Hey man after your gs350 review I got a gs350 black with th4 luxury package and ML and 1k dollar after market rims for 17k out the door in California. Thanks for the advice I. Super happy
Reliability is the last thing on my mind because no new car is reliable but as a driving machine yea it's near as makes no different one of the best out there smooth and precise handling and most importantly, no compromise in ride
@@MeynMotorGroup what do you mean by no new car is reliable ? And which years from the lasted models are the most reliables for Lexus GS or is let’s say
All the sensors and electronics...yea that's going to cost a fortune to replace in ANY car and EVERY car has all the tech and safety features now. Drivetrains aren't the problem its electronics
Kevin, stellar review, as always - thank you so much!! I just purchased this exact car, 2020, in Atomic silver ( w/ 14K miles) 2 days ago based in a large part to your review. Would also recommend that people purchase the full warranty and Zurich package protection. In the first 24 hours I discovered a screw in the left rear tire. Took it to the dealer this morning and discovered the need for a new $590 tire, covered under the warranty. You can’t patch or plug run-flats😳. I love the look and handling characteristics of this vehicle, like my previous ‘08 460, it’s styling and character, if I may quote you, are class-leading for it’s time!
Wow massive congrats my friend! Super happy for you glad you appreciate this machine. It really is a great vehicle to drive and one of the finest interior spaces. Also glad you got that warranty well done
Another great informative comprehensive video. It's truly admirable that Lexus has taken the design ethos with a leap forward into design technology and daringly returned with a sensationally futuristic product, rival manufacturers would have teasingly revealed as concept only.
Views always suck on this channel when I post anything that's not lexus lol 😆 but I'm trying to change that. Massive congrats my friend phenomenal car enjoy it and I'm humbled I could help. Supporters like you make doing these reviews worthwhile thank you!
Yea those prices will turn people into one lol any decent S560 would run like 120k I love that benz but jeez can't spend 50k more. But you can get really clean CPO used S550s for 40-60k depends on if you're ok buying a used Benz
These reviews helped me decide on buying my 2014 gs 350 f sport. Now I'm trying to decide on a gsf of a ls f sport. I haven't figured it out yet. Decisions Decisions 😉
IMO this types of cars is to be driven in not really to drive , with that said its a regular one with the presedential pack and watch me chilling on the back getting massaged while my driver floats on the road . That will not ever happen cuz i will never be able to afford one and i love driving too much to let someone drive me but that presedential interior is just too iconic to ignore
You will def be able to afford everything my friend! Man I never bought into the Chauffeur life lol I like to drive myself around but I don't like being in a car for more than 30 min lol
@@MeynMotorGroup yeah on thos NC roads i wouldnt either , around here we have great scenarios and roads to explore to the point i already spent like 6 hours straight simply just driving for no reason
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol me either bro always like driving myself too but would like to play the back once in my car and every big luxury car to get that passenger feel lol never got it yet and 30 minutes only wow bro would of never guessed that how much we love cars 😂🤣 but coming from u as many fine luxury cars u drive that’s really saying something but what makes my driving more enjoyable after 30 minutes especially on the highway going home from work is blasting some good ol hip hop music 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I prefer the prerefresh of the front face. The look reminded me of fine china glassware with the 3 eyelash l design n the side vents with some style to it the same as the side vents on this f sport spec. The side vents on the revised front face looks less elegant. Bit I do like the touchscreen
Great work as usual my man. I bought my 2007 LS460 in part because of your review. I might be in the minority, but I feel like Lexus lost its way on this design - its just a bigger GS. Looks way too similar to the IS series even.
Hi kevin, as always, amazing and personal-felt review. One question I have for you. You keep mentioning the cabin noise inside the LS 500, especially that weird wind noise in the back that's kinda (?)absent in the F-sport model. I can't find anything online about that, you're the only one who points it out. First that, and second, how does the overall cabin noise compare to the ES300H? (the only ES available in germany). Because, next year I plan to sell my 2017 Nissan GTR (Check my channel btw, got a few neat clips) and I want to get a Comfortable and QUIET luxury car and I am torn between a slightly used LS 500 or a brand new Luxurz Line ES300h. Which one would you recommend? Thank you for your time.
@@MeynMotorGroup Yup, this car has the longest wheelbase of any LS ever actually. But now its lacking compared to its german LWB competitors. But fortunetly for every new generation LS the wheelbase has grown so hopefully next generation will be able to compete with the LWB germans better.
I hate the fact that in this car, u can't get the rear executive seating package nor can u get the kriko glass option. Ohhh and also the interior color options are quite limited too in the f sport😭. Idk why but u can get the executive seating package in the s class AMG sport as well as all the interior colors you'd get from the luxury model of the s class.
Yea if you value those things, that's a big negative for this car. Fortunately I personally don't care about it but the regular LS500 is also a good product far better to drive than the hybrid
Oh no this will not sell at all unfortunately thats why this dealer marked down this LS so much its been sitting there for some time. They sell the regular LS 500 often tho
I really don’t want to admit this bro because I respect Lexus so much but this LS looks to much like a Toyota car on the exterior and I know the haters will say because it is one lol but I think the LS looks shouldn’t look anything like a Camry because it’s their Flagship seems like now all the LS has that similar look but back in the past the LS had a different and beautiful look to them which I loved
Exhaust Sports Auto I mean Toyota was the originator so can’t copy what u created and it really shows with this LS especially the front Toyota all day lol
GS F is bad ass for sure and I def hear you my friend I can't believe how close they made the ES look to the LS but is what it is I think the F sport body kit helps on the LS. But it's OK you already got an LC haha
I used to think that they look alike but when you see the LS in the street it just looks like a totally different animal. There’s nothing like it on the road. I get so many compliments practically all day long. It’s a serious head turner.
@@moekon165 I'm sure if I test drove it, I'll like it. I definitely need to do more research, because the GSF, M550, and E53 are the right combo of athletic/luxury
Whaat ?? 75000 $ starting price, Holly Molly here in Germany is the Starting Price for the LS 500 3.5 TT 417 HP with Comfort packet 128000 $, Wtf., that´s the problem why Lexus has no chance in Germany i think ?
Yea but I have to admit cars are just very expensive in general in almost every other Country compared to the states. Whats a quality car in Germany that is liked by most and is obtainable to people based on the average salary there?
@@MeynMotorGroup the average salary in Germany is 2000 € ( 2400 $ ) net per month, Lexus Cars cost the same like a Mercedes, BMW or Audi that´s why all the rich people buy a German Car = more prestige.
How can a sports sedan be a luxury sedan? They're the opposite things. Sports cars are about stiff suspension, handling and driving dynamics. Luxury cars are about smoothness, convenience and most importantly comfort. The 16 year olds are running the car market and as someone with a bad back, I've had just about enough of them. Some of us still want to be comfortable without having to have our back surgeon on speed dial. Sure, have your sport division like Mercedes has with the AMG or BMW with M. But why does every luxury car have to be a confused mess that is just a sports car with leather seats and a bit of leg room? Even those brands I mentioned aren't true luxury cars anymore. Their standard models have gone sporty and it's infuriating. They already 86ed my velvet interior 30 years ago and now I have to deal with sitting on a leather covered rock while I pretend to be a race car driver in a "luxury sedan."
I dont see it lexus is the one car brand that you can't say copied anything they always did their own thing I'll give them that same with Cadillac and BMW they have their distinct look
@@MeynMotorGroup with this LS they wanted to do a sporty LS Panamera way not by exactly copying them but influenced. But the new styling of the IS gives me hope i think lexus has found their way once again. This LS is like the pre face lift IS a very not refined styling very immature styling. I wish lexus does what they did to the IS to the LS. Otherwise the interior of this LS i think it even better then the merc s clas
“It’s a great compliment to an LC500”. I’m literally watching this video bc I obsessively love my LC500 but…want a nasty daily driver as well. You get me, Kevin. You get me. 🫡
See my Lexus LS Playlist here: ua-cam.com/video/JFO3jG73gFU/v-deo.html
Next to the Bentley and rolls Royce, the lexus LS and the mercedes S class are two of my favourite luxury cars.
Same
The s class is like 100k more than a LS for the higher end model what the LS produce it's the best in it's class for the money
Yes for 74k this is unbelievable value and its basically fully loaded phenomenal
Exhaust Sports Auto Wow definitely the Japanese quality and bargain Lexus offers
Absolutely!
However, a fully loaded LS 500 will cost north of $120,000
Nicolas Mikah That much in the US bro I don’t think so but not doubting it because it is Lexus Flag ship car
I would love to own this in the future. I prefer the new 2021 headlight design change. Thanks for your light humor and review as always.
Nice you're one of the few to like the 2021 changes from the comments I've seen so far. You will def love driving the F sport variant
I prefer the headlights of this! It’s like eye lashes, nothing like it in the market.
Yes, definitely the LC of sport luxury sedans. That is the highest compliment I can give it.
For sure my friend this car really deserves the flagship title F sport makes this car great
Another comprehensive review. The F-Sport spec. just sets it off. Wonderful car, love the aggressive unique styling. Really stands out in it's class
Appreciate it my friend and yes I def agree it stands out!
This is an amazing car, one of the best I've seen. Glad you showed it the respect it deserves.
This car was def great
