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 SummaryThe car we’re discussing in this review is the Lexus RC F, a sports car based on a luxury coupe. The Lexus RC is so-named as an acronym for “Radical Coupe.” And while it may not be so revolutionary nearly 10 years after its introduction, that doesn’t mean it isn’t compelling. Verdict: The Lexus RC F is an oldie but a goodie. The Lexus RC F Track Edition, which we drove for this review, goes much further. It’s focused and purposeful, and for the buyer whose priorities align with its mission, it’s hard to fault. | |
