I’ve NEVER been a convertible fan. The only convertible I’ve ever enjoyed is a Jeep.
I prefer the coziness and security of a hardtop.
I will say that the LC convertible was/is amazing how we didn’t get ANY wind buffeting at speed like you get with other convertibles.
My wife and I just enjoy the lines of the coupe better.

I personally love hardtop coupes instead of convertible. I do like hardtop convertible though.

I definitely agree with you on the hardtop convertible, she had a BMW Z4 and enjoyed it… I’m 6’10” and just couldn’t fit comfortably, so I got the 750i… I hated it from the start. It was extremely unsatisfying to drive.
We drove the LC in a convertible. It was incredible how the aerodynamics with the rag top eliminated any form of wind buffeting! It is the FIRST convertible I’ve ever experienced with zero wind buffeting.
I offered to buy it that day, but someone else was interested and had already decided to purchase it along with two other cars at the same time.
So… we had to wait it out until the next day, in which the dealership called us and said it had sold.
We weren’t disappointed that it sold.
Our salesperson then advised us that the exact same car in Coupe form was coming in two weeks.
We secured it, then took delivery.
Absolutely ZERO regrets!
We are waiting to pick her up tomorrow, she has been completely wrapped with LLumar Valor Hydrophobic PPF, and LLumar ceramic window tint including windshield and glass roof.
I have the exact PPF on my Jeep 392, and it is amazing!
My wife is very excited about her new ride!
I’ll post a few pics once I get her back in the Cave…
My wife has already named her “Elsie”.✌🏼😎

Your wife is one lucky woman. My wife thinks her Lexus RX handles like a dream. Try to talk her into a Tesla MYP, she said it rides likes a 20 year old truck and she wants nothing to do with it.

BTW, you wouldn't happened to play for the Hawks? Check out the i7, it should get you comfortably to the State Farm Arena

You are 6'10 and you can fit in the coupe? Dang, I am 6'4 and its tight on head room in the vert. I wouldn't think the coupe had that much more headroom.

I hear you on the X5. Had a E39 540i when I was young and naive. Fortunately someone totalled it for me and I never looked back.
Placed a reservation on a Lucid Air Pure and it doesn't look like they can delivery until somewhere in mid 2023. I may be looking at the LC500h if the Lucid can't deliver or produce poorly.

Although I already have a Lucid Air on the reservation list, I also wait to join the LC club as well. I am hoping Lucid screw up on delivery and/or build like Teslas, then that's will be a no go for me. : ) I don't want to be the odd man out driving a Lucid, gotta keep it a Lexi family : )
Just waiting for my son to get this license in early next years, then he can have my 17 ES350 by spring. Gotta observe his driving behavior in the beginning..............
