2017 Lexua LC500 coupe

Not bad looking. Lexus ABSOLUTELY NEVER IMPRESSES me, and though I'm not blown away. This is the nicest car I've seen them build in a long time. Can't believe Lexus will have 3 coupes running simultaneously. Hopefully, this one will feel more raw in terms of performance.

I'm pretty sure this is about $20k more expensive but I'm sure the Q60 will perform better.

The Q60 isn't ugly. It's just not as eye popping as the concept. I'll reserve my opinion on the Q till I see it's ipl or equivalent and in a variety of colors. Red IMHO isn't a great color unless it's on an exotic. The silver concept was nice.

I read this will be released next spring, and will start just under $100K. Sexy as hell but I'm too poor lol.

The fact that it has the same engine and same power as the RC F ***** everything up though. At least have 500hp with that V8 and 10 speed at AT? ��

For 100k it will under perform anything in its class. Score one more for Nissan in terms of performance.

So when will Lexus just go ahead and rename themselves to Gundam Wing and cut the bullsh!t? It's abundantly clear to me that all of the former animators of that show are working for their design team.

I would buy the **** out of a Gundam Wing LC550 F on principle of the name.

Meanwhile at Nissan, it appears they hired all of the reject animators from Looney Tunes and assigned them to the Maxima. Fiat are disappoint.

I would think the LC500 is probably going to be close to $100k and the Q60 won't touch it in performance. The LC will have a power advantage, a transmission advantage and likely weigh less. Not to mention the current IS platform handles a ton better than the current Q50 platform.

Im of the opinion LEXUS, despite its prowess at engineering, has never been a #'s phenom. Id wager this wont be all that much quicker (if at all) than the new Q Turbo from a dig to say 100. Look at the LFA, its a engineering MARVEL with REALLY pedestrian performance numbers for the class of car. Just like EVERY car theyve EVER built. Its the MAZDA of the Luxury world.

Put both cars on a track and I'll put my money on the LC.
