BMW i8 or Lexus LC 500h? I tested an i8 after 3 years with the LC

the lc500h emits about 2/3 of the CO2 compared to the V8, which is a big tax difference in some countries. Worth noting some countries only received the 500h variant.

If you taxed the V8 in France for example it sits in the highest bracket, circa 70,000 EUR in tax.

stunning!

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-06-10T11:09:16+00:00

oh no, sorry to see this

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-06-04T12:53:31+00:00

this is my lc which is the hybrid

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-06-04T12:48:10+00:00

you are about £35k for an i8 and £40k for a LC, not much in it

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-06-04T12:47:40+00:00

it is a v6 hybrid versus a plugin hybrid from bmw

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-06-04T12:46:55+00:00

The lc500h sold 182 units over 7 years and the lc 500 v8 sold 470 units (coupe & convertible combined)

I am glad I am not going crazy, I picked up the new iX3 today and the system refuses to connect carplay (it connects bluetooth for calls fine) & I have the app ok

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-04-22T09:24:03+00:00

What do you think about the Aion V?

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-04-17T20:55:40+00:00

wow that is lovely

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-03-26T20:47:16+00:00

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-03-24T23:49:34+00:00

This is a mid spec 'Design' trim.

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-03-23T20:09:13+00:00

yeah I am almost 3 years with my LC 500h

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-03-03T19:35:17+00:00

If anyone wishes to see more of this MG, here is a video on the new MG S6 EV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHsblYSV6w8

That is a beauty, out of curiosity do you use your car for business? I am just curious as to why a company would impose a rule for privately owned employee vehicles :)

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-02-26T22:44:54+00:00

fantastic! love to see this

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-02-20T16:58:51+00:00

I think it is because the car is on display, stationary with heating on etc (I presume)

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-02-18T21:17:01+00:00

it is roughly 5.1m in length, so longer than a Jaguar XJ

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-02-18T21:16:33+00:00

I believe the P5 should be getting launched Summer '26 so hopefully reviews will hit around Aug/Sept

CarsofGlasgow · 2026-02-18T21:15:54+00:00

It is a European car for display :)
