Searching around 10 Lexus dealers in big cities on east coast, not one had the tan.

Bob.......The Alcantara/Leather Rioja Red just doesn't do it for me but there is a LC500 with the Toasted Caramel interior at the Melbourne, Florida Lexus dealership. The vehicle color is Caviar. I'm not sure what that color looks like but it is a dark color. I think the lines and trim on the LC500 appear more dramatic in lighter colors but I would have to see one for myself to be certain.

The caviar appears to be a dark grey metallic.

If I had a 3 car garage (), the warm hues of the toasted Carmel interior with the Autumn Shimmer exterior just says class. Period.

Good luck Sir,

Bob

P.S. don't forget your title & preapproved certified check.

Bob.......Yes, I like the Autumn Shimmer color, too. I think this is the Lexus LC500 in Caviar color.

I was at my local Lexus dealer looking at SUVs last week and they had several "caviar" vehicles. It's a black with metallic flakes, looks beautiful, almost ash gray in some light and black in others. I think the metallic shimmer also helps hide some dirt so it doesn't seem to look as bad dirty as a regular black does.

Tony.......Thanks for that. I wasn't exactly sure of the color because photos didn't seem to reveal the Cavair color clearly.

I have to admit, the Atomic Silver looks mighty nice on this beautiful vehicle.

Dave.......No reason to be on the fence about the grill. Tell us how you really feel.

To me the geometric shape and pattern of the LC500 spindle grill, along with the manner in which the Lexus engineers have manage to reduce its overall size, particularly the height, works well with the ebb and flow of the body work, air scopes, and lamps. The shape has grown on me.

I like the rear quarters. That squatting stance is appealing. I even admit I notice that same look in the latest (cough) Mustangs.

I find the grill in the RX SUV particularly off-putting (one reviewer described it as a sheep in wolf's clothing), but in the LC I think it really works. I like that red color too.
