Yup, exactly.

So how many Corollas does Toyota need to sell to earn as much margin as one LC? You brought it up so I assume you have the answer. And no I'm not flaming the thread just for the sake of it. Lexus is wasting resources on these super low volume cars when the "new" GX will be super old still.

I know what you are trying to do. You know I do not know and you do not know yourself, however common sense will tell you that the markup for a LC500 is much higher than it is for a base Corolla. You need to sell multiple Corolla's to earn the profit of one LC. It does not cost Toyota 10X the amount to build an LC than it does a Corolla. Just looking a simply sales figures for an LC is not enough.

Default Lexus LC Convertible Prototype Brings Its Good Looks To Goodwood



The prototype previews what we can expect of a production model.

In ranking the most beautiful cars on sale today, the Lexus LC 500 coupe would be near the top of our list. Its concept-car styling paired with a posh, velvety interior makes it one of the most eye-catching cars on sale today. So, how does one make such a statement car even more awe-inspiring?

Rip its roof off, of course.

That's exactly what Lexus did at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The camo-covered LC Convertible prototype is making its debut in the U.K., and though the near-final design doesn't deviate much from the LC Convertible concept we saw back at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's as striking as ever... from what we can tell.

Exciting to see another version join the Lexus stable. The 5.0 will sound even more glorious

It's just cut and paste. The 'possibly' is referring to production spec. I don't think anyone will argue this is the LX

Haha. I know. It is just interesting as they are saying possibly. It’s pretty clear what it is.

The current trend is most going back to soft top convertibles for weight and space savings, with the new softops being better in noise insulation and much higher quality in general.

Well, there's your answer. Looks like about the same one that the SC430 had.....essentially a padded package-shelf. You can't even fit small kids back there.
