  1. My folks have a 2012 RX350 and absolutely love it. They could buy a new car, but have no interest in changing vehicles.

  2. He’s good, but there are others out there that are good too. Also he was wrong that the LC500 is built for the track. This is my favorite car, but it’s a luxury GT car, not a sports car and not at all designed or intended for the track. It’s too big, it’s too heavy, it’s too slow, it has very poor low-end torque, the suspension is too soft, the brakes aren’t built for sustained heavy breaking, the lack of a dual-clutch transmission makes it slow to shift, the big engine upfront causes considerable understeer. If you track it, you’ll be very disappointed.

  3. it depends if you want a sports care or a GT car. I’ve had Porsches and they are elite sports cars. Now that I’m a bit older, a great GT car that is reliable and holds its value is exactly what I want.

  4.  @KingMatt1  ok, I’ll concede it’s a marginal sports car, but primarily designed to be an elite GT

  5.  @Tomoyo0827 As an engineer that worked for Tesla, I assume you’re talking about creature comfort tech, because Toyota is far ahead of US firms in terms automobile tech and manufacturing tech. It’s not even close. That’s why Toyota vehicle depreciate at half the speed of US vehicles.

  6. Green cars are difficult to resell, which is great for you, if you plan to buy a used one. I don’t like all green cars, but this one looks very nice

  7. I agree that this is a superb GT car, but I’m very surprised he considers it a track car. The LC500 was not at all designed or intended for the track. It’s too long, it’s too heavy, it’s too slow, it has very poor low end torque, the suspension is way too soft, the brakes aren’t built for sustained heavy breaking, the steering is way too detached from the road, the big engine upfront causes considerable understeer, the lack of a dual clutch transmission makes it too slow to shift. This is my favorite car and my daily driver, but it is a very average track car. If you track it, you’ll will be very disappointed.
