  • We celebrate 100k subscribers by reviewing the $100,000 Lexus LC 500. Drivers and shoppers are flooded with hundreds of options to rob them of their money. Premium buyers constantly talk about BMW, Audi and Mercedes when discussing luxury, this should change that. Lexus hopes to break that mold by creating a new generation car, the question is does it work?

      Sorry, but there's more to a car than reliability. Toyotas are the sensible shoes of the car world. They're not known as the go-to manufacturer of great driving automobiles in the same vein as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, or even Mazda.
      This LC500, and a few other recent Lexus models of late are the exception, but in general, Toyotas are the milquetoast of the automotive world. They had the Supra back in the 90s which gave them a foot in the door, but that's long since gone. And you can give a nod to the 86, but that's at least half Subaru, even built at a Subaru plant. And the Yaris sedan is actually a Mazda. Toyota, where are you?
      On top of that, Toyota has turned a lot of people off with their new design language, incorporating that hideous spindle grill and Predator snout on most of their product. With the exception of this LC500, the consensus is that new Toyotas are flat out ugly.
      As an older, long time enthusiast, I've owned around 40 different cars thus far, and not one has ever been a Toyota.

    I bought this exact car in August from a retired man getting ready to move to florida and by a boat. It is 2018 Infared with the toasted caramel interior. It had less than 8000 miles garage kept, never driven in the rain, heck he said he never drove it at night cause he didn't want bugs on it. So, it is Cherry and was his baby. I got such a great deal and I absolutely adore this car. I have a 2018 z06 with the extremely rare C7r package and let me just say that when I am in my LC 500 I feel more special even though my z06 is rarer and faster. There is just something futuristic yet vintage about this car. I would recommend mend the LC 500 to anyone who appreciates high end quality. No other car I have owned has made me feel as special to own it than this car. It is luxury and rides and performs faster than the numbers on paper suggest. If you are on the fence about this car, go get one and you can thank me later.

    I bought this car few month ago , and can’t be more happier , in this price range you can get a lot of coups but this one is by far my favorite. I thing tho it looks way better in atomic silver but most of the reviews I see are in this red color. What most of the people don’t understand especially if you just criticize different things that you can’t afford is that the reason I got it is because of the ride and luxury, I’m not planning racing 20 years old kids on the road what I’m looking for in the car is a nice ride and speed that’s exactly where this car excels most of it’s competition is in the way it looks and drives, also I like the fact that usually I’m the only one on the street with that car compare to every other Bmw and Mercedes, because people what to have that sign on the car and think that it’s Toyota, stop thinking what others think and just enjoy yourself.

      +TeensierPython - Except I've not heard of Japanese cars with terrible resale value, in general. Try buying a used Toyota Tacoma or any Subaru or other popular models. They hold their values. I waited years for the prices of NSXs to become affordable and it didn't happen. They were always out of reach for me, and still are. Plus there are now many better cars for less money than a 90s NSX. You're buying one as a collectible now, not a daily driver.

      The Camaro also won a design award when it came out in 2009, yet I see all kinds of people hating on it in their own opinion. Just because someone with taste doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean that 98% agree. I know plenty of people who think this car is hideous. I think its the best implementation of the terrible lexus design language, but its still a 6/10 at best when compared to the competition. There are a lot of unnecessary surface creases, like the one going from the front wheels to the A pillar, that don't line up with anything else on the car.

    LC500 is the BEST new car of 2017/18.
    The Lexus brand is bringing Japan into a unique class of car Japanese cars have never been in before. This car is being compared to the likes of Aston Martin and Bentley coupe's. This car honestly should cost way more then Lexus is asking for it I'm not sure how its only 92k. The interior is above any Benz Audi and BMW. This is truly the best car to come out of Japan in a very long time. This car isn't just about the numbers Lexus built this thing with a soul. Its special because there's nothing like it on the market. Period. Its not copying anything or trying to be like any other car... where the Germans are basically copying each other with specs, performance and design. Lexus engeineers wanted to give you something special and that's what this is.
    I am really looking forward to LCF. Great video man.

      shaft9000 the LC500 received 5 times more praise then the NSX. The NSX is actually not love as much as it predecessor and it doesn't break any ground in anything. This Lexus won the Eye Design award. It's has build quality of cars costing 2 times as much. A exhaust note that's sounds better then the NSX. It's also more fun to drive then the NSX because of its RWD. You don't like it that's ok there's always that one person but 95 percent of people think it's looks killer. This car even beat the Bentley continental Sport in a comparison. the LCF will look even more sick and have more power the NSX. Acura as a brand in general aren't really doing anything worth while outside of the NSX.
      Lexus is leading the way for Japanese automobiles in the high end market

    A car doesn't have to be super fast to be fun. Miatas are fun cars but they don't have massive HP or amazing 0-60. What sold me on the car is the drive and the sound. I test drove a friend's 911 convertible and bought this car 2 weeks later. The LC is just a more special car.
