- In This video We'll check out one of the Best Modern Lexus Models ever made! This is a model so good that Lexus doesn't seem to be interested in updating quickly.
It's common for Toyota and Lexus models to get an update or refresh every 3 years however some models are immune to that simply because they're the best of the best that Lexus has to offer. We have the Lexus LX, The Lexus GX and at some point the Lexus LS.
In my opinion the Lexus LC500 is one of those models that are joining that club of the best of the best. Virtually unchanged since 2018 and still comes with a CD Player and a Non touch screen in 2023!
In this video we take a look at why the Lexus LC500 is one of the greatest Lexus models ever made as it continues unchanged for the 2023 model year.

Somebody has to gift this guy one of those cars. If I had the money I would. He deserves it for all the advice he shares. Hope he has somewhere to park it.
Absolutely
Our views will pay for plenty of these the way this channel is going.
@@HandSolitude3 years from now he will be able to afford one. But he will end up with a land cruiser for sure
He probably owns 3.... lol
He has plenty of money
That strut tower brace is an engineering work of art by itself. One piece machined aluminum, holy crap...
I though the same 👍🏼
The ONLY car journo who actually knows cars. I really appreciate a reviewer who spends this much time under the hood deciphering the code of how an engine performs. Well done, sir. As usual.
He’s good, but there are others out there that are good too. Also he was wrong that the LC500 is built for the track. This is my favorite car, but it’s a luxury GT car, not a sports car and not at all designed or intended for the track. It’s too big, it’s too heavy, it’s too slow, it has very poor low-end torque, the suspension is too soft, the brakes aren’t built for sustained heavy breaking, the lack of a dual-clutch transmission makes it slow to shift, the big engine upfront causes considerable understeer. If you track it, you’ll be very disappointed.
@@SignalCorps1it’s definitely a sports car as well as a GT car. But clearly wasn’t intended to be a track vehicle by any means
@@KingMatt1 ok, I’ll concede it’s a marginal sports car, but primarily designed to be an elite GT
These are absolutely gorgeous cars, and incredible quality. The sound it makes when you get on it is fantastic too.
YES YES YES
I have the 2023 coupe. It’s truly proof of Lexus’s “relentless pursuit of perfection!” The quality is unbelievable and the design is jaw dropping. Thank you for letting me learn so much more interesting things about the car.
I own a 2021 in infra-red with tan top and Toasted Caramel int. Best car I have ever owned! Built like a tank and a work of art inside and out. Great video!! Thanks!!
Great colors for that car.
You’re a lucky man
What model do you own?
It’s also the weight of a tank and slower 0-60 than even a BMW M340i 😂
@@babycakes8434 the only model in this video that can come with a tan top (convertible), lol
my dream car since it was unveiled. just gorgeous! the vent in the head rest is an air scarf, keeps your neck/head warm when the top is down.
Ala Mercedes
@@ianmuir3640 😊😊k

Keeps your neck warm when the top is down?
Mercedes is trash
I am looking to buy a used Lexus RX 350 2010-2013 because of financial limitations. So I ran across your videos and I just need to say how much I admire your passion and expertise. Your explanations are clear and crisp and even the video editing etc. is so clean and professional (as is your shop). It gives me pleasure to know there are teachers like you on the internet - so many of them seem so confusing or amateurish. Thank-you, sir - Respect.
My folks have a 2012 RX350 and absolutely love it. They could buy a new car, but have no interest in changing vehicles.
I am doing the same on the RX.
Great video. I watched the video from beginning to end. I've never seen someone talk about a vehicle with so much passion. Bravo.
I used to be a die hard BMW fanboy, I got really sick of engines blowing on me and having expensive paper weights, my last few vehicles have been lexus/toyota and I've been so happy with them. I have an is500 on order right now, I plan on keeping it for a long time, I love that with proper maintenance and the amount of miles I plan on putting on it, it should last longer than me.
I used to be very similar as you were with Mercedes Benz, until it started breaking down on me, it was more times I care to count on the mechanic’s shop.
After I switched to Lexus in 2012 I have never considered any other brand.
Amen brother
Smart man as someone poor 😂 I learn I can’t be changing cars all the time so with simple experience I’ve come to learn and see that Toyota was the best way to go if you can’t afford maintenance all the time 😅
@@AFMMarcelD I thought Mercedes engines were among the most reliable. Did you have major mechanical problems or electrical and sensor issues?
@@clockhanded I had 4 mechanical issues sporadically through the years, (one of those left me stranded in the freeway) compounded with one big transmission problem, also the water pump broke out twice in 12 years of ownership, it wasn’t a cheap fix @ the mechanic.
Glad I got rid of it, no more germans for me.
Before the Benz I also had a Beamer that was another expensive pain in my gluteus maximus, Awww Germans! can live with them, can’t live without…just like women.
Simply gorgeous! Great work describing it! Keep up the good work! It will pay off!
i purchased one of these in 2020 simply because i wanted to own a coupe and i am a lexus fanboy. I never test drive any cars that i have purchase. I believe it takes you months to really know if your gonna like the way a car drives or not. I hated the ride home on it i found it to floaty, but after some months driving it gingerly and about 1000 miles later i started to appreciate it. It quite simply is the best car you can buy for the money.
100K is alot to money to many and if that is the case get yourself a used one. Words really can’t describe the way this vehicle makes you feel it has to be driven for awhile for it to make sense.
This is quite simply pound for pound dollar for dollar the very best car in the world.
I absolutely love that it has a CD player, and that Ahmed points it out TWICE! in only the 1st minute! That's gold right there. And no touch screen..just love it. That colour combo is especially classy also. Ah well.. this beautiful car is beyond my financial means unless I were to sell my house..in which case maybe I could park this beauty in the back of a new toy hauler.
One can dream.🙏
LOL The 1st gen NSX had a cassette tape player for the longest time while pushing the car to $100,000 and above.
Beautifully executed content, thank you so very much !
beautiful LC and excellent video for details as always. I hope LFA will be in TCCN video in one day!
One of the most gorgeous cars made in my opinion. The LC and SC interiors are just as impressive.
The Sound of #Sweetness, I Love it, played that part over quite a few times . 3:36 🔊🔊🔊

Man , I had an old 90s sc when they were cheap and no one wanted them. Even with high milliage , got it around 180,000 km , sold it when it reach 320,000. Thing was bullet proof, bad city gas milliage but very good highway miliage.
I'm in serach for an 90s jdm car for nostalgic feeling, but all those iconic 90s jdm are just way over price for what it is.
The SC was going for 15 k for an good condition .
It's just a weird thing to see alot of 90s early 2000 jdm on the road when they were around, to wondering where they all went too. It's like seeing a unicorn when u do see one.
@@jimmylee2745 I also own a 1998 silver over black SC400 with 45,000 miles on the clock. It is perfect. Love that car. They were SO overengineered.
@@243wayne1wonderful! I drive a 92 SC400 with 120,000 miles. Owned it for 8 months now, it’s absolutely perfect
@@jimmylee2745hey Jimmy-still looking for an SC? I’ve got my 92 SC400 on sale. Calgary Alberta!
Thank you for making such an informative and captivating video with a great presentation style. The LC is a work of art, but you made me really appreciate the depth of engineering that has gone into the bits that we can't see.
My personal dream car! Awesome video, great work.
Thanks for all your videos!
Very entertaining
Saw this In person when it was at the shop….breathtakingly beautiful vehicle. The seat leather looked absolutely amazing
Love anything Lexus related!!! Big Lexus lover!! I see Lexus and im hooked!!! Great video and everything you do on this channel!!! Lexus fam!!!🫶
Your review is on a whole different level. You bring a wealth of information on various levels. After listening to you, test driving the car is all that is needed.
you really highlighted some cool, thoughtful details that I haven't seen mentioned in any other LC videos. makes me want this car even more!
This was a beautiful presentation. Really enjoy it and love your channel.
I absolutely love your passion to detail! I’m so excited to say I just bought a 22 inspiration LC…and it’s blowing my mind! It’s videos like this that helped me compile the knowledge about this fantastic automobile to find the right one! Thank you
One of the best channels on You Tube, keep it up
Thank you so much for the great overview of this car!
Love your channel, thanks for this one!!
You did an awesome job at educating and showing us non-mechanics all the superb dressing and engineering of our 6 figure Lexus. Congrats!
Excellent video about you and this awesome car.👍
Excellent video. Very informative and you're a great speaker.
Hello Fellow Toyota/Lexus Car Care Nut, this was one of the best, most entertaining videos I've ever seen. I am a Retired Lexus Field Product Engineer and attended Lexus Technical Training on this Vehicle when it was Launched. I found myself smiling and laughing at your "Right on the money" comments regarding this machine... most of which I remember thinking to myself throughout the Technical Training sessions at the Area Office. All I can say is: Very, Very Cool, and thanks for being a Toyota Lexus Car Nut like me!
I really enjoyed your review and especially your honesty in pointing out things that may be of inconvenience to users. If and I say If I could afford one, it would have to be the coupe as I do not like convertibles. I love the green with the orche interior.
Thanks! Bought the 22 Red on Red LC500 convertable. Just a dream to drive and the looks are out of this world.
You did a great job with this review!
Your videos are threapeutic! Just listening to you is calming and makes me feel good! Thanks man for all your efforts and your passion toward the automotive insdustry!
My 2002 Lexus ES300 is amazing. The (02-06) generation is the best ES Gen. Quality and fit and finish is unparalleled. Not one squeak or rattle anywhere. Everything still works. I have 173k miles, I’m the second owner. New struts installed last summer. Rides like new, rear end is sitting up high like it was when it was new. Bought it in April 2021 soon after had to replace the OEM alternator and AC compressor (started squealing). Earlier this year I had to replace the original starter. These parts lasted 20 years! A true testament to the build quality and reliability of the original parts ! All parts except struts were replaced with GENCO
I’ll keep this one for 10+ years!!
Very nice! I think I'm 90% sure my next car will be a Lexus. Did you replace the struts because you needed to? The reason I asked is because on all of the previous Toyota Camrys I've owned never needed struts even with over 300K miles.
@@411sponge72 yes, both rear ones started leaking after I bought it in April 2021 with 160k miles. I had all 4 replaced with one notch below OEM. This is very unlikely for a Toyota and Lexus but the only thing I can think of the original owner used to put a lot of weight in the trunk.
My dad's 2013 rx that he bought brand new has 300k + kilometers and is still running strong. Only regular maintenance and consumables replaced (battery, etc...)
@@RayanMADAO nice 👍
I would argue that the 2007-2012 is the best ES model. It's a better car in every way, no comparison, faster, smoother, quieter, and just as reliable. After 2012 is when I think the reliability faulters. Still bulletproof cars, but 2007-2012 was the golden era IMO
I ve seen this video 3 times already i m going to get some snacks and a cold beer and going to watch it ones more! Simply a great video thx AMD!
Wow that is a beautiful car! Thanks for the rundown. Never knew anything about it.
Outstanding review. Very detailed. Well done!
just not enough coverage of this niche legend. Love the in depth break down of what makes this car special. Not many other reviewers talk about the nity grity. Love this, and we're all hyped for what Lexus is coming with next.
I'd definitely watch a deep dive little known facts type video for each L model for sure! Awesome content for the best car maker in history.
My dream car😊After seeing this video,and the attention to details. I even want it more👍Great video,and keep up the good work 😉
Great in depth walkthrough review! Very different and more informative than other videos I’ve seen
one of the first times I saw this on the street, you knew this was going to be a classic. It is beautiful.
Love these Lexus and other brand reviews.
I truly enjoyed your feature on this car. Thanks a million.
LOVED this video sir. You are very knowledgeable and may work on my Lexus vehicles ANY time. Your shop is surgically clean as well. Bravo!
My dream car. Thanks for this very detailed review.
I falled in love with this beautiful car, good video habebe!
Excellent review 👍
Great video bro👍🏽I really appreciate you explaining the car like this🔥
" this is raw, pure power with proper engineering " with GREAT looks as extra bonus. Thank you for in depth presenting this great car
Beautiful! I think I want one!
Excellent review. Massive thanks
Thank you. That was a very thorough and detailed review with many things that other reviewers did not mention. I want one.
The depth of the paint is amazing hardly any orange peel !
THE SWEETEST words I'd like to hear when describing a car: Direct and Port Injection! Thank you very much CN!
Great video, you just made me more interested with LC500 💯🏆
Very comprehensive. Loved it. Good job.
Very nice. Love those rims.
A review made from heart.
Such a beautiful machine. Classy and refined.
Much respect.
I’ve watched so many of your videos since I subscribed. Great review of this, I didn’t know anything about them. Like the parking garage guys in Ferris Bueller, maybe you should start test driving these for your videos 😂🎉
Lovely review! Would like to drive one.
Great review! THAT is a gorgeous car. And it’s green to boot. I’m in love!
The man's enthusiasm for the product is so good. You're hooked on listening to him.
@@lesevesel2898 and it’s not a put on. Meet him in person, and he is just that dedicated to great cars and keeping them going.
Green cars are difficult to resell, which is great for you, if you plan to buy a used one. I don’t like all green cars, but this one looks very nice
I like the way you introduced and explained every detail , buddy !
Nice job, I really enjoy your channel brother
I already loved the LC500 but after watching the CCN show us one I really really want one now!!!
Me too!
TY TY TY, what a total delight to see this car, as you said time and again the attention too detail is over the top in this Lexus. I am in the same position as you AMD, if I only had the money I would love to have one of these as a daily driver. I am sure that when this was designed they were told just make the absolute best sports car you can and don't spare anything.
TY my friend this was a wonderful adventure into luxury without limits.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤

Really impressive walk-through of this gem. Bravo. 🙌
Thanks for the video mate. The LC500 is art on wheels.
Saw one of these the other day. Super nice looking car
16:34 WOW 😳 i had no clue that was there. That is neat. I wish they would have done it on the outside. Ive never seen the logo engraved in a wheel. And its on the inside! Thats really neat on many levels.
What a great video!!!
If I could say, this is the best LC500 video I have come across. Thank you.
The car, a true work of art.
The day I own one of these, would be the best of days for me on this planet.
That is the most thorough mechanical review of the LC 500 that I have ever seen. Keep up your excellent work with your videos and your shop and you will be able to afford a LC 500 one day.
Impressive car...impressive review !
31:14 YUP its nice to clean and moisturize all that. It makes the cabin smell like this leather store. Its to die for. And yes its all leather. Even the ends of the dash, around the door card hugging the metal. Its insane. And good luck getting all the leather cleaned and moisture up near the glass. Its a struggle i love having.
Very professional. Thx
Tks to this channel I purchased an es350. Love my car and the peace of mind. Ty
I am glad you finally have one to look over, best choice of any Lexus.
I would dissagree with the 10 speed being clunky under normal driving, I have driven a 2019 and 2020 both were smooth and acted perfect under normal driving condiotions.
Beautiful car, I even like the green paint. I have a 2020 GX and it might be a little dated, but it's bullet proof.
Hi Amd. Thank's for showing us this magnificent vehicle.
I agree with you totally. This is just pure beauty and art of engineering. And I love your passion for going through every single detail. Reviews like no others. Kinda got bored of other reviews commenting "yeah, spece here, drives well".
Actually I have the cash to buy t.his LC tomorrow. But, I love my Celica GT too much. I just can not let her go after 22 years and so many memories together. That car is a part of my soul.
Right everyone sleeps on Celicas especially the last 3 generations, they were all built in the same factory as most Lexus and handle so nicely
1:05 That's a nice 5th gen ES350! You should do a video on it sometime, it's truly a solid car that so softly sprung without having to deal with air suspension, and just the right amount of luxury in the interior to help you really enjoy driving it, a true highway cruiser.
Love your videos and your passion about the LC 500. So much so that I bought one in infra red. Makes me smile every day. The amount of attention it gets from people in UK is amazing. I’ve never parked it without positive comments
Awesome review; exciting to dream of this possibility 🎉
This color combo is the best... I LOVE THIS CAR
Beautiful car. Excellent engine noise. Thank you AMD.
Wow what a amazing video! This is one of the best reviews of any car I have looked at. The 2024 has updated the infotainment system and want to see how that works. Lots of comments so I know you must have gotten the “neck scarf” feed back on the seat vents. Super nice touch. I have not seen the 4 wheel steering what package is that? Looking at the 2024 now. Currently a BMW owner 😮
I just want to say that I love watching your videos so informative. I didn’t realize how good Lexus cars are until I bought one.
Such a gorgeous car and catches my attn every time I see one. The exhaust sounds sooo good, like THUNDER.

Unfortunately our futture in thev automotive world is silence.
@@iraeich Yep.. I have a Model 3 and wife has a RAV4 Hybrid. I love not having to do maintenance and the torque, but it does come at a high price. Now I'm jonesing for a used 2016 RC F. If prices can get down to low 30s, I will be very tempted to scoop one.
The vent in the headrest is probably a heater vent similar to Mercedes Air Scarf for driving top down in cool weather.
Nice 👌
indeed all the German cabrio's have it (in option!)
That's the best review of the LC 500 convertible I have seen, thank you for sharing all these incredible details about this future classic car
Work of art.
16:03 I have to agree. Im very mechanically inclined and it takes a fortnight to get accustom to the brakes on it. Even when you "have it" its not perfect. Then jump in an RX and your like omg this butter! Trust me i always love getting back in my LC as butter cloud soft as the ES/RX/LS are i signed up for my jet. Its nice to know you can stop on a dime I've had to do it a few times and the car shocks me with its grip every time.

Lovely video Thank U
Very nice and e excellent spich. U r the best bro👍👍👍😊
This by far is my favorite GT cruiser. This was an and outstanding video to show the fit and finish of the Tacumi craftsmen at the Moto Machi factory in Japan, where they manufactured this vehicle. It truly is second to none and is nicer than cars costing $500,000-$1 million. Thank you for taking the time to make this outstanding video of my favorite vehicle. I do own a 2021 a LEXUS LX 570 and I love it. I also owned a GX 460 and that SUV was flawless. Again thank you so much for your painstaking detail in this video it was so well worth the 45 minutes of watching time.
Respectfully,

out of my price range, enjoy that truck
This is within my price Range, All I have to do is give up all the other joys in my life. 😳
@@icosthop9998 well worth it.
@@freshdotholla 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True
I agree that this is a superb GT car, but I’m very surprised he considers it a track car. The LC500 was not at all designed or intended for the track. It’s too long, it’s too heavy, it’s too slow, it has very poor low end torque, the suspension is way too soft, the brakes aren’t built for sustained heavy breaking, the steering is way too detached from the road, the big engine upfront causes considerable understeer, the lack of a dual clutch transmission makes it too slow to shift. This is my favorite car and my daily driver, but it is a very average track car. If you track it, you’ll will be very disappointed.
