  • We do a quick review and follow up on the new 2019 Lexus LC500 to see if the subtle improvements from our last tests made the car better or worse. The market for 100k cars is small yet there are so many options. Cars like the Jaguar F Type, Porsche 911 and even cars like the BMW 8 Series and Mercedes equivalents. While the LC has some exotic car features it is dominated by the styling the V8 sounds more muscular than luxury.
    Strap in for a Jack Singapore Speciale with a lovely heartfelt cameo from Johnny America.

    "The seat coolers are so loud you can't hear yourself think."
    Lexus knows this and they've already included a solution: the LC500 has an onboard sound generator that drowns out the noise of the seat coolers. The sound generator is activated by a pedal under your right foot.

      Christopher O'Grady a bit less “look-at-me” than an S coupe in my opinion. Which I see as a positive. This and the i8 must be my favourite sub 150k designs, but the LC has less strange proportions so it’s the winner.

    After about 10 years you won't be wishing for the other car. In fact you'll be glad that you have had this car all of that time. We still have our 02 SC430. It is still as sporty, luxurious, and comfortable as day one. It still works as it did on day one. I know someone who lasted 8 months in a Corvette. The shifting, the rattling, the bumps, and everything else...for 10 years? I think not.

      WTF? are you trying to say that a car review should mention whether or not a car is likely to fall apart after a few years? Never, how long a car will hold up should never be a consideration in a car review. Cars are just to impress other shallow people, not be good investments. What is popular, now that is the important thing if you want to be popular too.

    Spent 100k on this or 100k on a amg ? One thing is after few years it’s worth more than the amg ....hands down it’s a beautiful car . I’m kind of tire of people claiming there’s no feedback . Explain what’s your definition of no feedback . I’m sure he’s confused on what the purpose of the lc500 . When a car runs so nice and you don’t feel any potholes or imperfection on the street people wants to complain . Lexus didn’t make this car to be strip down and rough riding sports car . One thing I notice is people don’t give Lexus their respect . Buy this for 100k or a bmw or Mercedes for 100k ....then the two German made would be valued at 30k after 5 years .... might need more brain then money on the Lexus !

The Japanese have this thing with using more cost effective design tricks and not really going all out as you can see with this vehicle and even the LFA(I love that car). However considering it's only $100,000 I don't considered that a fault. The Gulia Quadrifoglio is every thing this car tries to be in terms of comfort, performance, symbiotic connection and responsiveness experience. The Lexus is however simply more luxurious. A match made in heaven would be an Alfa design partnered with Lexus so we could get better reliability. The best of both worlds.

Anyway I still disagree about the mistress, you might want to take her somewhere. And my point was, owning an XK8 with totally useless back seats, having a really good sized boot is a really saving grace, and I have filled it with luggage for only 2 people a few times, and it's at least twice as big as the boot in this Lexus.

    I also bought the 2018 V8 LC500 based on being impressed by goose's last review and test driving it. Although the LC will at times frustrate you, stepping into any other GT car since, has made me realise how astonishingly good it is. It is a complete car which does bring an emotional connection with the driver. The BMW 8-series feels cheap inside, Aston Martin Vantage feels like a garbage can and the engine has no character, merc S class coupe is sterile and again no character. I actually don't mind the infotainment system on the LC. It is super quick to use when used to it. Also the TC can be completely defeated with no warnings flashing to annoy you which helps in the "fun" department. I keep trying to sell it and move on to something else (I usually change weekend cars every year) but I simply can't

My wife and I have no kids and we we didn’t want a Porsche because we never went to the track. We didn’t want a Mustang because it felt like a toy in the interior. We didn’t want a Maserati, an Audi or a Mercedes because we wanted something reliable, but unique. This Lexus is the only car on the market that makes you feel special, and is also confidence inspiring because it’s reliable.
    If you want to put 10,000kms on it per year, we know it will be fine; we don’t have to treat this car like a supercar.
    This car is absolutely perfect for us. We also have a Highlander, but we’ve put more KMs on the Lexus than the Toyota and we don’t cringe at the thought of doing so.

    My 70-year old Aunt bought one of these, but the convertible. A few months after she bought it she went on vacation abroad and pretty much said have fun with it while I'm away. With only 35 miles on the ODO when I first fired it up, it was a week to remember. The first time I took it out I expected to get bored with it after an hour, bring it back, and not drive it again. I literally could not stop myself from wanting to drive it more. I took it on backroads, through the city, pretty much everywhere. This car attracts attention like you wouldn't believe. I had a guy in a Hurrican practically break his neck as I drove past him. It literally made my day. I had no trouble getting up the next day because I knew I'd get to drive it again. Long story short, by the time my Aunt returned the car had nearly 1000 miles on it, and somehow months later, the car still only has about that same milage on it that I was responsible for. I can't believe she hasn't put 5k on it already given how insanely good it is to drive. I know if it were mine it would have at least that much if not way, way more.

If your looking for a race car then get yourself a race car, if your looking for alot of space get a SUV/Truck . But if you want to feel true luxury, if you want to have beautiful craftsmanship get the Lexus.
