Elon’s Tesla cars could learn a LOT about build quality compared to Lexus. It’s not even in the same galaxy. Plus, if you buy one the chances of getting hit with big repair bills are just about zero.

Nobody owns 9 cars... wake up out of you fantasy dream.

@@Acura1NSX yet I do :) I'm thinking of adding the new GR Yaris

It’s a wonderful car and I’ll keep mine forever.

Daily driver these cars eat through tires

@@demlord5062 my wheels are over 21inch, and it still ok bro

@@Xong24 not talking bout the size im talking about tire lifespan

congrats, I have a white one as my daily too

I hear you. It's the one reason I refuse to go get a test drive in one. Congratulations to getting yours.

Car sucks

@@demlord5062You do…

@@demlord5062 Okay buddy, lol…Definitely doesn’t suck but it will be a snore fest for anyone looking for performance. In that department it is not good.

Congratulations. I have a 23 convertible. The only problem with owning one is that sometimes you have to get out of it and go in the house🏖️

That, is a Great color. Viewing on Flickr: 2018 Lexus LC500, Nightfall Mica with Vorsteiner V-FF 103 Titanium wheels. It amazes my how daft ppl are over touchscreens for driving. I much prefer to leave the screen clean and avoid swiping to insanity. My Acura Nav w/dial & vocal interface never bothers me with excessive prompts either. Connect my phone for calls & music, compatible with steering wheel controls. Its tactile and safer overall.

I say the exact same thing when I get in my LC500. The experience is awesome!

Sale it

I feel a similar way when I drive it so infrequenttly about my 2014 Merc E350 Coupe awd which I've owned from new and have accumulated only just under 38K kms [not a misprint] with no problems. Original everything [including the main battery which is always on trickle charge] and always garaged. I have in other conversations been asked by 3 other diserning parties if I wished to sell it. Of course, if I inquire as to how much they offering that's where the discussion happily ends! What would I replace it with but an LC500?

@@rogerclarke2191 that's my favorite generation of E-Class, they still look amazing. That engine may be one of their best

The SEC430 a bulbous monstrosity built only for the mistresses of rich CEOs.

Talk about polar opposites…I do agree that that Z06 will probably be an absolute nightmare long term. I would not trust that GM delivered something like that properly, but that’s just me. That said, the LC will bore you to tears in comparison. Nice car, but grandpa boring compared to most other choices.

Wouldn’t go that far, you’re getting a bit carried away there, but I agree it will be collectible. The LC is very special compared to so many cars, but the LFA is head and shoulders above in specialness.

Great explanation. I continue to keep my SC430 garaged and driven minimally for that same reason.

They look even better in person.

I would say that it is for sure more collectible. Caymans are way too plentiful. I personally would never buy one, but I definitely recognize that an LC 500 is much more special than any Cayman could ever be. I’ve never liked the Cayman anyway, so I’m probably a bit biased against it if I’m being honest. You might want to think about what you are actually trying to accomplish beyond collectibility. Those 2 cars are so dissimilar it’s not even funny.

How is the maintenance?

@@aross924 comparatively like any other Lexus for the most part, rock solid relaibility - tires wear a bit faster as I have a slightly heavier foot at times compared to my daily driver Lexus', but that's to be expected. No complaints though overall.

Troll around for other LC reviews. 911 seems more like a nimble sports car, vs a cruiser.

Totally different vehicles. Do you even know what you are looking for beyond buying an expensive car? Lol

I find that yellow to be pretty horrible, but it’s different…I’ll give it that…It’s like somebody puked up mustard or something…

Umm, the LC is not a driver’s car. What I’m the world are you talking about? Incredible car though.

@@dlj1285 An incredible non-drivers car then? I have owned all the Germans - BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsches and am increasingly bored with them all.

@@shuaibshariff2797 Wow, well then that is not a good sign right out of the gates if you care at all about performance. Every person that I have ever seen talk about selling the LC is because they were bored to tears. I want to be clear. I think the LC is incredible. It has enough performance for the street for sure at the end of the day, and it is special given that it is low volume, built with incredible attention to detail, etc…Looks good… I guess as long as you are clear on your goals/wants it will be an incredible purchase.

@@dlj1285 Most of the M cars and the Porsches have become nothing less than track cars. I sold my 992 Carrera 2S because it was nowhere near as much fun as my old 996s and 997s. AMGs have lost their way with the 4 cylinders and the new CLE 53 with a 6 is light redemption. I do own a 2024 M3CS and it is the best of the lot in many ways but the suspension can be quite unsettled on normal roads and I cant get the handling benefit of that because I do not track. So it does get down to what you want, as you said.

@@shuaibshariff2797 It’s true, the choices are dwindling for a myriad of reasons these days… If I had tons of money and could have lots of cars I would have an LC500 without a doubt. I personally cannot though, so I have to choose. The 992 is a bit clinical and boring for sure, I agree. The sound alone on the LC brings a lot of drama that the 911 (992) could not dream of. In a recent purchase I was down to LC500, Lotus Emira, Porsche 911, and Jaguar F-type R. LC I ruled out only because it was a little too GT and soft. Emira kind of interested me, but man there are a ton of issues with that car, availability problems, and I have no dealer close by. The 992 911, again, to me clinical/boring, sounds like crap…I like them, a buddy of mine has one, but just not ticking all the boxes for me. This is not even mentioning the insane pricing and purchasing conditions there are with Porsches these days over the past few years (in Canada at least). In the end I went with a 2024 F-type R. Not a choice for everyone, but it was the one that brought the right combination of things I was looking for. Not soft (but not taking your teeth out either), brutal power and vibe, incredible looking (my opinion only), and the car is really quite worked out at this point. I don’t need perfect reliability for a purchase like this, it just needs to be reasonable. And the reliability on this particular car definitely is fine if you look into them (despite what people say out there). I also know people who own them and they have been good…Certainly meets my needs on balance…I also could care less about resale. Here in Canada over the past few years the resale on an F-type has tracked quite similarly to LC 500s, which did surprise me. None of these things are investments, so it doesn’t matter to me. I will hold this car a long time. To each their own. You are not making a bad call on a LC, to state the obvious. I bet it would have been an LC for me if it had more brutalness and performance to it. I’m a fan of Toyota/Lexus products. I have 2 of them. The reliability is obviously second to none.

I wish Lexus would have offered it as a 2 seater because the back seats aren’t usable anyways.

They certainly aren’t usable by western adults, they just bring the insurance down compared to a 2 seater. But how is the price high? It is better built with a nicer interior than any Aston Martin, at half the price!

Probably because it doesn’t display enough status…Sad, but probably true

Great choice

Totally different cars. Almost not even comparable.

@dlj1285 never said compared to one another. One is a luxury gt other is America's version of exotic super car. Just said I was choosing one because they both are beautiful looking cars.

@@nikosky4028 Exotic…lol, Okay there…Can’t dispute some of the positive reviews of the car and the bang for buck (magna ride, decent interior, handling, etc), but the C8 is an overstyled badly proportioned mess design-wise that will NOT stand the test of time. It’s absolutely terrible and very plasticky looking. The Z06 improves on some of this, especially the proportions problem that the base C8 has. There is literally nothing special about it at all at this point. This is what happens once everyone and their dog has one. If you are looking for a sports car, and that is your list, then the C8 is kind of a no brainer. I would never buy a LC because it’s not performant enough, but I recognize that it is a special car for what it is…For sure. Very classy and timeless. The amount of problems with the Corvette that are ongoing is ridiculous, but what else can be expected? This is GM after all. Still dropping transmissions left right and centre in 2024, still flaking paint around the headlights like a lot of them have been since day one (just what every enthusiast wants on their new car, to need to paint it), etc…I could go on, but all you need to do is go into the forums and you get a sense of the nightmares/annoyances a C8 can bring. But with their record sales (can’t argue with that), what real motivation does GM have to address issues? People are buying them regardless. Definitely a success business-wise. Of that there is no doubt. Despite everything I just said, I cannot deny the value proposition that the C8 brings. I say this only if one is paying MSRP or under, which is now more of a possibility. The insanity seems to be subsiding.

@dlj1285 there is some issue with some c8s but that's a given with the newer cars. Some points are true your saying but a nice c8 in all black convertible or white is a beautiful car. It's based on a ferrari so for you to say it's not a good looking car maybe you seen some that have that big wing and the bigger after market ground effects that cheapen the looks of the car. But it's not a ugly car at all if you have the right combination on it. The car gets a ton of attention and complements by everyone that looks at it. And for won't stand the test of time it's on its 4th year and still looks amazing. It's one of the best looking cars on the street. What is a better looking car in it's price point? And really what car after it's model year is updated stands the test of time besides the old school muscle cars.
