Lexus LC500 Wins 2018 AutoGuide.com Reader's Choice Luxury Car of the Year Award
Luxury sedans have typically claimed the AutoGuide.com Reader’s Choice Luxury Car of the Year Award, but things are different this year.
The beautiful bodylines of the Lexus LC500 was too hard to overlook for our readers this year, who selected the coupe as their Luxury Car of the Year. And we won’t even try to argue with our readers on this one, considering the LC500 has the performance to go along with its stunning good looks. Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8 engine that is also found in the GS F and RC F models, delivering 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. All that is wrapped up in a familiar Lexus package inside the cabin, with plenty of luxury pouring out of every corner.
