Besides the LFA, I truly believe the LC500 is the pinnacle for pinnacle. If you’ve ever sat in one and test drove it, you’d know what I mean. It is a bit slow compared to the competition, but 0-60’s and 1/4 miles is not what the LC is for. It’s a monster of a GT car - one of those that you crush hundreds of miles in WHILE in comfort. I want one SO bad.
I’ve drove it was not impressed at all I was way more excited and impressed with the 2024 mustangs gt and dark horse and gt’s but the Lexus is a good buy for someone
What really bothers me is how nearly everyone who's actually driven this car absolutely talks about how incredible it is, yet thousands of internet idiots will write it off because they don't want to admit how good it is. It makes cars like the Mercedes SL53 obsolete, which is arguably an inferior car in every aspect yet costs $65k more. People are going to regret not buying this car soon

I have a 2022 black caviar with black interior with dynamic pac . My personal opinion is I don’t like the touch pad as it gets finger prints all over and looks like it was just stuck there ? The original glass across the whole dash is classy
8:02 I actually really like the chrome! It depends on the car’s color, I think chrome looks great on a red LC. The chrome on a red LC is GORGEOUS. They offer a darker smoked chrome that I think works on lighter colors like silver and white.
My favourite colour is blue, but I never really liked the Blue Mica of this car. It is starting to grow on me now and I find it beautiful. The white interior is a great colour contrast with the blue. It is a stunning car. 🔥🔥🔥
I had a '21 in the Nightfall Blue Mica, now I have a '24 in the Ultrasonic Blue. It is worlds better. The dark blue was amazing in perfect light and too dark in all other light.

Never understood why people don’t like chrome. Especially on this classy, yacht-like convertible, I think chrome is a MUST and it suits it very, very well.
All the car reviewers complained about the track pad which was so good that once you get used to it you actually prefer it to the touch screen rubbish. If I were Lexus I'd increase resolution but keep the track pad
The LC500 is not a sport car. It is a GT but overall it is a very elegant lady. And this is why i think chrome has it's place on this car. Even the blackish upper doors should be chromed.
I have personal interest in this car, it’s good to compare notes. This is kinda a replay of 10 other guys doing the same marketing info. It’s an interesting GT car, drive it as one & tell us about it.

Love the opening sequence, Ian looks good in a Lexus. But I'm just wondering where they've hidden the passenger side steering wheel (as apparently there are controls for it according to Mike). But would you be proud to drive a Lexus before you are entitled to your Seniors discount?
I love the LC500 sounds like nothing on earth ❤ it letdown by performance from 0 to 100km/h4.5sec Rivals are much quicker. Please Lexus upgrade the software of LC500 to do 3.9sec
I loved buying my Lexus... knowing that there'll never be any issues with it and it never had any issues at all. They asked me about extra warranty when i bought it, I said If you're telling me that this car needs extra warranty, then I'll stand up and walk away from this deal right now. I strictly refused the warranty and also told them that I do not want absolutely anything else that You're trying to sell me. Lets just sign the paper and call it a day. That's the only thing I can't stand with dealerships. One day I'll just walk out because of being asked so much and tell them, if you want my business after this, then knock another $1000 off the price before I buy one at another dealership because I will most definitely head to another one. Anyway... Lexus is Great!
I'm one hundred percent with you right there, buddy. I actually questioned myself, thinking that maybe I should have bought the tire & wheel package. But in the end, I didn't buy any packages. This will be my 10th Lexus that I purchased over the years and I have never bought any of their packages. They wanted an additional 16K for 3 years of extended warranty. Then the finance person got mad when I turned it down. My salesman also said that if I get any package, make sure I get the tire & wheel package. I ended up getting nothing! LC 500 baby! (Autobots roll out!)
Here’s the deal, this car is fun beautiful relatively affordable, when comparing it to its competitors. But to me the best attribute with this car is the cost of ownership. It is a “fraction” compared to its competitors. Dependability is the hallmark of the Lexus brand, and this car is no exception. Smart money purchase in my opinion. Unless you’re a fan of extravagant initial cost, maintenance, and repairs. 😂
❣️Been a big fan of the convertible LC500 and completely agree on the chrome parts. For those who have the chance to know about it and get one will be very exclusive at more affordable price range. If I had one mine would have all chrome either blackened or color matching the rest of the car. Same about the grey/steel lantern trims, deff not a fan of those 😟
A total failure. This car is on its own category , an evolution of the SC 430 2+1/2 , maybe the performance is good with short and wide wheel base and low ground clearance , active suspension system without counting the permanent 4wd and the driving Systems that help enhance the driving controllability in the highly demanding conditions and active protection and safety systems .
Chrome rocks! Black is for kids. Wish they added more chrome, do away with the black trim. This is a beautiful car, show it off don't black it out IMHO.
Stop begging for lack of choice. Chrome vs black is not an argument that can be won, so give thanks that some manufactures still offer choice. Oh, and people that like all black wheels that make every car that has it appear junkier and floating on negative space are simply wrong. Get it?
