I think it looks pretty good...

Doesn’t look bad, but I’m partial to the hardtop

Looks a lot less expensive. Like an IS with a nice paintjob all the sudden. Then again there are VERY few convertibles that look great that weren’t designed from the outset as convertibles. And some...

yikes.

More of that glorious exhaust and it looks better than an SL or 8 series.

Not a great photo but damn them hips look wide.

He’s going to hurt his arm if he tries to hold it up by his ear just so it can rest on top of the door.

Those days are over.

No, absolutely not. IMO it completely ruins the looks.

That shot is a much better angle.

If it was in my drive way: YAY

I feel like the wheels are the real problem here

They are A problem.  Not the only one though.  These is the picture online with the tasteful wheels too.

Imagine a modern action hero wearing a tweed sport coat with elbow patches.

That kink is weird... reluctant nay from me

Miata my friend. Dougy’s elbow on the top of the door:

Not great, but its not angled up.

I had an NB, but I’m short so it was a pain to do that.  But it had a properly placed rest inside the door if I recall correctly.

The top of the trunk looks odd. I’ll take a hardtop.

Where have all the lightweights gone? > Tapas 10/15/2019 at 12:45

100% yes. The coupes look and sound amazing, and a topless option makes a lot of sense. This car should compete well against the Mercedes SL.

I don’t kink shame, but yeah - that kink is not the best.

Only reason why I don't like it...

Nay on all LC500. It's just this generation's SC 430 if you can remember that car. 

Sammyno55 > BeaterGT 10/15/2019 at 21:42

The SC 430 has terrible lines and whomever decided to put back seats in it needs to sit in them in the afterlife . This one is better. 

BeaterGT > Sammyno55 10/15/2019 at 21:45

Haha, previous SC430 owner? I can’t say the lines on this are any better though. Maybe I’m just a guy who likes curves/fluidity  and not...whatever the hell is going on here.

Never owned one. Had to ride in the back seat of one once. It's right up there with splinters under your fingernails.

Big nay from me. It's ugly and the roof lines of the coupe are part of what make it good

They traded an awkward A-pillar transition for an awkward tonneau cover transition...

Why do they feel the need to take a great design, and then steal a little bit of defeat from the jaws of victory?
