I'm going, if you have any friends that work at dealerships ask them. I got free employee tickets from my buddy.

I got the BCAA discount. My workplace/dealership didn't mention anything about free tickets <.<

I'm going mainly for car shopping.

Openroad Lexus in Richmond had a special event tonight for the lc500. The same cars will be present at the auto show.

I think It looks quite good but like all modern cars it's a bit too high for my taste. Large 21 inch wheels balance the look but still not as sleek and sexy as the older generation coupes. Sounds good but not great. Got to Rev it a few times and I would say it's deep but not throaty enough to be on par with the f type or a Ferrari V8. Sounds better than the mustang GT though.

Whats the retail on one of those.

Badhobz 03-25-2017 09:30 PM

101k for base V8

0-60 4.5 sec for the V8. Not sure what the hybrid numbers are.

StylinRed 03-26-2017 01:12 AM

I'm waiting to hear about a LCF, since this is just running the RCFs engine

But I'm loving the look

Badhobz 03-26-2017 06:04 AM

Lexus said the lc-f will be a twin turbo V8. Same mill as the LC just with twin turbos added. Should be launched in 2 years

I've been on the look out for cheap passes as well. So far no dice :(

I haven't been in years, so it's time. Last time I went, it was still being held at BC Place :badpokerface:

Same story for me last year... the venue is a massive improvement, worth seeing at least once. I think Ford is supposed to have the GT there?

i'm pretty sure i saw on the VIAS facebook page that CTR will be there.

Excited to see it in person as well as the Ford GT. I'm hoping we'll get the canadian debut of the 2018 wrx/sti and 2018 Golf R(doubtful for both)

the specs just isnt there to make it all that impressive for 100k car...

4.5 seconds 0-60 is a bit lackluster nowadays. M2 is faster than that and its half the cost. 911 base is still a better performer, and the F type still sounds better.

Yeah i get its a GT car, but so are a lot of other cars that can perform GT duties and still provide a sporty / communicative chassis.
