Lexus LC Considered Better than an Audi & Maserati by Irish Times

Lexus LC 500h

Lexus LC given top marks for its style, design, and performance.

The Irish Times recently picked the Lexus LC as the best on the road in both style and substance. The Lexus LC was chosen over some pretty impressive competitors, such as Aston Martin, Audi, and Maserati, with the newspaper concluding that the Lexus LC is the best buy, and best-looking, providing riders with more bang for the buck.

“The Lexus LC coupe tops another class, thanks to just being unspeakably gorgeous,” writes The Irish Times. “Lexus has been threatening to break through on the style front ever since it adopted the striking ‘spindle grille’ but while some efforts have been a bit over-styled, the LC just looks shockingly gorgeous.”

The paper also pointed out some innovations that truly make the LC the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. “This is a Japanese-designed Lexus that would have Sergio Scaglietti wringing his hands with jealousy, and shoving the plans for another mid-sixties Ferrari design angrily off the desk.” Wow.

They also cite the little strokes of brilliance that make the Lexus LC so amazing. “The way the inside door handles just emerge from the doors, without any of the usual plastic surrounds is just lovely.” Not surprisingly, the LC 500h was chosen as the best model overall. We raise a pint of Guinness to you!
