Tested: 2021 Lexus LC500 Convertible Puts a Price Tag on Maturity — Car and Driver

Lexus's droptop LC500 indulges with the things that make you go "ahh."

Another point towards LC F still being a true possibility:

TOYOTA NEWS #118｜Untold Story of One-Year Delayed Yaris Launch (toyotatimes.jp)

Apparently, new Yaris was delayed by one year, and this delay allow it to be launched with the new 1.5L Hybrid Engine between others Toyota firsts. Other problems were price and weight.

Maybe LC F has been delayed to make "ever better cars"?

Lexus LC500 2023 review | Evo

Charismatic, distinctive and above all fun to drive – the LC500 is a triumph that shows up more expensive and extroverted rivals

So while the LC is not perfect, the car industry is a better place for its existence. If you’ve not already guessed, we rather like the Lexus LC, and aside from one or two caveats, think it is a truly spectacular road car.

Wow, 4.5 out of 5. Might be the highest score since the LFA. High praise in the U.K.

The Lexus LC500 Convertible Is the GT Car at Its Best

In a class of large, subdued, turbocharged German V-8 supercoupes, the striking LC500 Convertible stands out.

But drop the top, step back, and marvel. This is the rare coupe that’s improved by losing its roof, looking more like the car Lexus intended. In a class of large, subdued, turbocharged German V-8 supercoupes, the LC 500 stands out. Once you figure out how to put that top down.

The 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Is An Instant Classic

The Lexus LC500 is giving the other $100,000 GT coupes and convertibles a run for their money.

Turbos, hybrids and full-electrification are the go-to power methods in 2021 and will be, increasingly so, in the future. You can’t fault manufacturers for leaning on those methods. They all reliably produce power but not at the cost of efficiency and lower emissions. So when Lexus released the ultra-modern-looking LC 500 and fitted it with a classic-style V8, there’s a sense this is the last time we’ll see a car of this caliber. It’s as if the only reason Lexus gave the LC 500 a 5.0-liter V8 is that this was the last chance it could. What you’re looking at is an instant classic, bound to be a headlining at car auctions in the not-too-distant future.

I compared my 2019 to the 2021 Inspiration Series. I’m so in love I’m contemplating switching....


2021 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series vs my 2019 LC 500!!

Lexus is on a roll lately!

All these newer variants (RC F, LCC, LS, IS) are getting only positive reviews everywhere!
Hope this continues not only with the 2NX introduction but also UX/ES facelifts as they're truly important for the brand.

Anyone else seen this Michelin ad for the Pilot Sport range on Youtube? They used the LC as the "model" for the tires.
