In the summer of 1980, at age of 17, I raced my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner at Great Lakes, and my buddy Brad raced his 1969 440 Dodge SuperBee. We ran low 13's mostly, both of us had 4 speed cars, it was more fun than serious. Broadway Bob was a riot, always had a beer in his hand. Brought us free Pepsi's in the pit when it was about 110 degrees one Saturday in July. Thanks for the memories, Rock on Broadway Bob, RIP

Here's the things you are missing. This isn't a sports car and it isn't meant to be driven by somebody horsing around thinking he's a race car driver. This car does EVERYTHING WELL for driving on the public roads by people who have no desire to get into an accident or injure anyone by being stupid. Racing is done on racetracks. If you want to go racing, buy a race car and go as fast as you like. As for "Aston-Martin", that's an insult to this car. Owning an LC500 is all about making it past the repair shop and driving trouble free for a very long time. Those "other" cars may be faster, but you will pay big bucks because they are unreliable. So, why not be a grown up and discuss the facts that I've laid out? As for the trackpad, only dunderheads who haven't read the OWNER'S MANUAL complain about them because those of us who have read the OWNER'S MANUAL use VOICE COMMAND. In my almost five years of owning my InfraRed/Toasted Caramel 2018, I've used the trackpad at most ten times. Why would you even want to use it when talking is so much easier...AND SAFER? If I want to warm my seat I press a button and say "SHOW THE FRONT SEAT HEATER SCREEN". No muss. No fuss. I can call my wife, text a client, find a pizza joint I Iike, get directions to anywhere, change the radio station, listen to any song by any artist, make the car warmer or cooler and so much more...all without taking my eyes off the road. But then again, I read the OWNER'S MANUAL like an adult. The LC 500 is the closest thing to a PERFECT CAR for the public roads in production today. For idiot wannabe race car drivers who don't give a crap if they lose control and crash into some family of four going to visit grandma, there are faster cars. I would hope your next review is a bit more professional than this one. Read the OWNER'S MANUAL and tell your audience about the unique features of the car because only kids are interested in how many milliseconds it takes to shift from third to fourth gear. The LC 500 is loaded with more performance than anyone needs and it will never leave you stranded in the rain at 2 a.m. by the side of the road because some cheaply made electronic relay broke. It is without a doubt the finest GT car in production today.

It's still a good city car esp. in heavy congestions. Probably not recommended for long trips. At idle, you'll simply waste a lot of fuel in ANY ICEs! You can't say the same for EVs. I use my MG ZS EVs for multiple short trips even on short highway trips, only to find out that EVs are actually very good for short commutes with short to mid trips on motorways.
