I've accepted that personally I'll be leasing a fun somewhat affordable car like an M2 and then keep an old BMW or Porsche in the garage for weekend fun. It's too bad Lexus refuses to make a proper driver's car otherwise that would make a reliable and cheap to maintain daily driver. The LC is an amazing product especially once they depreciate, but it's more a cruiser.

you've nailed exactly where I've landed as an enthusiast, a newer and tighter reliable car for the more regular use and a manual normally aspirated keeper car in the background (in my case an r8 v0 6mt, which I am still on the hunt for)
