The 2018 Lexus LC500 is a luxury sports coupe with a $100,000 price tag. I'm reviewing an LC500 to show you why it costs $100,000 -- and all its weird quirks and cool features.

Doug doesn’t like Lexus cause he sees Lexus’s driving around while he is taking his Range Rover to the service station
No one gets it
Facts
@@courtneyg5496 means the lexus r reliable but the Range Rover is super unreliable
Lexus is for people who can't afford Mercedes but want to feel like they're driving luxury while paying extra for a vehicle thats half a decade behind the Toyota origin model.
Facts.
@@sly9263 yikes. No wonder Lexus is such a small, unsuccessful, unappealing brand. Oh wait.
"It's only a Lexus." If this car was German or British, he'd be on his knees licking its tailpipes.
and for good reason. German cars are so much better.
@@boss4330 that's the stupidest statement I've read here. Overengineered to the point of such low tolerances added with cheap plastic parts equaling a grand total of a worthless terribly put together car. Handle well when they're not breaking down all the time. Lexus all the way.
I disagree - he's simply making the point that Lexus is more known for Crossovers and aren't as cool as their German rivals, which is unfortunate
@@boss4330 too bad teh GTIs are made in Mexico. but maybe they are made better than Detroit would do. who knows man. i just wish they were more reliable so i can easily get one in the spring.
@@baldeagle6120 in comparison, Lexus is way more reliable for sure. they are also luxurious.
Wtf, Lexus is literally such an amazing luxury brand
nah, they are just average these days. Aside from the LC500 all of their cars are meh.
@@kristians2704 Untrue. The only reason not many people aren’t buying more Lexus cars is because they just aren’t cool or relevant in the general public, the kind of thing your grandma owns. A truly underrated brand. By the way Lexus being average on a popularity and relevancy level, I can agree. But basically everything else is almost unrivaled.
@@echleonvfxamv4278 most of their cars are outdated and need redesigns - the RX, GX, LX, IS, RC. Also, a lot of them just use FWD based platforms from Toyotas and old N/A Toyota engines.
@@kristians2704 bbg
@@echleonvfxamv4278 Many people aren't buying more Lexus...????
Have you seen the sales of the RX??
8:05 I for one really like the analog clock. It's done in Mercedes, Bentley and Rolls Royce cars as well. It's a classy touch that can actually fit into the dashboard design real well, like in the LS500
Exactly I hope they never get rid of it, it looks so good
It's just lexus. It's awesome!
Infiniti also does it
Never helped the Maserati Biturbo though.........
And Porsche
Why does Doug talk about Lexus like it has no reputation.
Mirsab Hasan i don’t know. My experience with Lexus is very high quality and high comfort. Even on a ct200h out of 2011 or something
Probably the same reason my dad and brother look down on the brand as “overpriced Toyota’s” not that either of them pay much attention to any of these quality cars
Yeah LFA?
It does have a reputation and a good one. Just not one for high end luxury sports cars. They made 500 LFAs a decade ago. Not enough to change anyone's perception of the company as a whole. They have never made a sports car in the vein of a 911. Even their fast ones have been more luxury than sports. Which is fine. Lexus is all about comfy and reliable. They are great cars. But don't act offended when nobody treats them like Porsche. Completely different market.
Likely because folks from our generation have ridden in plenty of Lexi that were Camrys with leather and a grill. I'm sure they've gotten better
Why is he talking about lexus like suzuki lol
Suzuki is a beast in India.
Ryan Ward lmao

@Ryan Ward hahahahahahahahaha
For a guy that makes his living reviewing quirks and features, I’m surprised how sarcastic you were when reviewing the craftsmanship on display here. I’m not a hardcore Lexus guy, however I couldn’t help but notice your unapologetic bias toward this brand during this review. In comparison, when you review Cadillacs you never harp on their old stereotypes as hard.
He doesn't make his living reviewing cars. Check his previous videos - he said that this is just a hobby.
@@KY77779 They might be too old. he may be doing it full time now
@@THuang-lt1ob he has been doing it for a living for quite a long time now AFAIK.
But yeah this is one of his poorest videos so far. Lexus has some of the best built cars in the world. This engine is in quite a few Lexi/lexus' and his whole thing lexus isn't comparable to BMW or Mercedes is completely ignorant IMO.
He gave it the first ever 10/10 for quality, what more could you want?
He seems to shit on cadillacs slightly less, if it’s not German or British than Doug probably won’t acknowledge a car’s greatness
That interior is absolutely gorgeous, it’s like a vision of the future from the 1960s
Doug: "Ah, this car is so comfortable"
Also Doug: "Comfort: 7/10"
7/10 is really good on his scale tbh, that’s compared to 500k luxury cars
TheAmateurLancia seems about right. A 10/10 would be a maybach or like a rolls Royce, this is shit compared to those
@@cooper25ism I agree
@@cooper25ism most minivans are more comfy than those luxury cars.
10/10 is a rolls royce phantom level of comfort
Doug the type of guy to lick his finger when he needs to turn the page on his iPad
Robert Romi underrated comment
Robert Romi I like this one
Das funy
hes also the type of guy to lick his finger and hold on to the grab handles just because theyre there

Dude just said "I don't need a movie when I start my car"...... yo wth is his problem with Lexus, I mean damn 😅.
He praises it with bmw
When BMW and Lincoln did it, he praised it.
@@bunsenn5064 that's funny because Lincoln is dogshit
If someone had shown me this review and told me that it cost 200,000 dollars, I would have absolutely believed him.
well it costs 70,000 now lol. depreciated massively. so much for "200k" lol
@@saberterminal871 are you retarded the car cost around 100k 😂
@@saberterminal871 depends on the market
@@saberterminal871that's pretty standard depreciation
@@saberterminal871 70k 6 years later? so it only lost 30k of its value? thats actually impressive.

Most of this guy’s Doug Scores seem to totally contradict his entire review.
His reviews bring up more of the highlights and flaws he sees in the car. The dougscore us more of an "objective" comparison to other cars.
@@MustafaKhan-hg8lu yeah, the Doug score is truthfully where it stands in the entire world of all cars ever made. The review is how it feels and what you get for your money and connections to the brand and public perception and how fun it is.
No, you just don't understand how the scoring scale works... A 5 is average not a 7. And it damn near topped the charts, so what the hell are you even talking about???
Full disclosure. I’ve owned two LCs in the past three years and chose it because it is a superior GT, delivers a very satisfying driving experience and is a screaming value. It doesn’t disappoint. And the induction sound and exhaust note are completely addictive.
wow man thank you for the full disclosure.
Having just bought one of these this past week and experiencing it for the first time yesterday, I have to say I'm wildly impressed with it (and I'm a current Toyota/Lexus owner). The LC500 really is a 'have your cake and eat it too' combination of practical, reliable, and sporty that is hard to achieve. The materials are absolutely sensational, meaning possibly the best I've ever experienced in my life...and worthy of great mention. Although it's not going to top any single category, I agree with Doug that the overall combination of attributes puts it in a very special class. Amazing car and truly impressive engineering!
I would argue it would top interior quality and design in its segment, performance wise maybe not
Analog clock in a Lexus = Stupid
Analog clock in a Rolls Royce/Bentley = Classy
Nice!
If you look at the difference it's obvious. The clock on those cars fit with the design and are in a good place but on here the clock is offset and breaks up the design of the interior.
It's becoming clear he doesn't like Japanese cars. Every one I watch he's completely flummoxed by the simplest things.
Evan Dickerson Oh yeah he totally doesn’t like Japanese cars even though he thinks this car is absolutely worth what they are asking. Listen to yourself you clown
He liked the ol Acura Legend
He also calls it a sports car and it's a GT.
“German cars are the best built” my 2019 BMW X5 is falling apart before my eyes..
My condolences
Finally, someone who doesn't just argue for the sake of argument and tells the truth
I'm sorry for your loss but I highly appreciate your honesty.
Ezz Eldin new engine control module, master brake cylinder, timing chain and chain guide, multiple O2 sensors are just some of the issues! Amazing vehicle when working but hell when something goes wrong
@@S3XYdriver any luxury car would be amazing if it was working..... I'm just proud that there are people who won't make stupid arguments just because they own the car debated
Gonna have to disagree with doug on this one . It looks phenomenal, it’s super rare , and it’s reliable as hell
Yea but over a $100k for this car is literally a scam, who cares about reliability when you can afford a $100k car
@@walidzein1 If I had 100k to blow it wouldnt be on a used one
Styling 10/10 not 8! one of the most beautiful cars ever
It is the most beautiful lexus yet
No, its a shitty flop trying to rival the reputation of the LFA.
@@clanker8686 ah yes the LFA a limited numbers supercar double the price of this clearly rivals this luxury grand tourer
A 10 must be LFA. This is not even close. Yes it looks good,like a concept car you only can see at autoshow but that's all, nothing striking rememberable like LFA triple exhausts or 991 turbo " ducktail "
This car isnt really worth a 100k, there are way faster and more exotic cars than this thing. Plus, people will genuinely give more presence to a exotic car manufacturer name, where as this is a Lexus, which to a lot of people already sounds bad. Sure its not a bad car but there are a lot of better cars out there for a 100.000$
Doug is the type of guy to call startup graphics "movies"
Martin Smith exactly wtf?😂
Lmao EXACTLY and he was underestimating Lexus So much, and it seemed like he was tryijg to say that its not that sporty of a company but doesent realize that they made one of the most exclusive and amazing cars in history the Lexus LFA
Doug: look a movie!!
Also Doug: hell yeah!
Car: wElCoMe IdIoT
Lmao fr. It saying lexus on the startup is being compaired to a 2 hour movie
Actually, “movie” means ‘moving image’ whether it be a video, film(which is also a video) or gif or startup graphics
Technically speaking, he’s not wrong. At all!
Never been a fan of Lexus personally, but when I saw one of these on the road... I gotta admit it's a GORGEOUS vehicle
I just saw one in the wild for the first time on Sunday- It's been quite a while since a car has given me goosebumps like that.
Saw a grey one, didn't look like anything special.
Same. Two words: Road Presence
You sure it wasn't an RCF? xD jk
It looks great. but its still 100k. sure id buy one if i had a huge amount of money
I’m sorry but that shot from the low front end of this car was simply beautiful @10:40 Lexus not only outdid themselves with the design of this coupe but they just raised the bar significantly within the under 100k sports segment. 10/10 for Japan on this one.
That is the most amazing interior I've ever seen, I've found my dream car
"It gets a 6 out of 10, just Because its a Lexus" Hey thats racist.
If he is not a lexus then he is not racist
because its a lexus it got 10/10 quality
Thats BRANDist
@unrepeatable raddish the lc 500 is boring? idk what is exciting for you then. a 9 second drag car?
Racism dosn't apply to machines. However in future who knows when AI bots walking round with their own feelings.
why is he talking as if lexus is a low end brand lol.. Lexus is a beast brand..
MaJoR Because it's not generally known to provide exciting driving dynamics.
Because people care more about the brand than the actual car
@@skopf8116 so true... sadly..
gs f, is f, rc f, LS great sedan with good power, lc , lfa, lc F soon, high performance SUV soon and new ISF soon.
If Lexus were a band, they'd be the Eagles. That's why.
Man when Lexus sets out to make a sports car they nail the exhaust note this and the LFA are damn good
Dude this is literally one of my favorite cars because it’s luxurious, fast, sounds amazing, looks incredibly exclusive and classy and not too flamboyant, and also I’ve only seen one twice in my entire life. The rarity of this car makes it so much cooler to me, because like people aren’t gonna immediately understand what it is like they would a Jaguar or a Lamborghini or Ferrari. Like you could park this somewhere to go pickup food and not have twenty photos taken of it
This car is stunning. I'd give the appearance score a 10/10
Lord Enki reliability: easy 10/10
Lord Enki yepp me too
I'm critical of the looks, that's what gets me interested initially. it is a handsome guy & quality is usually good too. but competition amoung sports cars is stiff . but that's what will give us consumers a better product.
I've seen a blue one in person. Definitely a sexy T H I C C 10/10 in design.
HELL YEAH.
That's one of the most beautiful interiors for a car
very brown tho
see one in person. the body is perfection.
Cease N4 Its looks orange even
@@infowazz It's terribly awful.
@@crownfedora5355 u bastard
Analog clocks looks elegant and classy Doug, that's why. Fit perfect with a GT.

How is Doug only 29 years old?! He looks like he's in his mid 40's!
John Porter He looks the same from his first appereances i mean he will look like that all the rest of his life
All my grandparents are in thier 70s. How the fuck I'm only one year older than Doug with a 65 year old mother and my parents are in thier early 50s? Haha

"I'm cruising at a speed I won't say..."
55 on a 70 road
I live less than 30 minutes from where he filmed. The speed limit in that area (I-95 North in East Haven and Branford, Connecticut) is 50mph and turns to 65mph later.
Doug, first of all, thank you for the review, everything is super as always, thank you for your work. Secondly, the LC500 is a very beautiful model, but in order for it to be as fast as LFA, you need to tune and refine it with the hands of the master. Lexus will soon show the world the receiver of the LFA legend, it is electric, but it is more beautiful than Tesla in my personal subjective opinion. I hope this new model will also appear in your reviews on this channel. (I wrote through Google translator, so I apologize if there are errors in the grammar of the written text)
We all wait for you Doug score. It’s one of the reasons we all love you. Being as honest as you can and remaining none bias until you’ve thoroughly inspected it yourself. Love.

This car is so beautiful my god! What an interior
i saw one in a parking lot and i literally could not stop looking at it. u have to see it in person. the light green metallic color also made it extra nice.
Yeah I love the color
I’m in love with this car!!
The LC is amazingly nice, my grandpa picked up his for around $90k brand new which was discounted already plus he haggled it down, it took a week but they finally called and said he can pick it up. This car sounds and feels just as good as my 2012 CL63 obviously not as fast but then again it wasn’t meant to contend with AMG or M cars which are specialty to begin with. That being said I couldn’t see myself trading my R35 for an LC500, don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful car all the way around and definitely a great step for Lexus considering how much they’ve lacked in the past. Great video.

@@ojbrah9441 Doug's gearstick approves.
This is what a GT should be. I don't get the trend of hyper-GTs. Big sound, big smooth V8, extremely high quality build.
Seriously. You want your GT to be able to take you across entire countries and not breakdown halfway through hours away from the nearest BMW or Mercedes dealership.
This car actually emulates the McLaren SLR over a decade ago with more luxurious amenities than the SLR had. It sounds just as good as the SLR tbh.
When the SLR first came out people used to compare it to an Enzo, Ford GT and Carrera GT but that was not the point. The car is a GT to cruise long distances in comfort and have supercar performance on demand. This applies to the LC 500 as well.
AG19RDR Mercedes SLR Maclaren* you've probably confused so many people who don't know better
@@jmoney7289 Yes a lot of people think it's a Merc but the final assembly is at McLaren. Even seen the chassis plate that says it on the SLR. _McLaren SLR_ is just a shorter way of calling it. ;)
@@jmoney7289 keyboard expert spotted
They aren't start up movies, they are loading screens.
I was so into bmw that never thought I'd love any other car, but now, gosh, I only love the LC 500, I'd get this as an every day car, weekend toy and everything, just perfect
"I'm on the highway, cruising at a speed I won't say..."
He's going 53 in a 70.
Also, don't hate on the clock. Watches and automotive analog clocks are basically man jewelry now, and say what you want, but they look good and this one fits the car.
Crayton Caswell I LOVE THAT CLOCK
I absolutely agree!!
Agreed, but I personally think they could've placed it better. Perhaps somewhere in the dash where it'd be surrounded by leather and not right beside the screen.
"Seven. Seven miles an hour."
Just said the clock is class and luxury that’s why it’s in the car for that reason
This guy clearly has something against lexus... Hes probably jealous because it never breaks down
Daniel He actually does seem to love cars that would be a nightmare to own (repair wise)
Seemed like a pretty honest breakdown, and I'm a Lexus fanboy.
what are you talking about? he praises the car later
he loves the cars, but he does a bad job expressing it.
Stfu u probably heard a car was a thing the time u posted that comment
The interior is AMAZING!!!
The front grill is one of the BEST i've ever seen in the wolrd
And the sound this car has... AMAZING! 10/10 all this
5 years owner of an LC500, with 140k km ODO. A daily driver, long distance trips (1000+km). A true Grand Tuourer through and through. No major maintainince issues so far.

Dear Santa...
-GIMME DAT SHIT!
I like the analogue clock looks classy you have to pay for that as an extra i think in the high end Porsche 911. Infotainment is hard to use but depends if your used to hot or cold seating if I had it I wouldn't use it as I don't have it on my current car, but you can use the voice recognition to change seat temps etc. Also Lexus should of made it a 2 seater in direct challenge to jaguar f type .My dream car thanks for the great vid.
I love my LC500 and the remote touch interface, no more greasy touchscreens, once you get used to it, it's far superior than reaching for a screen.
Yes but swivel wheel is still the best though.
@@mirkomarjanovic3234 I have the mouse one and you're right. Not bad when you get used to it but wheel would definitely be much better than a mouse or touchpad
Big flexing, I drive a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with 160k miles. 😂

Gregg Alletta What about the 3rd gen Camaro?
It’s really not that great. No padding on the leather and alcantara portions. flimsy plastic buttons from a Lexus is. unsupportive seats etc
Take a look at the new Bentley Continental GT. Now that's truly sexy interior! The entire car is gorgeous anyway.
im sorry for you then
Look ar the s Coupé interior

I Love this car! Surprised never heard about it before 😮
i love that you call the 3 second startup animations "movies". I just love you lol
It’s just a Lexus I don’t understand when they say bullshit like this. Lexus IS such a high quality brand and I’ve owned so many Lexus vehicles. There fit and finish is so good and there attention to detail is remarkable. Why don’t u explain why Mercedes had to purchase a couple Ls400 to figure out why it was so good. It’s just a Lexus my ass. Lexus schools the car world.
Christopher Sangster , so true
Jack Z that’s awesome man, well appreciated those trucks that you own are superb
I agree. I buy a Lexus because I want a luxury car that is beautiful, easy to live with, and reliable. I don't want a money pit over-engineered European car that is designed to force you into their dealership and is plagued with electrical problems. And of course, a German car fanboy will argue "well if you can afford a Mercedes or BMW, you can afford the repairs." Yeah that's not the point. You think I have nothing better to do with my time to constantly spend it in the dealership because the stupid car can't go 6 months without an issue? No thanks. I am an engineer, and I spend my money on quality. Not on a badge just because FU I need the status symbol.
Lexus 👌💪 is the best
Juan Zingarello well said ,that’s what Lexus IS all about. Its a luxury car that’s easy to live with and these cars perform so well and the fit and finish is excellent, yes Lexus made some mistakes but what car company hasn’t. Lexus’s goal is to build a luxury car that’s well made and reliable, which is why they don’t dump all that insane Hp. I’ve owned many Lexus vehicles u get just as much attention as you do in a German car and actually sometimes you get even more attention in a Lexus. These cars are also so reliable and drives extraordinary well. The performance that Lexus vehicles give you is nothing to argue with either. These testers seriously need to get there facts straight. I’m pretty sure Lexus can throw a thousand hp in there car if they wanted to but they chose not too. The company chose to put there focus on other things. Hence why they have the best interiors and in my opinion the best quality and looks. They didn’t just focus on power and numbers. When they wanted to prove there point they built the LFA👌
Doug the type of guy to build a car with his own hands and then find quirks in it
Just watched his video about apreciation, and i came back to see the video about this car, since i´ve never really seen this one. Kinda Impressed with the car
The fact that you did an entire video about my dream car, this is my new favorite video on UA-cam!!!
I’ve seen this video millions of times, thanks so much Doug ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lexus designers are top notch. You won't always get top notch performance, but the build quality of this car is unprecedented.
For daily use, under 500hp is good. Engine will be more reliable.
I rather have a Porsche 911 or BMW M850i for this price but the LC500 isn't bad
@@kristians2704 You can get 911s for 100k? Dang show me.
"It's only a Lexus"
Yes, only the MOST reliable brand out there huh. Only a lexus LMAO
ThatYellowPokemon - I think I detected his tone as “only” as in that what many people think of when they think Lexus when compared to aspirational brands, but I don’t think that’s how Doug views the Lexus brand.
doug is right, here in my country they think lexus is a stupid chinese car i swear they dont even know the badge or the emblem of it same for acura they love honda but they dont know wut acura is same with nissan they know it they dont know infiniti same hyundai they dont know equus orr genesis but they know rolls royce they know maybach and bentley and they think they r better than japanese cars for god sake
They are extremely reliable though, I’ve bought 3 with 100-120k and driven them all past 230k without ANY repairs other than tires, brakes etc. I have a friend who bought a new challenger and he’s had more problems within the first 40k Miles than I’ve had between all 3 of my Lexus with 5-6 times the miles
@Mike Besides it's market share in luxury cars, sure?
reliability doesnt make something amazing, its just one factor, so yea, its only a lexus. altho this one is pretty nice looking one
Bought the hybrid here in france and I love it. Amazing look, confort and performances for the weight.
Gawd damn where do you work at? Fucking Nasa?
Mint car - one note I had to comment is: The centre console (or anything besides the passenger seat) isn't meant for the passenger so having it open towards the Driver isn't a flaw.

Kind of like the LFA Lite! Yet stands alone, impressive🤙🏽
Lfa is so godly the sound it makes just makes me want to cry.
That deep blue color is gorgeous. Haven't seen that one other than this video.
Honestly I’d rather have the luxury. I’ll never drive on a track and it’s more than fast enough in a straight line.
I’m certainly one of the people that’s wants more luxury in a sports car. I’d LOVE this car. The interior is one of the best I’ve ever seen
Alex Russett. Aren’t GT’s supposed to have luxury in them? And this one definitely does, the Aston Martin DB11 has more luxury!
I mean, look at this (don’t forget to put in earphones/headphones): ua-cam.com/video/xG3pZDxeJEk/v-deo.html
Alex Russett It makes perfect sense to get a car like this especially if you are in US. The road conditions are bad. The speed limit is low.
Nan Xing I mean, both of those things entirely depend on where in the US you live.
Alex Russett 😂
I'm sorry the Aston DB11 isn't as luxurious or detailed as this LC 500. I have checked both out in various comparisons and the Lexus is definitely the winner. The only car i'll say with a better interior is the new 2018 Bentley continental GT but that car is more than double the cost of the LC.
If you want quality....anything from Lexus is "Worth It!"
make no mistake
305 Dade County_GrabberBlue Martinez , true
saw this car in a parking lot and could not stop looking at it. it was a light green metallic color. really nice design. i was blown away for sure. it stands out but in a luxurious way, not flashy.
@@infowazz I wonder if you saw one of the new, rare Inspiration models. That Nori Green metallic color is beautiful
@@johnsurs22 no it wasn't that dark of a green. maybe it was a silver tone but i remember it had subtle green in it. so many cars are silver and this seemed unique.
I owned a 2003 LS430 and it was by far the best car I ever owned.
I love the analog clocks.

porsche would be idiotic to take that bet
I really don't think vag group wants to start making bets and losing more money.. dieselgate was a thing you know. On the other hand toyota is the only japanese manufacturer to never have a loss during a business year. Besides, the moral of Dalton's reply was that porsche would rival lexus in reliability, which is laughable to say the least

I understand what you were implying, i was simply stating porsche are not the company to be throwing around money stupidly when they've been in the shit before. $20 or $2 million they need to make wise choices in where they put their money
When driving your car daily, comfort is up near the top of the list!
Bouncing over the painted lines on the road becomes exhausting!
I dont know why this guy is so surprised by Lexus interior quality, they have literally been making better quality interiors than the germans for years
@donutdoode69 you gay
@donutdoode69 "hoW dArE yOu mAke a BetTeR CaR tHeN ThE gErMAnS"
@donutdoode69 you're like 5 so shut the fuck up
It's a Lexus, what's so surprising about it being built well?????
Mark S lol are you high?? European luxury is way beyond Japan. Let's see how well this car would compare to a Rolls Royce. From UK.
Hayden Briggs where did you get luxury from, guy is talking about build quality lol
Bruno Hahmann You can associate luxury with build quality. As an example, if something is handmade like higher end cars. The build quality and luxurious characteristics go hand in hand. You can't have shit quality with luxury, well you can but it would just be a shit car all together. You can have good build quality without luxury but it would be worth the money.
Not exactly.
I'd say it's more that you need to have a good build quality for a truly luxury product. But you don't need luxury product to have a good build quality, just tight margins on the fabrication process and quality control, the latter which japanese companies invested heavily when bringing their products to the west.
Bruno Hahmann that's what I said. You can't have one without the other. But you could have build quality over luxury.
Holy shit this car is fucking amazing
The Horrible Channel Right? If it had the same doors as the 570s it would be friggin amazing
and if it was a manual
Arth 16v stfu
the bitch doesnt know how to use a clutch?
The Horrible Channel iu
This has got to be one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made!!!
13:02 I love how the exhaust sound in this recording.
Can't afford one so I named my daughter Alexis
My name is a also alexus
Wavy af 🌊
I know someone who named their daughter Lexus. They call her Lexy, though. Lol!
There was a porn star names Lexus. She did "Debbie Does Dallas".
I met a few latina/black women named Mercedes 😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️
'Pretty sure life is about choices and you've decided to spend your money on family.
If you really want such a car you'll find a way.
"I'm cruising at a speed that I won't say" I FUCKING DIED 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fizz Fuzz Lmao was so confused why he couldn't share that 😂
Fizz Fuzz because 130 is considered fast for Americans
tmanepic 130mph is fast for anyone lmao
Wow, its good Doug is not talking so fast in recent videos. My head hurts after watching half of this!
When you come here from Daddy Doug's LC500 convertible video and you remember when Doug used to talk a litttttttle bit faster than he does now lol.
That is an absolutely sick looking car and of course because it's Lexus, it'll work like it should and run forever. I want one.
"Would Doug lie to you?
Yeah, probably. But I'm not lying this time"
Joaquín Farias I was genuinely surprised to hear that. I mean, if that's your best way to make an impression on something, better keep your mouth shut.
Miloš Sinđelić It was just a joke lmao. Stop being a snowflake and looking for a reason to be surprised/offended
Apple butters Jesus Christ man.. snowflake and looking for a reason to be offended? There's no way you are for real. If nothing else your reply is joke in this thing.
I honestly like when the car starts right up no delay in gauges. Would be cool if you can see fuel too when off so that way you don't have to put the key in it. Theft :D
But now days car gauges move all the way then back then shows reading.
Great review. Very fair. And, yes, balanced.
He's talking as if Lexus is a cheap brand , guys Lexus created the Lexus freaking lfa.!!!
LFA is shit actually its kind of Overrated and it is certainly a failure, atleast some people says it...
And i gotta agree with them...
Good sounding car ever? No. The exhaust system has been tuned so that it creates this unique exhaust note to it, making the overall V10 sound to be some kind of artificial, i prefer pure raw V12 sounds like in Zondas and others heck even the Carrera GT is prolly better sounding wise
@@RizLazey this is a god tier bait
@@RizLazey fuck off
The point is, Lexus can create a both reliable and performance car while others are just performance.
@@RizLazey to u it might be shit but for some of us ( like me ) the LFA is one of the greatest Japanese cars produced , along with the gtr , supra , Evo, WRX , MR2, rx-7, miata's ,etc....
This car is worth every penny
Weird username.
I’d rather put that money towards a house.
If it were $20k I’d consider it.
@David Sanchez if it is for speed, yes, you are right, but not everything is about speed
@@bigrobfitness7953 hahahhaa what.?! Hahaha you are crazy 20k? Hahaha that is the price of a toyota camry
First time I ever heard someone else's voice in Doug's videos. At 16:00 you can hear someone say "yeah" when Doug says "it's firm for a Lexus".
This strikes me as a bargain continental gt that feels well refined.
I’d love one
Lexus by far is NOT a low end vehicle. Toyota doesn’t want to rip off the consumer by charging an extra $10k for the badging and snobbery 🤷♂️...
I agree with this statement for this vehicle. I've sat in other Lexus sedans and I thought it was outdated and just a Camry with better materials
@@joeyn3590 I guess it`s a Supra for the gentry .. .
@@joeyn3590 No, it will not last longer. There is a reason why car guys NEVER buy Lexus.
@@boss4330 Don't know about this one, but my LS 400 had 350,000 miles on the original engine it when I gave it away.
"Toyota doesn't want to RIP off consumers by charging 10k for badging"? Really? Lexus ES vs Toyota Camry. Which is cheaper? "Snobbery"? Have you ever met a Lexus owner? Worse yet, have you ever seen a Lexus driver on the road? "Turn signals? What are those?" Speed limits are another issue all together. Either the driver is going 45mph in a 65 or 100 in a 45. Lexus drivers are almost more pretentious and snobby than BMW and Mercedes drivers.
I love analog clock in all luxury cars :D
Me too 😁
Me too
Me too.It just have that classy touch
@@naufalzamri7266
Absolutely!
Digital looks cooler tho
Hopefully they will come out of lease much cheaper and I'll be able to get one. It's gorgeous, looks like the ultimate grand tourer.
I just finished watching the LFA video, and now this. Lexus knows how to get some of the best exhaust notes.
I'm confused. He seems shocked that Lexus is selling a coupe at 100k and says "It feels sportier than any I've ever driven" but didn't he just post a video with the $400,000 Lexus LFA a few weeks back?
J F He mentions the LFA in this video. Super car vs Sports car
J F But the LFA isn’t a full production car. It was a limited run, so you can’t really call it a “real” Lexus.
rivengle so limited run cars are not actually proper cars from those manufacturers? Fuck off
dude he sold out long ago--that is why I quit subscribing..
Trying his best not to exclude some of those with lesser intelligence among his audience
