Default LC 500 named takes takes honors in Texas

The Texas Auto Writers Association just named the LC 500 the 2018 Car of Texas award. That's no small feat, given the competition it was up against. And the LS 500 didn't do too bad either! Check out the full report here! That has to make a lot of the brass happy, even if this car has hardly been flying under the radar, accolades wise...

Wonder if it had anything to do with Lexus USA moving its Headquarters from California to Texas? Don’t get me wrong, the LC500 as well as the LS500 cars are certainly thoughtfully engineered, beautifully designed, and have great reliability. I would be pleased to own either or both. But it wouldn’t be the first time where something like this has occurred.

Yes, I know, I’m too cynical. Comes from too many feigned humans and sham awards.

I didn't even think about that — but it's an interesting point, for sure.
