Default 2018 Lexus LC500...

The wifey and I just saw one on the way home from our Costco trip this morning and it really caught her eye, we turned back to the dealership to get a closer look.

Wifey really likes...and she's the one stroking the check...so I dunno.
It's a sexy machine but would need a test drive to either include it or dismiss it as a replacement for the leased F-Type.

We currently have a Lexus and have always been impressed by the ride quality and reliability...decisions, decisions.

It is a nice car. At $90k it's in line to compete with the S class coupe and 6 series.

Just got back from a test drive, even though they said this morning no test drives unless you're putting down $5k to order...I pulled up in the jag and that was waived,lol.

They had two, one was sold and on the showroom floor, in Caviar Black and a c/f roof. That one was $102k, this one is $101k with more options to be had, Whatever I get will be fully loaded.

Drives nicely, impressive power.

Nice looking, love that the dealer adds a random $4995 "protection package"....really?

That is the way that they are able to sell a hot car above MSRP. They will put "something" in it, but it is pure dealer profit.

I definitely don't care for the look of that care from the front door backwards. Especially the rear end.

Each to his own - I bet the engine is fun!

I'd take a 718 Cayman S and have enough left over for a Honda Ridgeline!

The Porsche may be a great car but I have never been a fan of their looks and would never own one...
