Hi Thomas It sounds OK, what happened to the sound inside? Considering its a 5L V8 the sound is mediocre, I wish it was like the C63 Merc, it should have at least a way of controlling the exhaust sound by way of a button/switch after all its a 80K+ car. I had a test drive of the LC500, its lovely car and I love the way it looks, but that sound just doesn't do that V8 justice, its a shame. Sorry just my own opinion, I was all set to buy one but now I can't decide lol Kev

Yep I get where you are both coming from, but I'm at my limit 90K, so the AMG GT is not on my radar. I know a new convertible is coming out, I was just wondering if their were any facelifts for the LC on the horizon.

lol MNMJ if only I could afford both, not seen many deals around yet!!!!!!

Hi Colin Good to hear that you are happy with both the car and dealer

Hi Colin Good to hear you are enjoying the LC I know your current mileage is low, have you had any problems with the car? Not sure where you bought it from, if a main dealer what was your experience of their service. I'm in two minds as to buying one, I need something to push me over the line!!!! Happy driving Kev

Hi John The trouble is one says get the LC one minute and then the C63 the next and then vice versa lol. I wish the LC was noisier, I know its not meant to be that kind of car, but perhaps the option either way would be nice. Hi John and John this surprises me I thought Lexus were a luxury brand, my first impressions of them are poor. Hi Chris Yes I get where your coming from, but the whole experience from phoning for a test drive to having the test drive, then the salesman jumping out and saying goodbye will call you later the same day and not bothering, I had the test drive last Friday, still no call. So one call would have been nice, who knows. I might try the Woodford dealer, see if any better, there's got to be better service than this. Having said all the above I still love the looks of the LC, the interior is gorgeous and that V8 is still a nice engine, red or deep blue hmmm come on dealers you could have made all the difference. Whats this thing with the fuel filler cap????? Thanks again all, got my head in my hands and my heart waiting to be stolen haha

Hi All Thanks for your replies. You talk about customer service with regards Lexus, I visited their Sidcup dealer last week and test drove the LC, car lovely, definitely needs that exhaust opened up, and yes the speed cannot match the C63, and that growl wow, but the LC does feel classier and has those lovely looks. Anyway I found the dealer not really interested, no follow up call, seemed to be an inconvenience, I don't know not what I expected. I own a S5 Audi at present and the dealers couldn't and can't do enough for you So still not decided, did have a look at that exhaust post on here, seems a shame that on a brand new car you cannot keep the exhaust flaps or whatever it is open with a switch or something, its a near 90k car. Another funny thing most of my mates are split roughly 50/50, now that doesn't help haha. Thanks again all

Hi all Have been looking to buy a new car, but cannot make up my mind, LC500 or C63. I am not a boy racer but do love the noise these V8s produce, the LC seems only to sound good on start up and when pushed, whereas the C63 sounds awesome all the time. The LC is lovely inside, I love it, now I'm thinking after all the comments above that I don't need the SP+ and save a bit of money, I loved the deep blue, but now love the red omg I'm cracking up. Does the car look much different in normal mode, and is there anyway of getting that noise more often. Please help me, I am going mad lol Thanks all in advance Kev
