The stance and sound are 2nd to none

I traded in my beloved Nissan GTR have 5 years of excited simply because I was tired of getting beat up every time I wanted to do a quick jog to the store, not to mention the brake squeak finally got too much. After tons of research, I could not find a sports coupe that offered power plus luxury at around the 100k mark. This car has it all!!! A awesome interior, check, power to spare, check, agile driver focused handling, check, check, head turning styling, triple check, and an exhaust sound I can only compare to a Shelby 427. Throw in a ride quality similar to any other more tame Lexus, and you cannot best the value of the LC500. And to get similar marks from other luxury sports coupe, like the AMG GT, be prepared to pay twice as much. I see this being my garage kept baby for many years to come!!!

I bought my LC500 in May and it has been the most enjoyable car that I have ever had. The style, quality build and performance is great. I have no regrets and hope to keep this car for many years.

Supremely Impractical and a Pleasure to Own

Fantastic car. This is a car to drive solely for the pleasure of driving. It is very responsive, sounds awesome, and turns heads. Touch the accelerator and its off to the races. It is a totally impractical car, gets terrible gas mileage, has limited trunk space, and is the best car that I have ever owned. I wish I would have been able to buy one earlier.

Can't stop smiling

It drives and feels as good as it looks (mine is red) Its sleek, responsive, and just plain fun to drive. Don't expect to use the back seat for anything other than storage, but the front seats are roomy and comfortable. Nice acceleration and power that could get me into trouble if I'm not careful. I appreciate the safety features, especially lane assist as the assist is gentle, and love the automatic low/high beam feature. I also appreciate the remote start although annoyed after paying this much for a car that after the first year I have to pay to keep that and other features. (one of my favorites is the car location feature) Also find it odd that with using remote start it actually turns off when I enter the car. I don't recall previous cars with that feature doing that. Final frustration that I hope Lexus hears is the entertainment system. I think they could have done better. Final thought - don't buy this car unless you're comfortable with attracting attention and having strangers take pictures of your car and approach you to share their appreciation for such a beautiful car. 2 1/2 years (and 20,000 miles) later I’m still smiling. No issues (other than the fuel pump recall that occurred early on), still enjoying the looks and constant compliments. Wouldn’t own any other car

What a Special Vehicle

Best looking and touring car I have driven or been in. I prefer the handling of a car over a SUV, my wife prefers the height and comfort of her SUV. When ever we use to go somewhere together she would prefer we take her Cayenne over my GS F-Sport. Now it’s let’s take the LC! Truly in a class of its own in the touring coupe category. Long on luxury in and out and even the feel of the relationship between the car, driver and road is luxurious! Yet the sound and performance of the naturally aspirated V-8 still confirms what you see getting into this beauty, that it is a special and rare beast.
