I need to drive one and see how it feels. 4400 lbs and 390whp is going to feel ALOT slower than a F80 M3. hopefully the ride quality and steering can make up for it. The car looks great imo. i'd like to pick one up in a year or so when they are in the 50s

I honestly don't think you'll like it. It's definitely super well built and just an interesting car in general, but the ride quality wasn't Rolls Royce or anything, although I do hear the 2021s were softened up. The LC500 couldn't keep up with my catless E92 M3 with a 6MT, but sounds good stock for stock. Transmission is a 10AT, and it definitely was not as good as an 8ZF.
It is stunning in person though, I was surprised how much I liked the silver/red the dealership had over the red/black.
Honestly, it'll feel that much slower if you're used to a GT3 and F80. This makes more sense as your Civic replacement
