K22MDL

Sort of doable - the coffee better be good, it's a 4 hour round trip! When's their next meet?

I think the colour combo is great if dare I say a tad Japanese inside colour wise. Last Christmas I was in Manchester staying at a hotel and an LC with the exact same combo was parked in a public car park behind the hotel. I thought I still find the shape incredible and 2 days later had a test drive in one. The weather was horrendous but I knew I'd be back to purchase later. What took me so long?! 10 months to be precise. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you Brian, at the moment I'm just wishing the days away until delivery.

Hi Brett, yes I see you're in the same section of the UK as me. Yours looks stunning and I guess, like me, you've had your share if V12's in the past? This first LC is me dipping my toe in the water and if I like it I'm sure I'll be trading for another. Looking forward to meeting up for a cars and coffee soon!

Thank you Roy and Fred and no, not a member of the cast of Star Wars but use the same K22MDL for all forums/social media. Name is Martin. Having owned well over 100 cars++ in 50 years of motoring, I most certainly do have lots of stories to tell and indeed comparisons. Last luxury car was a Bentley V8 GTC (one of 5 prevously owned) and I really didn't want to go there again even if the series 3 is almost a new car up. My new steed is still just under 2 weeks away from being delivered so will start reporting my feelings about the car then. I think initially I'll just pull up a chair and stare....

Thank you for this, if it works with my 2017 LC500h I;'ll be very happy. Pity Lexus won't offer an upgrade....

Ha!!! I've just purchased a used LC500h without ML option and worrying that the standard fit audio won't be to my liking, so reading this post is interesting..... I'll re-read and see if I can get my head around it but I do like good audio and if it wasn't for the fact that the car ticked every other box for my purchase (5000 miles & 1 owner in 5 years are just two...!) I'd have passed. HUD is missing too but that isn't a deal breaker. Any other comments / advice you can offer it would be much appreciated.

Having purchased my first LS400 in 1991 2nd in 1992, SC400 Soarer in 1995, I've finally come back to the fold many years later with an LC500h. 1 owner with just 5000 miles on the clock, I'm looking forward to owning this stunning looking machine for over the future years. Most of my friends agree I should have purchased one years ago. Why the Hybrid? Just liked the technology, mpg and being different. I've had dozens of 5 & 7ltr V8's, V12's & W12's and the V6 plus Hybrid power train is hardly lacking. Car arrives in less than two weeks, possible downsides? He passed on the optional HUD & Mark L audio but I'm hoping the standard fit is acceptable, HUD is nice and my current two cars have got it but since I wear polarised glasses, I'm not particularly fussed. Being a 2017 built car it doesn't have Android Auto and I gather Lexus have been more that uninterested in offering an upgrade, which is a great shame. I do many miles and it means I've got to use my phone once again for the privilege. Hope you like the colour combo.

This is interesting as I was thinking of getting a BlackVue dask cam fitted front and rear to my incoming LC500h. Is it difficult to find a suitabkle 12V rail to power the cam otherwise then?
