    The best thing about Raiti's Rides is the set structure. You know that after he talks about the rear end, he pops the hood and talks power and mpg numbers. Then, camera scoots in to the passenger side door and he tells you the price.
    If you've been around for awhile, you know where the sections of the review are that you care about.

    One of the interior option is that you can get the glass art, and the “origami” red or black on the door side. It’s very expensive tho to get that kind of option since it’s hand crafted with precision in Japan. But, it’s pretty amazing how this Lexus makes every car in their lineup very unique.

    I had Lexus LS500 2018 fully loaded brought CPO. Beautiful car, loaded with technology and always reliable. Took 2 long trips in it and it was ok for room. It does not have as much room in back as Mercedes or Jaguar and definitely did not ride as nice as Mercedes or Jaguar as it feels lower to the ground than either of those. I went back to Mercedes S550 2017 and fell back in love. The W222 platform is so much more reliable.than previous Mercedes W221. Choice for anyone depends on their desires for a luxury vehicle. You will not beat Lexus reliability. Great video.

    Raiti a couple of things, first the LS is the car that i'm chasing to have one day. I think there's a missed opportunity that you didn't review the "Executive" level package which would probably be a touch closer to the S-class, also I think the only thing missing from the Lexus brand is the ambient lighting, MB does a great job with that. Besides that it's the working class luxury car because of the affordable maintenance. My brother has an S, but the repair/maintenance cost or staggering. Great review!

    • @2004cyrus
      @2004cyrus 3 роки тому +1

    I love lexus and the new grille. Reason being is because there is the nothing out there that looks like it. I miss the days where designs were very Unique. You knew instantly what a car was in the darkest of nights simply by seeing the taillights. lol. So with that being said I’m glad to know it’s a Lexus and not a Kia or a Honda or Mercedes immediately when I see the grille
