It is you. Don't put yourself into an age category. Drive what you like. I'm 59, and I'm looking at a GR86 and GR Corolla. Could give a F what some clown in the supermarket parking lot thinks.

I'm 20 years old and honestly I want one of these so bad, convertible too. I think it's actually a pretty youthful daily, it's like a modern Maserati Gran Turismo, soundwise too.
yeah I don't understand why would Topher say you gotta be 62.5 years old and getting social security after enjoying the car so much. I don't understand the thinking behind driving a lexus convertible and being old at all.
I normally hate blue interiors but man that is gorgeous. Like you said Topher it just has a complete package, beautiful design inside and out, great sounds and good feel to drive. I feel like its a mini LFA.
This car will be a legend in the future. Amazing interior, amazing powertrain, amazing exterior. A fabulous car, always have to turn around multiple times when I see one on the road.
Nice ride 👌 That copper crest and interior combo however is definitely interesting, but I agree the blue & white on its own is gorgeous. My BIL has owned a RCF for the last couple years so I'm very familiar with that V8, it really is quite impressive.
The perfect combination of beauty and brawn. And oh wow at that V8 soundtrack. I think if there were any modern car that I would be tempted to buy and keep forever this would be it.
1:36. You step out of the car and it has such a STANDING OUT COLOR it shocked me. I was not expecting such a transition from ocean and boat like interior comfort to an exterior that more or less reminds me of copper wire
Me, halfway through the video: "Wow, those look like Michigan roads.. Oh shit he's getting on 94!.. Oh snap, Willow Run Airport!!" Lol. Downriver Detroit here - Gibraltar. I'm obsessed with the LC500 and have watched almost every relevant video, I'm sure. Anyways, Hey neighbor! 👋
Your review is spot on. I got mine a year ago (was waiting for that new infotainment screen) and I only have 2 wishes: 50 or 100 more HPs and massage seats (not available even as an option). Other than that it’s a fantastic car. I’ve owned pretty much all other European luxury brands over the years and quality is amazing. The materials especially are on another level. Oh..I’m 55, not retirement age just yet 😂 Love your channel 👍
Finally a touch screen Everything literally perfect with this car🤩🤩🤩🤩 Obviously soft top convertible isn’t the perfect look but it looks better with the roof down anyway The coupe LC500 is literally the most perfect Lexus ever
Thanks for the great drive. Hands down one of the most beautiful cars being made today. That $40 wheel upgrade is HILARIOUS. I would have loved to have seen that fight between the designer and the accountant. Designer: This car absolutely needs these wheels! Accountant: I can’t allow it for a dollar less than $40. 😆
Chris, What an amazing coincidence. I have also driven a car with a blue steering wheel and dash board. In my case it was a clapped out 1979 Pontiac LeMans sedan with a 115 hp V6. 🤩
Luxurious interior, really good exterior, naturally aspirated V8 with a great exhaust note, Toyota reliability, convertible, relative bargain for what you get (compared to SL63 or M8), it's near perfect car, but I think it's almost directly competing with the Corvette at this genre of bargain sports cars, which is yet another near perfect car.
Believing the LC500 is just a car for senior citizens is the same kind of nonsense as believing the Miata is a 'chic car' or a 'hairdresser's car'. If you enjoy the experience of driving a vehicle, then why would you give a sht what other people have to say? It's ridiculous. Just think for yourself and don't worry about internet group-think.
Speaking of Aston Martin, one forgets this car was featured in Black Panther (2018) but it was stupidly in a dark color in an action sequence at night making it as unnoticeable as possible. It could’ve been ANY vehicle, nullifying the whole point of showing off the car.
Really dislike the new screen. The previous version was better integrated into the dash with a beautiful pattern on the passenger side that has been removed in favor of a tacked on touchscreen that clearly doesn't match the design of the rest of the interior. It almost looks like an aftermarket screen glued over the old one.
No it matches perfectly with the original Lf Lc concept car. That car had this screen concept that couldn't be used because they had a touch pad. Agree on the glass pattern on the side tho that was beautiful it lit up at night and no reason to take it out
I think the fact that kids are required to use a booster seat until a certain size has something to do with coupe sales plummeting. I rode in the back seat of 4 different Mustangs throughout my childhood and that probably wouldn’t have been possible if I’d had to use a booster seat.
Do you know when they are going to build the LLC 500 for the last year? Let me know if you get a chance love the channel and I love when you test drive any Lexus vehicle if you can do a video on the 2021 Lexus LX 570 luxury and if you can do a video on the 2023, Lexus GX 460 luxury…. Those are my three favorite Lexes, the LX 570, GX 460, & the LC 500 Convertible
The LC 500 is a decent 2 door grand tourer. Aside from the unique looks, the chassis, engine and driving dynamics are very standard Toyota conservative vanilla. The ultimate luxury coupe in this segment is the Mercedes AMG GT or GTR. If money no object, than the insane Black Series posting a sub 6:44 time at the Nordschleife, which is even faster than the LFA for less money.
I liked everything about your review except that over 60 year old comment because I am 36 and own the 2024 coupe model. Don't know why every car reviewer has comment on this car and older people..
I'd like to see you try the v6 hybrid variant of the LC. Wouldn't quite have the V8 sounds but it is a pretty interesting powertrain in its own right. I wish they put it in their IS or something cause I would buy that.
Hi Chris, When you do a night drive of the 2025 Mdx can you do it with rain because I want to see if the rain sensing will react immediately when there is water on the windshield when the car is started. On our car the the rain sensing wipers don’t activate when there is water on the windshield without rain.
one of the most beautiful interiors ever
yes, but absolutely not in that color- yeesh
@@Slythey especially in those colors; it's flawless in my opinion
The previous models interior looks much classier with the inbuilt screen. This looks like the one out of the RX which looks just as cheap and nasty.
@@DEVILTAZ35 yep, agreed- the tacked on screen has been a bad look for over a decade now and they're still doing it

One of the most glorious sounding engines available today
Not over a stang 5.0 dark horse negative
@@Jmarzxhe said “one of the” dumb
Both!
its fake piped sound

Amen to that 💯 thank u !

THIS ^
It enters that question: "Are you buying a car for you or for the others?"
Completely agree!
The copper exterior is nice standalone colour and the blue+white interior is also nice BUT putting the two together is definitely a choice 😅
Agreed, kinda reminds me of when you hit random when creating your car in a game
yeah lmao, i think they were just trying to flex their bespoke color combos for this one
I think that interior with a dark purple exterior would really go well together. But agreed, the color combo of that car as it is makes no sense.
the color combo is for American market taste
Horrible combination
Best looking interior by far
This thing is a goddamn masterpiece
Lexus never ceases to stun me as their interiors are always so refined and plush. Just incredibly comfortable cars!
one of the sexiest cars to be built today period.
1:45 I was speccing one out for fun the other day and noticed the $10/wheel upgrade too. What a deal!
I'm 20 years old and honestly I want one of these so bad, convertible too. I think it's actually a pretty youthful daily, it's like a modern Maserati Gran Turismo, soundwise too.
yeah I don't understand why would Topher say you gotta be 62.5 years old and getting social security after enjoying the car so much. I don't understand the thinking behind driving a lexus convertible and being old at all.
This interior is some of the best ive ever seen. Lexus quality baby. Gorgeous.
This car is an absolute masterpiece
I normally hate blue interiors but man that is gorgeous. Like you said Topher it just has a complete package, beautiful design inside and out, great sounds and good feel to drive. I feel like its a mini LFA.
Best. GT. Car. Ever.
lol too many periods
This car will be a legend in the future. Amazing interior, amazing powertrain, amazing exterior. A fabulous car, always have to turn around multiple times when I see one on the road.
I can never stop looking at this beauty
10 speed 5.0L V8 ... sounds like a Mustang GT but wrapped in luxury. love it
Mustang with a bowtie
I fall asleep to these videos but in a good way
Nice ride 👌 That copper crest and interior combo however is definitely interesting, but I agree the blue & white on its own is gorgeous. My BIL has owned a RCF for the last couple years so I'm very familiar with that V8, it really is quite impressive.
my dream car. i often go back to watch your older drives of this car. you could imagine my surprise when i saw this..
same real
The rims have always been the only thing Ive ever thought needed to change about this car & they nailed it with those!!!
The perfect combination of beauty and brawn. And oh wow at that V8 soundtrack. I think if there were any modern car that I would be tempted to buy and keep forever this would be it.

Anyways, Hey neighbor! 👋
Holy crap, that is a REAL nice interior!

Wish they made a hardtop 😢
@@krazzysu I mean they made the soft top for it to look pretty the roof down anyway.
They do make a hardtop for it@@krazzysu
Reddit spacing 🤣
I am glad you revved it in operating temp 👍
LC 500 is always a treat!
That blue interior is tough as hell
Havent seen an interieur Design this stunning before, wow!
And they say Lexus interiors are old fashioned
This is beautiful
If I ever get a weekend car this is it.... Love it!
Great googly moogly this car is amazing. I would go crazy ordering one of these in some kind of incredible color.
HOLY COW!!! This is the spec to have. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
I wish I saw these more often. What a stunning car it is.
Thanks for the great drive. Hands down one of the most beautiful cars being made today. That $40 wheel upgrade is HILARIOUS. I would have loved to have seen that fight between the designer and the accountant.
Designer: This car absolutely needs these wheels!
Accountant: I can’t allow it for a dollar less than $40. 😆
Hi Chris, I enjoyed the ride, thank you for taking us along. This is one I bet you were sorry to part with! RogerC 9/9/24
What an absolute dream of a car. Gorgeous.
Only engine that sounds better than this is the coyote, but this a very close second and every time I see a video on one I click just to listen to it😍
holy it sounds insanely good stock
interior is the coolest car ever
That infotainment screen looks exactly like the new Chevy Silverado. I can’t unsee it!
Best sounding engine ever !!!!!❤
I feel like this is the most in heaven I've seen Topher 😊
This car is heavenly😊
I’d argue the best feature of the car is the Lexus badging representing reliability
Chris, What an amazing coincidence. I have also driven a car with a blue steering wheel and dash board. In my case it was a clapped out 1979 Pontiac LeMans sedan with a 115 hp V6. 🤩
Best part = exhaust sounds + downshifts....and the chuckles!
This car is THE ONE for me 😁
those rev bounces man
6 years since this car was unveiled, and i'll still kill for this car.
I’d have a tough time deciding between coupe or convertible. The coupe is hands down the looker, but that sound with the top down is addictive…
Previously interior was much better with integrated screen
Agree, buddy of mine just copped a new 2023 model because of that
A timeless design that will probably need a change in the next 50 years!
My dream car
This interior is so beautiful!
This is such a beautiful car, both inside and out. Would love to test drive it haha.
Where you first started is where my work is located at on that complex of businesses, gotta keep a look out for you now!
You know if the Z06 didn’t exist, this would be my dream 2 door. This is 10000x better than a Porsche for street driving.
Put down the bottle
when i retire with a lot of money 40 years from now i want this car
Masterpiece
Im 32 year old but I’m gonna get one of this in my 33 birthday
Best car in its class
this car has a better interior than most hypercars, let alone cars in its price range (mercedes creaking plastics anyone? 😂)
Down shift sound is heavenly
Such a lovely car. My new baby at 42yo basically just confirmed that I will not be able to own one of these gems ... 😭
All these LC500 videos from you and I'm surprised you haven't purchased one.
14:05 He’s not in his 60’s yet
I hope they don't discontinue this V8 Luxury! At least not before I get mine! 💙
i prefer this japanese V8 AF rather than american or eurpeans ones. Masterpiece vehicle.
Beautiful sound
Dream car
Luxurious interior, really good exterior, naturally aspirated V8 with a great exhaust note, Toyota reliability, convertible, relative bargain for what you get (compared to SL63 or M8), it's near perfect car, but I think it's almost directly competing with the Corvette at this genre of bargain sports cars, which is yet another near perfect car.
Transmission is slow af
Love this car
Great sounding V8.
What a car
driving starts 8:08
one day ill have this, one day
Believing the LC500 is just a car for senior citizens is the same kind of nonsense as believing the Miata is a 'chic car' or a 'hairdresser's car'. If you enjoy the experience of driving a vehicle, then why would you give a sht what other people have to say? It's ridiculous. Just think for yourself and don't worry about internet group-think.
Audi tt is the one which is called a hair dresser car

had to drink with my pinky out watching this
Awesome car. And it's so cheap in the US compared to other countries. You'd have to spend nearly double that to get a LC500 in my country...
Yacht club ahh interior
(It’s a compliment)
Well built car, but it needs yellow flames on the side and green racing stripes down the middle to balance out that interior/exterior combo
Now that's a weird interior color. But when you see the exterior, it makes sense.
Topher casually drives past ACM, when you know you know.

That downshift at 11:10 reminds me of the lfa
This car is so beautiful it hurts..... because I can't afford it.... yet.
Man lc500 coupe red with some bbs lm wheels is such a dream gotta get my money up😭💪
I'd like to see you try the v6 hybrid variant of the LC. Wouldn't quite have the V8 sounds but it is a pretty interesting powertrain in its own right. I wish they put it in their IS or something cause I would buy that.
