Photos from last weekend enjoying the beach at Fiesta Island San Diego. In a couple of weeks, I will switch to Maple Springs Truck Trail.

You should take your LX off-road. no need to do something challenge. a laid-back trail is good enough. It is built for it.

I am not into off-roading unless I have to, but this car is the best I have owned so far and I did own more than 35 cars during my lifetime. Absolutely love it and love traveling to the Bay Area to visit friends in it, so smooth and comfortable for long distance travel. I have a 2021 LC500 for driving pleasure around town.

your LC 500 is beautiful. I am also thinking about buying one. but not now. I am not into sports cars... they seem too small for me.

Hi ragabnh. it's beautiful! I love it. but in your first photo, the paint has a little bit blue in it. and the rest of the photos the car is white. does your paint appear to be a different color under certain lights? like NIGHTFALL MICA which is dark blue paint but can appear black in certain light conditions. check the car below you will see what I am talking about.

How do you like your LC500. We are a Lexus/Toyota Family with a 20 LX570 (5th one) and a LS430 but have had Porsches for the last 30+ years!

you have your 5th LX 570! about the Porsche 911. I like the last generation. but I don’t like the electronic gearshift in this new generation. The new 911 all have them except like a manual transmission 911 T. the new LX 600 also has that little gearshift. it’s a cute thing when they put it in an Lexus NX, not larger vehicles imo.
can you show me your 20 LX 570?

I love the LC500 it is a great GT car, fun to drive and performs well. Mine has the Dynamic Handling Package. I have owned a 2014 Porsche 911 GTS 991.1



another great car which I sold. I would say the Porsche is quicker and handles better but is very costly to maintain as the dealer is a rip off. I prefer the Lexus overall as far as owner experience including all factors.

As far as LX 570 owned a 2013 as well which I traded for the Porsche and it was a great ride as well.

I went to see my dentist this afternoon. on my way home there is a Porsche dealer on the side of the road. I did a 30 minutes test drive. I went on both the city road and freeway. It reminds me of driving my friend's 1981 Toyota Pickup 2 Dr Deluxe Standard Cab. What I mean by that is, when there are many potholes, there will be many stomps coming from the rear of the 911. I feel the rear wheels communicate all the undulations of the road like solid axle of a small pickup truck. It shouldn't be like that as the 911 is a very light car but so does the 1981 Toyota pickup.
The LC 500 and LX 570 are definitely more refined. When I take the LX 570 off-road, the road is definitely more cracked and broken and you can feel it has a solid axle in the back, but the LX filters out a lot of undulations from the road. The ride of the 911 kinda feels cheap. I also don't like sitting so low next to the wheels of a pickup which really impacts the visibility. 911 isn't my type of car. I would rather buy an LC 500.

No car or even SUV drives as comfortable as the LX 570, we are spoiled in that respect. I would say the LC is a Grand Touring (GT) car that balance comfort with performance, the 911 is a sports car that has sharper handling due to its stiffer ride and is less comfortable.

911 has a different customer than the LC. The LC sounds better for sure.
