Lexus LC 500 Convertible

The Lexus LC500 Convertible is a dreamy sports car that exudes all out fun. It takes a daring soul to scoot around town in such a scene stealer. Since this convertible is already over the top, why not rock it on a winter day and shock the streets?

How it looks when you see on the street: Peer closely at its form — large rear haunches for wheels draw the eye inward to the slope of the door and give it a playful element.

How it makes you feel when you get in: Hello, getaway car. A year that’s been light on adventure is forgotten when entering the LC500, which literally feels like a trip to an amusement park.

How it drives: Its swank on the interstate and though its plenty of sports car, it’s not intended to break performance records. I’d call it thrill light.

Space for people and things: The 3.4-cubic-feet of luggage space doesn’t leave much room for cargo, a compromise that most convertible owners make.

Best Features: The cool 15 seconds it takes to drop the cloth top roof.

What makes it stand out: It’s hard not to smile when this thing comes down the street, and may even justify a loud, vibrant color choice.

What should you compare it to: Jaguar F-Type Convertible.

How much does it cost: Its an expensive toy that starts at $101,100.
