Reviews SummaryThe 2025 model year marks the beginning of the refreshed 992.2-generation Porsche 911. It brings a handful of subtle changes throughout, particularly when it comes to the face, interior, and power output. While it’s dimensionally much larger than 911s or yore, that characteristic rear-engine shape is still there as well. Verdict: Between its thrilling performance, excellent ride, great usability, and handsome looks, it’s hard to fault the latest-generation Porsche 911 Carrera. | |
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. | |
