TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2018 Lexus LC

2018 Lexus LC Available Features: Cons
YearComment
Want a convertible, a manual transmission, AWD, or a second set of doors? You can get these with competitors, but not with the Lexus LC. If what you want is a rear-wheel-drive coupe with an automatic transmission, then this isn't a problem. But you still might wish for more adjustable seats. see full Lexus LC review
