There's quite a bit of headroom, but I'm only 6ft tall. I'm not sure the exact specs of 99th percentile, but that sounds like a fairly large man.

Haha, will have to wait and see :D

Can't really say much, but Lexus is about to bring some heavy hitting stuff to market. It's not gonna be instantaneous though. That said, they will work top to bottom most likely with the LS already being taken care of.

No 4cyl or limited to a single market if it is a thing.

yeah, that looks better than just about everything else IMO

There are a bunch on here; a few have reached out to me, and they have all been super cool. I wouldn't expect any of them to say anything here though and rightfully so from a company perspective.

pretty much. hypothetically, the LC performance car would probably be several seconds faster than a possible A90 top tier performance variant; that is a massive amount in terms of 'Ring time comparisons. none of this is finalized though, so.

Not to oversimplify, but the engineering track has been good to go for a long time. There have been no major changes aside from anything taking place right now (unlikely). Car was always set to be a 2020MY. As far as the slowdown in leaks, simple, they go around and tell everyone to cut the...

that is definitely one I cant answer haha, but Tada definitely was adamant about a great deal of things on that end. He applied a very Toyota approach vs what BMW would be content with. The two cars/variants are very different in a myriad of ways despite sharing components. It's legitimately...

yeah, it wasn't even a priority from what I've been told. I mean the RC-F is like 3900lbs O_o (wish it wasn't so)

Any hypothetical LC performance car will have to be extremely fast on the Ring to justify its price. Ultimate competitor likely 911 GT3/AMG GTR

no disagreement there; I wish they would have knocked 500+lbs off that and put a turbo toyota motor under the hood with a DCT. oh wait :D

how dare you not share your shaman skills sooner...

haha no, nothing of the sort. I may have had some fun with that argument and gone over the top, but it's definitely not anything personal or severe in any sense. It's good to engage in all forms of debate IMO.

The base A90 is designed as a Cayman killer, but the higher trims have been diversified a bit further :) In terms of A80, maybe something like SZ, SZ-R, and RZ as far as that goes. There is a trend there: RC, RC F-Sport, RC-F with Lexus and GR, GR-S, GRMN with some of the current Toyotas.

Nissan did the Q30/QX30 with Mercedes, and the reviews on the car are far less than stellar from what I've seen. I'm not a big Merc fan in general though, aside from the AMG GT.

I very much believe the higher trims will be special order only aside from some dealers that will order the GRMN to show off and never sell. same old story...

Ford and Chrysler both instituted markup mitigation measures that penalize dealers that participate in those activities, but I am unsure of what Toyota has done on that end. I dont think Honda has any measures in place, which is why the NSX and Civic Type R were sky high price wise.

80 vs 110k is still a big jump IMO That said, I'd recommend reviewing Lexus price bracketing for the RC in terms of structure based on changes/modifications. In other words the jump between them. At the same time, it's not an exact science and prices are subject to change and all sorts of...

Always over, and if not get out.
