I'd take my 75k straight past this to the LC next to it.

Saw a yellow LC at Lexus Tunbridge Wells on Sunday. While obvs beautiful, prefer the looks of the RC-F. Actually surprised me as in all the photos the LC looks way better.

All the comments about this being too slow are ridiculous. How often does a person use full power and acceleration in everyday life? Does a car need to be any faster?
Just remember that this might be one of the last cars with an engine with character, not just an electric appliance, or dull turbo engine.

When did a car that's been on sale for just 4 years become a "dinosaur"? I remember when cars sometimes had to live for 10+ years with minimal changes.

It's not referring to the age of the car, it's referring to the fact it's a big NA V8, as opposed to turbocharged.... I think.

I’ll have to check with FIL on warranty but he told me he’d get his money back if it wasn’t used??

Either way we’ve driven his hard for 30k Miles now and it’s not put a foot wrong.

Complained that seat bolster was wearing a bit (they do, when getting in and out obvs) and they stuck a new seat in. Tiny spot of lacquer coming off an alloy wheel - 4 new alloys at your next service sir.

I bought the M4 over the RCF as I prefer the dynamics, but there is no denying that Lexus offers owners a fantastic experience and ultimately end up retaining customers because of this - he’s got his name down for the LC Cab.

Currently own a C4S and LP560. While they both great, I think I’m more a M2 guy - old school design, compact, and manual but most of all, zero attention that would attract haters and losers around my car. I get it in black naturally with no special options except a moon roof.

Have you replied in the right place?

Slower around the track than a Supra which is half the price. Nope

Anyone who references track times in relation to Lexus F cars simply doesn't get the proposition

Even if the name of said Lexus is followed by the term 'Track pack'?

You have me there - it does give validity to the reference. Although not in the case of a Supra.

What I meant to convey was that Lexus do not build their F cars to be the quickest in class on a track - rightly or wrongly is debatable but the ownership proposition is not based on winning the reviewers multi car timed lap test.
