The 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible is the flagship of the Lexus lineup. Because it is rare, I was constantly stopped by neighbors admiring the beautiful car. No denying it is beautiful. Even though it is not a folding hardtop (and Lexus engineers have the capability to make that happen), the LC 500 Convertible’s soft-top design allowed engineers to focus on accentuating the Read more
