Ordered a bespoke V8 mica blue convertible with white interior. Can’t wait!

No wonder I couldn't hear the V8 rumble. Click bait title. This is the LC 500h with the V6. Bleh.

I just love the V8 but, I don't hate the V6 as much and I understand the logic of getting better MPEG with the same style and comfort of LC In actually it makes a lot of sense when I consider travelling long distances

The v8 Engine is the Heart of this model. No one who buys it care about efficiency. We are in for the symphony. The v6 cant sing

A large dimensional body with minimal internal storage capacity; an old and limited interior; (One cup holder and no place to store your SmartPhone- come' on man!); no massage seat option; no all wheel steering; and worst of all- you cannot order precisely what you want as Lexus dealers 'get what is shipped to them' as two of my local dealers have informed me. "Yes' you can do a build or Bespoke request, but no guaranteers on these and the Bespoke option does not offer rear wheel steering.  I keep getting offers from my two Lexus dealers trying to sell me LC500 models which have exterior colors that I do not like or which have interior features which are not the options that I desire!

The 12" touch display (should have been added 8 years ago) looks like it was an afterthought placement; After its 2018 introduction, the Lexus LC500 engineers either left this platform or got lazy, as there are minimal logical upgrades that were needed- like fold-down rear seats! If you can afford it, the Mercedes AMG GT 55, makes a lot more sense and you can custom order all interior and exterior features. OBTW- I am also an existing g Lexus owner, so no sour grapes from me, just frustrated with this very limited vehicle. For 2025 I am looking for an upgrade in the LC 500 or I go down the street and visit the Mercedes Benz dealership where I can custom-design my own AMG GT55!

OBTW- The LC500h is not selling well at all- it's a failure! So any replacement for the LC500 needs to eliminate this engine hybrid feature if Lexus wants to sell anymore higher end models!

I’ve put over 1, 000 miles on the Hybrid and V8 versions and I would take the V8 personally. What about you?

[louislazarus]

Can somebody please tell me the difference between the TOUCH SCREEN and TEXING ON YOUR SMART PHONE?? Either way, you are taking your eyes off the road while traveling at speeds up to 120 feet per second. Not sure...but in many states it's against the law to TEXT while driving. But, it's OK to use a TOUCH That makes no sense. Maybe if you're a person who purchases a complex/high tech auto, you should learn all about the features? The old INFOTAINMENT allows VOICE COMMAND, as does the new system I believe. Why not learn a few common/everyday commands so you never have to stop watching the road in front of you. My six year old 2018 has VOICE COMMAND. I've been using this feature for six years and seldom use the TOUCH PAD. I keep my eyes on the road so I lessen the chance of injuring someone. Every reviewer seems to comment the exact same thing. They all hate the touch pad. Not one of them ever mentions that the driver can talk to the car and tell it what to do. That seems pretty lazy to me. What is so hard about saying "TUNE TO AM 680" or "CALL MY WIFE" or "SET TEMPERATURE TO 68 DEGREES". Most of the time, you can simply talk to the car. It does require reading the OWNER'S MANUAL...BUT WHO DOES THAT?

Taking the V8 out of it takes the soul out of the car

[IAMKELLYLYON]

The fact that you can get the bmw m3 and m4 comp x-drive which are better cars around the same price just takes away the beauty of the Lexus for real

[hyplerai]

This isn't the one you want, this one is boring.

[nvn]

Pricing didn’t make sense, V8 is less than V6
