there was a white my18 for low 70s like earlier this year?

i think the sg ownership video series he recommends 19+ for better suspension and shift logic

They’ve fucked with the suspension tuning and gear change programming for every single year the cars been out. Making it softer and softer as the original was quite a bit too stiff for the old men who buys this sort of thing. Similarly smoothing out the gear change and shifting logic.

I’ve driven a 2018 and it’s not even that bad. Depending on how you like your cars, you might even prefer that one as it’s tighter than the new ones.

Such a niche car to buy, it could be a daily or weekend car. But if it's a daily, I'm leaning towards a performance model 3/y or even p100d model s

Does it come with a built in AED to kickstart your heart once you pass away from boredom?

Buys Tesla

Stomps on "Go" pedal

"Look I can go insanely fast!"

Repeats 10x

Something feels vaguely empty in life

Starts having reminiscing moments of things like steering feel... engine noise...

Joy dissipates

Frown lines form

Hunch in back becomes more noticeable

Soul leaves body

Death

im pretty certain this will be a future classic given all the signs

1) Pretty rare. They've only sold like less than 40,000 vehicles globally since 2018
2) Expensive when new, thus adding to the rarity
3) Last NA V8 along with the IS500 and the soon to be dead RC-F (GSF already died). This really is the swan song for the toyota V8
4) Concept car styling
5) Decent enough performance

The MK4 Supra had all these hallmarks so it'll likely appreciate as well. Considering majority of the people are going some sort of a EV/hybrid bullshit, this is the last of the breed. I dont think you would lose much if anything if you bought one and kept it.

Maintenance is nothing, insurance is cheap (mines only $2000 a year with 5 million, 300/300 and max discounts).

There would be a LC in our garage if we didn't have kids. But that spot is taken by a SUV right now.

trollface 11-22-2023 12:36 PM

I'd have an LC if i wasn't economically challenged.

I think so too, the idea of picking up for $70K and it being worth $80K+ in 5 - 10 years after enjoying it is nice. Low insurance + maintenance costs.

Exhaust sounds nice af too.

So LC / RCF are all dead in Europe and the UK.

Soon this disease will come to North America and then GG... no re

EvoFire 04-13-2024 02:58 PM

Lexus historically did not do well in Europe.

Europe and UK especially get really spotty coverage for Japanese cars for some reason despite UK being RHD just like Japan. A lot of Japanese brands in UK seem to not have a corporate presence and are imported and sold by private companies, this also means they choose which models to import and the interesting doesn't get brought in.

Badhobz 01-15-2025 06:25 PM

Some geezer on ClubLexus posted this one. pretty interesting to see how much of my ratrolla is hand-assembled and how efficient those teams are.

scary efficient. no way you'd get my ass to work like that. I love watching these factory tours. i watched the one for the MK8 Golf too. Dem germans are not as motivated it seems as much of the assembly is automated.

This is how Porsche manufactures their cars

Oh, you meant assembly line manufacturing. My bad. :inout:
