If Lexus wanted to convince us that it was neither boring nor unimaginative, the 2018 LC 500 is the car to do it. Born of a melodramatic concept, translated with painstaking care to mass production, and tasked with changing decades of preconceptions at a price that’s reasonably affordable, it’s no surprise that the LC doesn’t quite hit every note. Still, the delta between what this V8 GT promises and what it delivers is impressive.
