add BMW (M6), Benz (SL coupe), Jag (F-type), Audi (S5), etc, I'd expect at least 25,000 units / year.

I went with the NSX as they're both Japanese and new(ish). I don't think I'd use the 911 as a comparison to the LC as they really aren't competitors.
6 series sales were 223 for January, that includes all 4 models.

Hey Saki Did not say it was a Good Value ! My main point was the Styling of almost everything is so generic that something like this blows the mind that an automaker would actually make something interesting for ONCE.
I am with you on the F type and watching those used values fall !

LC is definitely more along the lines of tourer in the GT spectrum than a 911, but for a sporty coupe with a semblance of a back seat, the 911 was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the LC...
They may not be direct competitors but I think they are playing in the same market, especially given the number of people that buy automatic 911s for daily commutes and showing off.

The LF-A had those too, and I think some other Lexuses also do. They remind me of Frankenstein (doesn't really bother me though).
