Reviews SummaryYou do not buy a 2021 Jaguar F-Type R seeking value, quality, technological sophistication, or a way to fade into the background. Rather, you buy a 2021 Jaguar F-Type R seeking non-stop attention, astounding performance, and a mega-buck sports car of which you’ll rarely see duplicates on the road. This is the six-figure luxury performance machine to get when you don’t want to drive the same thing every other high-roller does. Especially when it's painted Sorrento Yellow, like our test car. | |
Reviews SummaryThrough the years, Lexus has often offered a range-topping coupe. Its first offering was the SC 300, which then became the SC 400. This was replaced by the SC 430 in 2000. But Lexus has never offered a coupe quite like the LC 500. It is a true flagship coupe, designed as a grand tourer. This means it has plenty of power on tap, but the focus is not singularly performance. The 2021 Lexus LC 500 is about comfortable luxurious driving. And the introduction of the convertible variant for the 2021 model year emphasizes that focus. | |
