Falling at the back, the wheel of the LC also means coping with the demands of Lexus’s Enform infotainment system and its inept Remote Touchpad controller. Developments over the years have seen it increase quite a few secondary buttons for menu shortcuts, but it remains one of the most distracting systems on the market, meaning that you may miss the stares from adoring onlookers while you shuffle to change the radio station.
The LC500’s high-five-figure along with standard automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beams, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, also featured a $900 color head-up display and a $1220 Mark Levinson premium stereo with 13 speakers.
By contributing the hybrid LC 500h for precisely the same price as the V8, Lexus is polarizing its customers. The hybrid will appeal to early adopters and those who like the idea of a relatively environmentally friendly GT car that’ll cover sober mileage in comfort.
