I've posted elsewhere that the Lexus LC500 was on my short list but primarily discounted due to the ridiculous Infotainment package. I too think it actually is better looking than the 8 series but seat wise it was the narrowness that was an issue for me. Also, perhaps illogically I was also stuck on the sub par performance vs the M850i based on all of the reviews at the time. That said the naturally aspirated V8 has an absolute glorious sound that I could not get enough of during the test drives. |

I had a 2019 LC500 with sport package for 5 months and 5000 miles, before an idiot hit me head on and totaled the car (repair estimate was over $66K). I walked away from this with bruises from the seatbelts and a torn rotator cuff.
I thought the seats were immensely comfortable. And the interior (I had the toasted caramel color) was really special. Would have replaced it with an identical car if I could have found one in a reasonable time frame. Bought the M850i instead. It drives better and the tech is better, but I do miss the LC now and then.

One neat feature the LC had (I think other Lexus models may have it too) was the climate concierge. You set the temperature you want and it controls not only the climate system but also the seat heating or cooling and the steering wheel heat. The climate rules in the 8 that control heating or cooling are not quite as sophisticated. |

Out of curiosity I might look at it, but I wouldn't seriously consider it. An M8 is less than that, and that kind of money also puts other cars into play, such as an Aston Martin Vantage or a 911.

If it does ever comes to fruition and with 700 hp it may be a better performer than the M8. I don't see a 911 as a direct competitor to the M850, different kinds of cars. I just hope all the large GT's even survive over the next few years.

at least that's my opinion. although at the local country club I see a lot of bigger and bigger SUVs. honestly you can't find anything parked in the club parking lots smaller than an x5 around my area. |
