Sure, BUT... looks are sooo subjective . For example , as stunning as the Maserati GTS is, to me it’s not even close to ( maybe just a distant second ) in looks when compared to the Aston Martin DB 11 . ( keeping all this in the touring cars category so we’re not comparing apples to oranges ). Not sure the Ferrari 599 Fiorano is considered touring, that would put the GTS even further down in my book .

Yup, I'd take an Aston Martin, DBS in my case, over a GT any day.

The most beautiful car ever made.

V12 and a manual......what more can you ask?

Ok then, to stay strictly on the GTS vs. LC 500 “ looks only “ topic - still very subjective ; whilst I also think the GTS is considerably the better looking car, I’d bet there are quite a few people out there who feel the opposite is true. I‘ve seen four or five LC 500s up close and in person, and I must say I do a double take every single time. Maybe because I’ve never seen a good looking Japanese car before and the shock of seeing this one just adds to its appeal ...to me.

BTW, what’s the correct plural of Lexus ? Lexi ? Lexuses ?

BYW, what’s the correct plural of Lexus ? Lexi ? Lexuses ?

Let's put it this way......When I was out in LA recently, I saw GT's literally everywhere. Nobody paid any attention to them. The one LC 500 convert. I saw that was parked on Rodeo Drive drew crowds that would shame a Ferrari.

I recall reading an article ( I believe it was in Robb Report magazine ) which suggested that any appearance comparison between two different cars, should always be with both those cars being of a similar / comparable color. They claimed that your visual impression of the cars’ lines can be significantly distorted if there is a material difference in color.

Of course that concept doesn’t translate all that well if you’re comparing a Jag E-type to an AMC Pacer, but otherwise , IMO, that suggestion makes a lot of sense.

I've seen a few LCs here, but the only one that caught my eye was a bronze metallic orange. The other common colors just faded in with the ubiquitous RC and IS cars which are everywhere.
