Luxury, performance, and reliability. This car is my dream car.
@@Brian_Eugene_Leeyes, the Avalon looked amazing too.
My dream car too❤❤
Amen!
Well be careful with this one. Not as reliable as the previous V8 especially early 2000. There has been some issue with the Engine and always air suspension goes out.
@Brian_Eugene_Lee i had an avalon and it could've been better.
Driving Lexus says you have money. Driving BMW says you had money.
I can appreciate Lexus and their “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality. Mercedes and bmw are cool and all but I don’t wanna imagine the cost of owning one long term 😂
Lexus built awesome vehicles love Lexus
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Too broke to afford a toyota too. I get it.
Great video Ben. At the top of the list of attributes for luxury you outlined, reliability/dependability should be the top attributes along with ride comfort, build quality, refinement and performance etc. I know Lexus is a bit slow to add the most up to date tech to their flagship vehicles, however when they do update the tech, it is usually dependable and reliable. Did this F Sport version come standard with the bird’s eye view display option? Or do you have to purchase some additional package to get it?
Like the blacked out brake calipers. Could use a digital rear view mirror. Overall it's top notch.
I tried really hard to get this and the new LX but the interest rate and dealer markups screwed me up. Had to settle for ES350. Not a bad car but LS was amazing.
Great review! It seems it’s always raining or snowing in Utah. Come visit us in sunny 😎 Florida and do some reviews.
This gives me sharp daylight running lamps
I like the direction Lexus is going with the GX, was never a fan but now I am paying attention lol
Great review and beautiful sedan. However, the Lexus GX is more appealing personally.
Any chance of an Eray review in the near future?
Not sure on the eray
Beautiful, and who doesn’t love reliability. I’d have to cover up the ridiculous analog clock. That style exhaust isn’t my favourite. That’s all I got.
I have to say this Lexus looks very, very good. It has a subtle yet substantial look to it. Nice!
very underrated model, they improved it a lot
How is it underrated?
Bro what is that high pitched squeaking that you get over bumps???
Does it have tht ambient lighting
The only I wish these premium trim packages would do differently is stop putting the series badging everywhere
I think Lexus should go all out on the redesign of this car. We know that they can make a reliable car. They now just have to make the car stand out.
No 360 camera?
Wished it had an V8 at that price point
The IS500 gets the V8 but the LS500 gets a turbo six? Also that engine compartment gives me anxiety.
Nice ES 🎉
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my opinion the styling on this vehicle is hideous after decades of being beautifully understated and elegant. I would not be surprised if it is cancelled for next model year.
The same car since 2018 they should update the exterior atleast
You beat me to it. This is basically the same car that you can get for $40k used right now. The LS is supposed to compete with the 7-Series, and BMW is eclipsing Lexus right now. No one buying in this segment cares that much about Lexus reliability OVER the ability to flex a flagship sedan that's unique!
@@wisenige So buy a used up piece of metal for half price. Brilliant.
So you are the owner of that parking cars ?
A nice interior, quiet, and comfortable ride....$90,000 is way too much for those simple attributes. Heck, a Chevrolet Impala has two...and I just can't see how the nice interior (in terms of materials and fit) are worth $50,000 more.
You don't know what a quality car is to make that statement
Are you serious?
@@MercOne Yes, $90,000 is too much. There is not anywhere near that much content/labor in the LS 500.
@@mob4ever Read my comment. The differential in price is unrealistic. Yes, the LS 500 may have some better this and that, but is it really worth the asking price? Are you going to notice it to that extent every time you walk up to the vehicle?
All good, pay a little more and get the S class, 750, or A8. They might be up to your spec, if you can afford that.
LS500 is a beautiful boat UFO
I’m 24 right now. My goal is to have this car by I’m 28. I’m going to get a Lexus LS500 🫡
It should have 500 horsepower to go with the number 500
100 thousand isn't a bargain
That's a lot of money.
You can buy a 1 or 2 year old AMG mercedes for that kinda cash.
Super sweet car tho
no 360 camera!?
I think it is an option PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR* $800
I thought they stopped making this car😅
They covered the engine so tight something ain't Wright
Lexus cover most of their engines in cladding in order to additionally reduce power train noise from entering the passenger cabin. With the engine cladding removed, you would be surprised at how fastidiously Lexus aligned all of the various hoses, cables and general engine bay items. It is a pity it is all covered up.
Lawd hamercy!
As well
It is not a throw-away luxury item.
For $90,000 they should throw in the 5.0 V8. It’s over 4900 lbs anyway.
I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the current look of lexus sedans. Not sure if it's been a while since they've received a proper re design, but I guess they appear a bit dated to me IMO. I will say that of all the sedans I've seen from lexus, it's looks pretty good and probably the nicest look of them currently.
Edit: I think the steering wheel is kind of ugly though. I feel like im the only person that actually will dislike an entire vehicle if the steering wheel doesnt look nice. Ford and chevy are absolutely the worst offenders, but fortunately the newer chevys design language is cool and the new steering wheels in their updated cars are actually really nice. The ford exception is the bronco and mustang, the mustang wheel is easily top 3 for me. And the broncos have a similar satisfying squared unique look. But things like the malibu, or escape are so ugly it burns my eyes. The chevy wheel has a bizarre hour glass shape with no symmetry with a huge ugly design. And the ford has what i can only describe as a 'torso' like appearance. Im convinced they wanted to emulate a chest to signify toughness or something, its nice to have originality and your own defining looks w manufacturers, but they absolutely could have executed the style in any way and they chose to make an ugly ass wheel
You could always edit out the part where you have to wait for traffic if you care to make your videos better. Whipping your head back and forth with a camera on top is worse than Blair Witch.
They still haven't added All Wheel Steering to this vehicle? They make a great product but continue to lag behind BMW, Audi and MB in the technology department. Step it up, Lexus!
The LS Dynamic Handling package adds this feature starting with 2023 models.
Thank you, Sir!@@Ry-lx2kl
It cost less because it offers less. That doesn’t make it a bargain. It’s massively outsold by far more expensive cars. That tells the story right there. I like this car but traditional LS buyers didn’t and they left in droves. Reliability alone won’t cut it and to add insult to injury even its biggest fan consumer reports isn’t in love with it. A lower price doesn’t cut it either anymore. A more competitive car is needed.
People are not buying flagship luxury sedans any more
S class, 7 series, a8, ls sales are all down
Most of these guys are buying luxury suvs & there are a lot of choices with wide price ranges
@@reddevil6585 Nope, the segment is dying excuse doesn’t work because the sales in this segment are still there but Lexus doesn’t get many of them. Yes the segment is down, but Lexus is down even further. The weakest die off first in a tough market. Again, the LS was the segment leader is sales in certain years, easily. That excuse is the same thing Detroit diehards give as to why Detroit is out of the sedan business. While the Koreans and Japanese still sell sedans.
@@MercOne yes but it’s such a tiny sector now even increasing sales by 100 percent don’t make much difference. I know a lot of ls400 & ls430 used to get sold
But look in the streets how many s class 7 series a8 Ls of any year do you see now
I know s class now out sales ls easily true
@@reddevil6585 What you see on the street doesn't mean anything, the sales numbers are what matter. Where I live I see them constantly all day long. Again, skewed for the area. It has never be a huge sector either, there was always just a handful of cars in it. Saying it's tiny sector doesn't change the fact that this generation LS is not a success. No matter how you try to twist it, the LS500 is an also ran in a segment it used to lead sales wise. Cars that cost 30-50K MORE are outselling it, process that. It doesn't matter how big or small the segment is. That much of price difference back in the day ensured the LS was the best selling car in the segment by a mile, now it means nothing. The LS500 is lacking, that is the problem, not the segment shrinking.
@@MercOne yes s class is way a head of it. & for the ls500 money I rather get bmw x5 or gle or gls or something
Then Twin turbo v6 is complicated / hard to work on too so you are not getting the trouble free low maintenance 10-15 year ownerships you had with ls400 ls430 ls460
Back in 2014 I was buying used luxury car & I didn’t even consider the ls460 cus d it didn’t look as good as s550.
Between 2010 e class & 2007 s class I went with s class
Everybody just keeps repeating this nonessential about reliability with zero to back it up. Kind of like Volvo being the safest.
I have owned all of the them and I tried buying an LS and when I sat inside I just could not believe how cheap the interior is. They do a good job at the high visibility areas but in true Toyota fashion they cut corners everywhere else. Kind of like Quattroporte.
I do not know how anyone can make the comment that MB interiors wear quickly? You don't think a 5 year old Lexus looks dated?
Nice car but %10-15k too $high.
I don't know about bargain. $20k to $30k more than cars that have better engines and options. m340i, ct5-v, ct4-v, even the g70 or g80 are a lot better. I mean it is a good car though, just very over priced.
Wow….wider feet than the IS500.
416hp… same as the IS F 😊
90 grand for a pimped out toyota camry? No thanks
#dadomb
It's a bland car. Good for people who value reliability only. Any of its competitors would be better for lessees.
A beautiful car ruined by Akio Toyoda: loud engine, ride not as smooth, cramped interior. FIRE AKIO NOW!!!!!
If it has a V8, it's worth a look! Ugh... V6🫣
