I agree about the Enkeis..both the silver from 2022 and the dark gray for 2023. In auto mode, the transmission definitely could do for a mapping update, but I mitigate those issues by driving it in Sport+ and Manual about 98% of the time. Swap out the Bridgestones for the Michelin PS4S tires and the performance is night and day! Incidentally, installed my 2nd pair of PS4S' yesterday. Love those things. 🙂 Thanks for posting!
As an owner of a 2022 IS500 Launch Edition I can say you've noted many similar observations to other reviewers and are definitely on the mark. One overlooked element is the questionable interior materials used in some areas. The terribly cheap plastics along the door cards and dash scuff and scratch wayyy too easily. That said, 2 years into ownership and there are zero squeaks and rattles so it's definitely Lexus quiet. This lets you hear that marvelous V8 engine and sublime Mark Levinson audio.
The price of this car in the used market is actually going up. Which kinda make sense as we are seeing less and less v8

I have a 2023 IS 500 Performance. Turn signals still drive me crazy. 2024 I believe could be the end of the V8 for this model. I don’t think this car will depreciate as much as you mentioned. Everything else you said I agree with.
This would have slightly more room than the LC but not a ton more. I really enjoyed both vehicles but the LC Convertible offers an experience that is like no other.
CC is actually reviewing a 2023 model, not a 2024. Viewers need to be aware of the misrepresentation. The 2024 IS500 gets a new Special Appearance package with an eye-catching Blue Vector exterior, blue contrast stitching on the black faux leather interior, matte black 19-inch split-spoke wheels, and a SmartAccess card key. Incognito is a new exterior color for 2024.
On the key fob, press the lock button twice and on the third press of the lock button, hold the lock button down. That should start the car.
Awesome! Thanks for the information. I will have to try that when I get another Toyota or Lexus product.

Very nice! I love PS4S's myself and will be my go to daily summer tire recommendation until the successor arrives. Thanks for watching!

My Lexus dealer actually replaced my scuffed up dashboard after six months of ownership at his cost of $2700. Now I don’t even touch the darn thing

Where do they have the bamboo wood trim on the 2024 Premium model. Thanks ! Great video 👍🏻🙌
I like the BBS wheels. They look like tuning forks which is a nod towards Yamaha who helped develop the 2ur engine.
I got an LC, but my kiddos complain about no room, should i get one of these ?

I own both... the IS500 has much more room than the LC500. IMO, the IS also performs better. The LC feels more special though
this is not even a 2024 model…
There’s no difference between the 2023 and 2024
@@LU_JUST yes i am aware. i don’t know why the UA-camr had to lie and say it was a 2024 model though.
ohh u right sorry didnt see the title@@henryscreations
2024 does not offer Grecian Water. This is 2023 model. He should have done enough research before presenting.
@@lingtse6765 yeah the UA-camr is definitely a moron for not doing their research properly.
👎🏻 This is not the 2024 model.
2024 has all black mirrors (chrome section replaced with black chrome)
