Really like these will be interesting to see how prices go over next six months.

Great looking car and I’m sure the ride is fine despite the predictable pro German review bias.

I I've driven 6 different LCs. There really is nothing to complain about regarding the ride. Not sure why the odd reviewer harps on about this.

Thanks.As suspected it’s why I would never believe a review and try one.

Yes, I agree.

Take Harris. He wasn't keen on the RC-F but loved the GS-F. I've owned an RC-F and driven several GS-Fs, the dynamics of the two cars are very similar. He didn't like the LC500. This doesn't add up.

On the flip side, I’ve driven one for a few days and found it somewhat unremarkable. It’s not unpleasant but nor is it particularly comfortable or fun. Combined with the worlds clunkiest infotainment ever and a nondescript gearbox, it’s far from a great driving experience.

It looks absolutely epic though, and the engine is great. So the fact that the rest of it is just average is not the end of the world. You’d be buying it purely for its looks though I reckon!

True.It is why they have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

And that would be enough for me,the looks,engine and overall ownership experience rather than a lap time.
