Hybrids are fine and I'm not knocking anyone who made that choice, but I can't see buying a car like this and going that direction. The V8 sound alone is awesome!

LC 500 vs 500H
Hello,
I was thinking about buying the new Lexus LC500. I saw several essays and comments. In general, there seems to be a general consensus that the best option is the LC500. More power, better sound, a more precise and direct gearbox. I would dare to say that eight out of ten people would prefer the V8! However this year I moved to another country and only the hybrid version of the model is available here. Given this restriction of being able to choose only the hybrid version I am in doubt as to whether to proceed or not. I would like someone who has tested both models, someone who owns one or simply an enthusiast to tell me more about the hybrid version and what advice you could give me. I would also like to be informed about the service intervals, prices charged, reliability and main defects that come in the model, in the eye of a daily user.
Sorry for all my questions, but I have always owned Bmws and I am for the first time considering switching to a Lexus because I think the LC is the most beautiful car I have ever seen!
Thanks!

Tested both and owned Bmw’s
I test drove both. The V8 version sounds amazing. The hybrid version is silent when it starts. The look of the car is the same. I have owned 2 bmw 650’s and the looks and the comments I get from this car far exceed any with the BMW’s. The hybrid is only slightly slower than the V8. If you can get the V8, the hybrid isn’t a bad way to go. If possible get the performance package as it has rear wheel steering. .

I could've had a V8.
