The reason why the sales are low it's because of where we are as a society which is purchasing vehicles by Analytics or a simpler way of putting it is magazine numbers. Our very own member @nawghtyhare is a prime example of this.
When previously asked about getting a charger Hellcat he said he would not do it because the top speed is 2mph less then his current Hellcat but he has yet to go more than a hundred 164mph in his current Hellcat. So the reason that he gave for not wanting a charger Hellcat does not even apply to him.
It's the same thing when demon owners saying they have an 8 second car poor people buying a car based on the time that Randy pobst got at Laguna Seca Raceway or the Nurburgring. Most people now by Vehicles based on the manufacturer's money and professional drivers accomplishments.
The LC500 is a great balance of luxury and performance as well as it should be because it's a GT car not a sports car. It has a completely different design language than the other big three luxury Brands and it's the only one with a naturally aspirated motor. If you are a trrue enthusiast and are spending that kind of money on a car( which most people who buy these types of vehicles are car enthusiast) the LC will not stand out because it is indeed the slowest and does not have the tech.
For what 98% of people do on a weekly basis with their car the LC has more then enough power and luxury
Fair comparison to the LC500........
S550 coupe
650i coupe
I could go deeper but you get the idea. To me the LC is special just on the fact that it is the only luxury car you can buy with a NA V8.
I'd also put the F-Type R 5.0 in that comparison as well. Materials are great as it has lots of luxury. Not the greatest infotainment (the new one, which I do NOT like the refreshed nose) is better than the ones a few year ago.
