Reviews SummaryNissan’s hottest model returns for 2021 breathing fire, burning asphalt, and soothing souls. The 2021 Nissan GT-R Premium not only romps, but it also cruises. Capable of blistering acceleration and awe-inspiring cornering, the GT-R can also be calm, composed, and actually comfortable—not descriptors that would have been applied to earlier generations of the car nicknamed "Godzilla." | |
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. | |
