One all-new product we've been eager to see is the all-new Lexus LC500. You may know this as the LF-LC Concept that rocked our world when it first came out.

According to the latest reports, the production model will use the RC F and GS F's 5.0-liter V8 motor, churn out approximately 500 horsepower and feature the world's first 10-speed automatic transmission. And you thought eight- and nine-speed gearboxes were enough? In addition to the beefy variant there's also a rumored LC500h on the way that will make use of a 3.5-liter V6 and a hybrid system.
All I know is that now I definitely have a handful of things to look forward to when I land in The Motor City.
