Default Could it really be......

Or, are we being teased again? Over the last few years Lexus has repeatedly hyped the LC500 convertible, suggesting it is the next generation of the SC430s. Is it really going to happen this time?

I want a hard top. I guess it has to be soft top because the LC was designed as a coupe first.

I think it'll be a soft top. However, I want it to be a hard top so people with their 2006-2010 start selling and I have a chance to own one.

Default No softop or pano roof for me

I like a retractable hardtop only. I would not buy a ragtop - full stop.

I'd stick with the hybrid coupe model although I think it is a bit garish.

The blunt front-end styling is generic and the stippled grille looks like a second generation MB ML. I much prefer the SC 430 series stream-line style. What is the drag co-efficient of these 2020 models compared to an Sc430 at 0.29?

Finally, for that price it should have all-wheel drive. The RWD car should be less expensive.

When is a marque going to build or re-introduce a proper four door convertible? That is a car I would consider buying.

I need you all to buy these, so that they become available quickly, as in 3-5 years, on the used market, and I can afford one too
