It does since the sport package features are standard, the only thing is missing the performance package VGRS and rear wheel steering.

I'm not so sure the above answer is correct The Lexus announcement makes no mention of the Sport Package, but does say that the 2022 model is "Building on the LC 500 Touring Package" Again, not sure, but I would say that if the LSD is not listed on the Monroney than it would not include that option.

Does LSD really make much of a difference for everyday driving?

Well if you add the LSD with the rear dampers AND the cf scuff plates with bespoke build, it’s only a ~$1k package, they could have just made them standard even for the base model without much impact on price

when you say 'rear dampers' do you mean the 'yamaha damper'? if so, that's just one damper i believe that goes between the wheels.

obviously subjective, but i think that red convertible roof on silver body looks terrible.

coupe looks awesome.

A drop top is always on my "nice" car...hardtops are for SUVs. I like the way the Coupe version looks, as well as how they do on many models, but the top-down experience on a beautiful day or evening will never be replicated in a Coupe.
