    I already have an LC200 but i really like this body style and i think the toyota will be a keeper so i wouldnt mind having another one.

    But the rx350 looks awesome and drives better. Its just a hell of a lot smaller (seats only five so i cant use my driver if my family is with me) and this will limit me taking it out of town. Also it will depreciate a lot faster than the LC200 which is the king of slow depreciation.

    Gonna buy in october or novemeber. Originally the choice was between the rx350 and the facelifted explorer. The rx350 won. But now am having serious second thoughts. The LC200 really has a commanding presence and space which i like. Though id enjoy the toys and driving experience of the rx350 more.

    My wife likes the rx350 but am leaning now towards the lc200 (even on its ancient platform and 6000 lbs of heft).

    What do you guys think?

    i can only dream for the LC that's why i rested my sight unto the possible, the camry. go for the LC200 for the same reason you have so far advanced.

    Sell the old LC200 then get the new LC200 AND also the Lexus RX350 so you'll have a good night's sleep.

    Can't go wrong with either sir.

    The same way you see Gen1 Rav4s running around (The RX should be even better), you also see LC80s still on the road.

    The LC200 really has road presence and it will age better than the RX. So get whichever car you need at the moment... a large SUV or a crossover.

    Between the two, and almost at the same price, sa LC200 ako. Kahit yung LC150 Prado, okay na rin ako if you prefer something a little easier to drive hehe.

    a year old LC200, to me (and that's me ), isn't really old. in fact, the LC80 still looks appealing to me. with these cars, i define old as 15 years old. keep the LC200 and run with RX350

    Hmmmm. Difficult choice talaga . The rx350 f sport is much cheaper than the Lc200 in the usa and australia but same price (roughly) here. Which tells me the lc200 is a better buy for the money. Mahaba-habang internal debate ito

    Bro, maybe it's just me but I don't see the point of owning 2 LC200s, more so if one is 2014 and the other 2016 model. I would understand if the other is the LX570. I would go with what Walter said, the practical thing to do is keep the LC200 and buy the RX350. However, if you really want the facelifted LC then the next practical thing is to sell the 2014 LC200, get the 2016 LC200 and the new RX350. Since the RX350 is cheaper, it would somehow offset the total cost

    i'm wondering how much would it command in the market today a 2014 LC200?

    I'd suggest the RX350 over the LC200. Not a fan of the latter's facelift. Also, it doesn't make much sense to have 2 big SUVs. Especially as you already have a TB and Explorer as well. Time for a nimble CUV.

    But of course, if your heart beats for the LC200 more than the RX, by all means pursue your happiness.

    Kinda embarrassed to say this but: which one is more impressive and has more 'dating.' Remove all euro options as they are out. Dont really need handling anymore cause if i wanted to drive fast id choose either my jazz or mustang as my weapon.

    Yeah i know its a silly and superficial attribute but i guess thats what im looking for now hehe.

    But you guys make a lot of sense. Just that im not being sensible so much anymore LOL.

    Bro, sa dami ng LC200 ngayon (outsells cars 1/4 its price), it's not a headturner anymore.

    The RX350 is still more unique, more eyecatching, and the Lexus name has significantly more equity now compared to a few years back.

    And if you ever want to have that big boss/politician image, you still have your 2014 LC200.

    ^ Ditto.

    But to get best of both worlds, sell the LC200 and get the LX570. It just reeks wealth. Heck, even Sheiks in Arab countries prefer the LX570.

    i cant afford the LX570 hehehe. Though i wish i could! that thing is super bad *ss.

    seems like the LC200 will be replaced in 2017 with an all-new model. In this case, maybe getting the smaller Lexus which is all-new for 2016 (end 2015 release) may be the right thing to do after all.
