Lexus LC500

Toyota wants to ensure that the words "Lexus" and "boring" never show up in the same sentence. The company has been in desperate need of a halo car and this sporty coupe, unveiled in fire-engine red, definitely fits the bill. The large, z-shaped front chrome grill is part of an aggressive styling that makes a dramatic statement. The side panels are sleek, low slung and dramatic, and an available sloped carbon roof gives the car a futuristic feel. It accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds. This is the type of head-turning car that epitomizes luxury and sportiness.
