A wonderful and underated car

I've had the opportunity to drive an LC500 a few times and I have to say it's one amazing car.
My benchmark for comparisons is often a Porsche given how well they do most things, but the engine sound in the LC is better than a standard 911 (of 718 for that matter), the shifts are just as quick as the PDK, and the ride and handling are sublime. I actually even think the trunk is pretty decently sized in comparison to other sports cars (though maybe not in comparison to other GT touring cars).
There are not many LC500's on the roads so seeing one is an uncommon sight (unlike the 911 which is everywhere), so it's truly a connoisseurs car. The only drawback I've experienced with it is the infotainment system is awful (as is typical of many Lexus), though I've read that even that has been updated in the latest model.
A truly excellent car that I hope you enjoy for many, many miles.
