The LC is definitely the best overall package, but it comes in a variety of configurations. There is the standard coupe, a hybrid model with slightly less power but improved fuel economy, and a drop-top convertible for those who like the wind in their hair. While the car is fast, it also weighs a lot, which means it isn't the most engaging sports car to drive. Nevertheless, it is extremely comfortable and easy to live with.
