It was a very nice car, but not the performance I was looking for and ultimately I ended up with the M550i. No real comparison, but just to point out I was tempted to go Lexus based on the experience with the brand and the overall build quality and features. May if I'd driven the Lexus V8, I'd be driving that today???

Not necessarily. I'm also a Toyota/Lexus fan when it comes to DD's, but the performance gap compared to your M550i would be HUGE. I found that aspect of the LC500 a little underwhelming if I'm honest, it's gorgeous but no faster than my E92 M3. At that price point, I'd want that, but I do understand that seeing an NAV8 in this day and age is special.
I wonder how they'll price this IS500. If it's in the 50s, that might be one hell of a bargain for what you're getting.
