Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h Arriving May 2017

If Lexus could only figure out how to design a pleasing grille.
 
The LFA is one car I have never seen..... though I think it was overpriced...
 
Toyota is bringing back performance cars, I hope they are better than before. Not off to a great start with the FRS/86/whatever imo. The '90s Supra TT was a nice car but boring... I think a version of this Lexus will also be a Toyota Supra.
 
Steve it does not cost $492k (The LC 500), you didn't turn your 4 into a $.

Doesn't seem like much of a buy compared to a GTR (uggggly) or Corvette.

Yeah, and the vid said 4.4 to 60, that's way too slow for this market segment. My STi is at 4.6 and it's slow vs a GTR or Vette.

A comparo of this vs any other car in the market, even including the GT350 and Camaro ZL1 would have this thing firmly in last place, not even close. Toyota is entering the game late and has some stiff competition. Considering they have never built a decent motor (with the exception of the TT Supra) I don't hold out any hope they have a chance.

The next Supra is being co-designed with BMW. Kinda like Toyota/Subie on the small 2 seater they did.
