a $1k deposit if it is refundable. Dealers dislike special orders because buyers can be flaky and back out frequently because they don't have the patience to wait.

 

In my city the wait time for a lousy ioniq 5 Hyundai is like 3-5 years and they refuse to even take deposits because they have such an overfill of request. My friends sister couldn’t even wait to get a Corolla LE which was 1-6 months wait.

A couple of months for a LC doesn’t seem nearly as bad.

 

Definitely agree - and I think the dealers that take deposits are more serious about managing the wait list and demand, FWIW. No special orders, though! I am on 5 dealer lists and pretty much they all say that once they are allocated a vehicle, they have no control over even requesting a color combination if it’s been produced by the factory and somewhere in their delivery chain. They will be allocated a car that has been produced with a particular combo so it’s a crap shoot if it matches my preferences or comes close.

If anyone is working with a dealer who says they have sway over what they get allocated, let me know! I’m pegging my over/under at 9 months, but we’ll see.
