2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series: Daaaaaamn
|
The Hooniverse staff (squad?…crew?) are privileged to get access to some pretty impressive machines, but occasionally one of them just feels legitimately special. Even in standard trim, the Lexus LC 500 convertible is one of those cars. Jeff got a chance to test it out it last month, and I just had a go in…

Lexus LC 500 – The conceptual grand tourer, made real
|
Have you ever driven a concept car? That’s what it feels like I’m doing behind the wheel of the Lexus LC 500. Everyone stares. Everyone points. Everyone soaks it in. Then I downshift, mat the throttle, and the 5.0-liter V8 creates a sonic thrill. A total of 471 horsepower is released along with furious noise…

2021 Lexus LC500 Convertible – First Drive Review
|
The 2021 Lexus LC500 Convertible is a drop-top work of art. Sure, we prefer the coupe version because it’s nice having a roof over one’s head, but it’s hard to argue with the NOISE the Convertible lets in. That noise comes courtesy of a 471-horsepower 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. And it helps push both…

2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV Quick Review: Big, bad, overkill
|
GM seems to be all-in on off-roader pickups these days. Its Colorado ZR2 trim spilled over to the Silverado ZR2, then to the 2500HD models, and over to GMC’s Canyon and Sierra trucks. But it’s getting to be absolute overkill: GM’s flagship off-road-focused pickup truck, the 2024 Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV, has a hood that…

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Review
|
Even before the 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat had pulled up into my driveway, a Dodge product communications representative had sent me an email with a cheerful reminder that “with great power comes great responsibility.” That power, of course, is the Hellcat’s 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, and the responsibility, I assumed, was…

2021 Lexus LS 500 | Review
|
There’s something to be said for having, or at least aspiring to have, “the best” of anything. Edward Lewis (played by Richard Gere) in the movie Pretty Woman was asked “why do you have the penthouse if you’re scared of heights”. He astutely responded, “because it’s the best”. Aside from the achingly pretty LC500 coupe…
