Lexus LC 500 Named Luxury Performance Vehicle of Texas

When you have to make a statement about what a luxury car is supposed to be, listen to the experts.

At a recent event at the Texas Motor Speedway, the journalist members of the Texas Auto Writers Association sampled several of the latest vehicles around, including some of the most luxurious models around. In the end, one car rose to the top of their list — the 2021 Lexus LC coupe and convertible.

Simply put, TAWA named the Lexus LC their Luxury Performance Vehicle of Texas and their Luxury Car of Texas over $65,000.

TAWA is a Texas-based nonprofit association for automotive journalists promoting professionalism and quality in journalism for more than two decades. TAWA has grown to become one of the most influential and recognized automotive journalist associates in the U.S. The group produces two annual events – Texas Auto Roundup and Texas Truck Rodeo – that allow members to experience vehicles from various manufacturers in one place, at one time.

This year’s Texas Auto Roundup brought together 40 journalists to evaluate 35 vehicles at this event held at the Texas Motor Speedway. Vehicles from the world’s top manufacturers were put to the test on this professional track and evaluated on interior, exterior, value, performance and personal appeal.

You can see why they picked the Lexus LC 500 as their Luxury Performance Vehicle of Texas. It is nothing short of amazing. The craftsmanship of both the coupe and convertible are both distinctive and beyond your expectations. It is also athletically quick – clocked at 4.4 seconds from 0-60 MPH. Plus, there is the glorious sound of the exhaust coming from a 471 horsepower naturally-aspirated V8.

Having the highest level of luxury, design execution, and craftsmanship, the TAWA journalists also gave the LC 500 their Best Interior, Best Exterior and Highest Personal Appeal awards.

Also, the Lexus IS 350 F Sport was recognized by TAWA members for Best Value in the performance sedan category. These journalists gave Lexus a total of five awards from their Texas Auto Roundup event.
