NAIAS 2016: 2017 Lexus LC500 - Ur-Lexus for Next Generation?
Four years after Lexus unveiled its LF-LC at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, the automaker announced Monday that it would put into production largely the same car and call it the LC 500.

Seriously, the LC 500 is by the same people who make the ES 350.

“In addition to the LS (a large sedan), there could be another flagship in our lineup,” Bracken said. “We’ll define what it is in January.”
Sheesh.
