John.......The Lexus LC500 makes the older Lexus LFA V10 look dated.

Still would have the LFA though, that V10 has one of the best noises ever (IMHO)
(as a daily, the LC500 will be nicer offcourse, more a GT then an sportscar)

The front end of the LFA looks like it came out of a Disney/Pixar movie.

For me best sounding "street car" engine ever, probably upsetting the V8 fanboys ;-)

LC500 (non hybrid) will cost a 100000,- Euro in Europe, how much are they in the USA ?

THe LFA's were around 350000,- Euro, low millage examples now go for double that amount.

The Lexus LC500 lists at $92,975 and the performance package adds an additional $10,000.

Bill.......That's about right. Here in Florida a well equipped Lexus LC500 runs about $103K. That doesn't include 7% State sales tax, registration, or tag fees. The "out the door" price is closer to $110K. I imagine when the numbers are being floated with the sales manager there may be $5K to $6K wiggle room to close a deal but probably not much more on this new Lexus.

This will get it done.
