Lexus LC 500 first-drive: Love at first sight

It made a great first impression wherever it went, whether it was roaring down Pacific Coast Highway or sitting in a crowded parking lot. Even among the tired opulence of Corona Del Mar, the Lexus LC 500 made a statement, exuding luxury and power in a package that’s fun and satisfying to drive.

Taking it down to Balboa Island in Newport Beach, Calif., where the numbers of Teslas outnumber people, the LC 500 became a celebrity, never failing to get compliments and questions. Someone if asked if they could test drive it, to which I kindly declined.

Driving through Balboa’s main drag, it effortlessly stopped pedestrians in their tracks. Part of it was the loud roar of the engine. Even at a dead stop, the LC 500 eagerly purrs, waiting to pounce on the road ahead. The car is also a stunner, plain and simple, exuding class seen from the industry’s top tier brands.
