I took delivery of my new 2018 LC 500 on May 29th, less than two months ago. As of today I have 255 miles on it! Been driving my RCF is the reason for the low mileage currently on it. I love both cars. Congratulations on your Infrared LC. The best color(IMHO)just like Molten Pearl on my RCF. I have the Touring Package(includes Mark Levinson Surround Sound Audio System),Carbon Fiber Package, 21” wheels, HUD, All Weather Package, Convenience Package, Illuminated Door Sills, Trunk Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks, and Key Gloves. MSRP $103,366.00. The LC is definitely a different automobile than my RCF. Both cars are fantastic and different from any thing else on the road. My RCF is four and a half years old and I still get thumbs up and compliments every time I drive it. The LC I get stares, waves, people following beside me, behind me, follow me. I wanted the Performance Package originally but for personal reasons I chose the Touring Package, mainly for the leather seat material. I have the functional spoiler on my RCF so the fixed one is fine since it is factory installed. I also found out that the Performance Package has a higher insurance rate too with three other vehicles to insure, every little bit helps. Again, Congrats on your me LC! I see that you have the Toasted Carmel interior. Wife wanted black. Got to keep her happy! Also I get to take care of it and drive it when I don’t want to drive my RCF!
Wow, your LC is gorgeous! I love the look of the fixed wing.
Maybe my next car will look like exactly like yours! Also have an RCF, so thinking... Do I need another v8 Lexus, or should I go for the LC-500 hybrid?
Owned many cars through the years, never keeping any more than 3 years, but like my RCF so much, it will probably be my first keeper. So problem is... my 2nd car should be the v8 LC-500, or hybrid LC-500?

I drove a LC 500h and was disappointed with the performance. Since you’re like me, owner of an RCF, it is not worth the savings of 10mpg more. GT cars should have a powerful V-8 or more. Like a phrase that we used to say in the mid seventies about the Pontiac Trans Am, “all show, no go”. I’m not going to race the car but after spending 100k, I don’t want a V-6 Hybrid. Already have an NX300h if I want to get good gas mileage on a drive. Keep the RCF. Go for the V-8 LC 500!!

Yea your right! For only 10mpg better gas mileage, I should/will go for the V8. Heck, if I need good gas mileage, I still have my motorcycle!
Had a Camaro SS, and Camaro IROC. Some show, nice go, but handled poorly in corners! Had a Miata that had good cornering ability, but no go!
Note: Your RCFGrandpa? You may be younger than me!
Interesting.. .. Wife has a NX f-sport, and NX300h may be her next car.
I’ve had several Camaros and in 1985 bought a new IROC. Several new Corvette’s too. By the way my oldest granddaughter will start her second year at the university next month, marriage going on 46 years. I guess I am younger than you, going on 19 years old!
