Reviews SummaryThe Porsche 911 has been the go-to sports car for over 50 years, and for good reason. Its focus on performance has incrementally improved every aspect of this small coupe over the generations. At the same time, that performance is easily approachable and doesn’t get in the way of everyday drivability. | |
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. | |
