Drive the new LC500 - its the only great vehicle that Lexus still makes. If it was under the BMW brand - it would be sitting in my garage already.

I left the Lexus brand long ago and the Predator grill has kept me from coming back. Sadly now same thing may happen with BMW.
Oh I love the LC500. I've had the opportunity to drive it on a few occasions and it's such a joy to drive. Not the greatest performer but it's so much fun. If I didn't need a usable backseat it would definitely be high up on the list of cars for me to purchase.

When I had an ES as a loaner back when I did own a couple Lexus's, it didn't seem nearly as bad as it does today... so maybe just a case of changing perspective for me.
