      Lexus cars with ambient light, also dim down when they are put into drive.
      There are few videos online that caputure the ambient light. Its more light than bright LED.
      I testdrove a RC a few months ago, filmed the light bar while in a tunnel (slow traffic jam speed) and it was not bright at all and hardly visable on footage.
      And I cant remember it in real life too.

      this 2 seater coupe is almost as long (3 inches shorter) than an e60 M5. Also it's meant to be a stiff, quiet, luxury car, rather than a sport coupe/sedan like the E60 M5 was. There's probably at least a couple hundred pounds in sound deadening alone in the LC500.

    but at a price of 92k there are several more exciting vehicles at half the price or lower; so honestly I would expect way more than a pathetic 400 something horsepower. the only good thing about it is that its a Toyota. What a joke.
    Edit: a mustang gt makes about 460 to its 471; you could get the same power or more with a few simple mods like exhaust and an air intake. and if you really wanted to you could make it have way more than that with just a little bit of money all while still being cheaper and almost just as reliable.
