      It’s definitely a fantastic car, I test drove one. But it felt slow, heavy, impractical and outdated. And kind of overpriced. I was also surprised how quiet it was even in the upper revs. The videos make it seem so much louder than it actually is in person. So I’m not quite sure how it will be a future classic.

    I sat in a LC500 coupe at Carmax last year, it's sticker price was $80k on the dot. I've got to say, as soon as I sat in the car. I wanted it. Yes the muscle cars like the late model Mustang, Camaro and Challengers were nice. But the feel and look of the LC500 let alone the drive train had me sold. If I'd be able to afford it, I would love to own one of these cars.

    I left your video for today's coffee as per usual, but I already thought yesterday what I wanna say here and it turns out you said exactly same stuff within the first 30 seconds of this video what I had on my mind. Hands down a dream car if I were 60yo. Jokes aside, it is a dream car for a couple cars garage solution with it being the daily or for shorter cruises assuming I were to have something like an RS6 or X5/Cayenne already for longer trips/big shopping like furniture & stuff. The interior is a piece of art. I absolutely love the center tunnel and the shape of that dashboard. I kinda wish the screen wasn't there and the clock was on the center surrounded by piano black panel, but that's a very minor complaint and that wish is really unrealistic in a modern, luxurious cabriolet. I always thought the wheel on this one definitely looks good, maybe it isn't the prettiest wheel in the world but it definitely looks like the most comfortable one. Looks like it has the perfect thickness down to a micrometer in diameter. Maybe it's the leather colour, but it looks... creamy?

    I bought my 3rd ex wife a 2006 Solara convertible. I loved it and left my 06 Z06 Corvette in the garage. It left my life with 168000 trouble free miles. I immediately found another one outta state and bought it. Enjoying it still today. Who new they made fun cars that didn't break down.

    No wind buffeting all the way up to 80 mph is insane! I am so annoyed by wind buffeting in cars - even with the front windows all the way down many are uncomfortable starting at 40 mph.

    I love this!!! I still like the jaguar though I do like the Lexus but the jaguar seems to have more power. Keep up the great work!!!

    I saw one of these at a car meet in Columbus and it sounded incredible and i love the tail lights. Cars are so much cooler in real life
