Great review, nice outfit and really liked the new camera angle from behind the drivers seat.
Yeah agree about the new camera angle, much better!
Thanks Sarah! FYI, thanks for being you, it's uplifting to see your videos on days that are tough for me! Cars and a fun friend who works hard for her viewers! Today was really really hard for me physically so thanks!
"I was thinking of something more intelligent to say,
but no one's home". You are just...the best.
Hi Sarah. As Soon as the intro Starts i know im watching a comprehensive and thorough Review. Always A Joy To Watch.
Chocked full of info on the nuts and bolts, I knew we could count on Sarah doing her thing at the start by her enthusiasm.
They should sack anyone in car companies that think "fake" sounds should even be a thing. It is just monumentally stupid.
I don't mind when its done via ducting from the airbox into the cabin, but yes through the speakers is dumb.
Fake CVT gears - same scale stupidity, but worse in a way that it defies the whole idea of a CVT.
It appears the reasoning is it enhances the driving experience for the stupid?
@@mostcom they should have combined CVTs with fake gear shifting sounds, lol
Totally, 100%
Thanks Sarah~ I like your very mechanical mind and technical tone to describe this vehicle. That makes your review stands out from the crowd. It's very entertaining !
Spontaneous brilliance once again, Sarah! Thank you!!
Thanks for another great review, supper combination of tech data, and humour, keep up the really great work you do.
A great review, Sarah. Entertaining and informative as ever. I could be persuaded to get one of these after listening to you!
Thank you Sarah!
Another Great Video, Absolute Quality
Was here for my dose of Car science,your beautyl,the color of this car,and you giving it the beans!!! Love the overhead view,backseat view,and seeing you drive in those heels!!!! Great video!!!
Another awesome review, loving your description of this Lexus, you are hilarious and so entertaining, please don't stop, you're so addictive and entertaining, great job 😂😂❤
Yet another excellent review and further proof you are the best reviewer on the youtube - thanks for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Thank you Sarah. Entertainment packed with geekiness knowledge, auto geekiness.
Great review! The front cup holder bottom pushes down a level giving extra room for tall cups. Then you can press “push” button to release the bottom back up for standard size cups.
Great review 👍
Just when I was looking for some new upload from you Sarah! Good morning from Ph.
I don't know what it is about that hand emoji pointer stick you use but it's amazing at helping you explain to me what i'm looking at, and cracks me up at the same time.
The engine cover has been designed to direct airflow over the motor into the turbo to help with cooling. It's nice to have one that is functional for a change. Also the four wheel steering changes at high speed so it turns in the same direction as the front wheels
Awesome review Sarah. Love how you show and explain all the details that no one else sees and talks about. Lexus really should bring you on as their worldwide spokesperson. Well, thinking about it...you already are. 🙂
It’s always refreshing to open the TH-cams and see your smiling face and hear your cheerful greeting to all of us internet people.
Great review as always and the outfit and heels Super! 🤘🏻😎
this is by far my all time fav vehicle being that I drive a 2008 RX350. that push is for retracting the cup holders if you push in the cup holder for lager drinks.
I own a 2008 400h, and I recently test drove the new F Sport 500, and it was a complete disappointment. I was super excited when it finally arrived at my local dealership, but after that test drive I decided to wait, and i'm not sure where they are getting that 0-60 number, because my 400h will chew up the 500 off the line without hesitation. Hopefully they they switch to a turbo 6 cylinder in the future, or offer a non-hybrid supercharged or turbo 6 cyclinder option. Regardless, I would still choose the 500 over any other non-Lexus model in it's class. 🏁
Your color matched outfits are greatly appreciated!
Great review!!
Loved the back seat to front seat acceleration shot so we can see driver and windshield POV!
I love recommending Sarah-N-Tuned to people for the purpose of technical explanations! You are GRRRRREAT!
Amazing vehicle and stunning colour. Only you can make octopus and shrimp references in a car review and make it interesting and funny! Thank you for a great review. Wish you a happy easter weekend.
As usual, didn't disappoint with the random weirdness and jokes. Don't ever change 😂😂
YES!!!!!! The Seat bolster test!!!
Sarah, I’m loving the overhead camera view.
Now this review has a big PERSONALITY 👍👍👍 love it
One of the best reviewers on here for sure!!
Sarah, You're so much fun when you do these videos.
What you describe with the " disconnect" between drive trains was a reason I got rid of my old Honda mechanical AWD SUV. the rear drive train would only engage and help move the vehicle exactly when you needed it to NOT to... it was a heart-attack driving it in the snow. Ford/Volvo's Flex AWD which I moved to in 2018 does the same thing but with much less heart jumping.
I honestly think hybrids need to be either gas generator hybrids or plugins, not a combo of IC engines for thrust and electric motors to cheat the system.
Outstanding Colonel Chip
love the color
Sarah, I think you are right. A teaser for the new Tacoma TRD Pro is said to have a hybrid setup. My guess is this one. Great review.
looking great Sarah nice suv
I've seen (and loved) a very similar color on early 1960s GM cars. A '61 or '62 Cadillac or Buick convertible in that hue with a tan canvas top looks fantastic.
Yes yes now that you mention that combination I remember that combo on those cars lol
Good morning from Australia 🇦🇺 😅😊 just coffee and Sarah easy
I like how your outfit goes along with the cars you review. Plus your have a very quricky way of explaining how the options operate. Keep upthe awesome videos 📹.
Great review as always but honestly think each review improves. Also love the new camera angles, great for the overall experience. Can we get one at the pedals also? Lexus make some great cars but they're not overly popular in the UK, wonder why? Anyway nice review from a knowledgeable, classy woman who clearly knows her cars and her heels :)
Awesome and amazing review Sarah and you're very good looking and beautiful just like the Lexus
Love the color too
You're proper funny and knowledgeable. Great review
I was wondering if that engine could go into a GR86, but it’s probably too tall, eh? I’m now hungry for a t-bone! Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Cool cuv, thanks for sharing
Danke, Lunch with another awesome review in those heels total Skill ❤😂😊
Bitte
The colour on this is absolutely gorgeous.
❤ another great car review❤
The hand wand is so awesome. Ha. Perfect.
@7:06: "console diglet"... I Love Sarah!
If ANY other reviewer did this video I wouldn't have clicked on it. 15 mins with Sarah is worth it no matter what the car is.
OMG, Happy Easter!!!!
Oh lovely. Sarah dropped a video 😊
Great review. Finally, some nice looking foot wear.
Seriously? Nice feet, shame about the shoes.
Great review! This looks to be the same power train coming in the new Toyota Grand Highlander. Waiting for them to release!
Cool video thanks.
I agree with a ventilated steering wheel!
Thanks mate I like the engineering in hybrid cars.this tec been around in mining applications for a long time diesel front drive and electric rear drive.keep working hard😅
😎🍺👍🇦🇺
I believe the 500 is in reference to the size of engine that would produce the equivalent amount of power as the hybrid drivetrain (so basically toyota made it up), previous lexus models were always designated by engine size... gs400 had the 4.0L 1uzfe, gx470 had the 4.7L 2uzfe, etc.
The BMW 745 of yore was a 3.2L (later 3.4L) straight six, with turbo. The turbo output was about 40% higher than the normally aspirated, so 3.2 x 1.4 = 4.45 "virtual" liters. So maybe Lexus is doing some German voodoo.
500 is the minimum price for a service eval.
Absolutely stunning car... Performance comfort and reliability.... Love the design....
Aloha Miss Sarah. Love your outfit and yet another great review.
Another great informative entertaining review...... Maybe a 0-60 time would be cool? .... As always, you're vid's are most anticipated...💯
0-60 happens in 6 seconds
That finger bite 🤣 You're amazing!
Sarah your review of this car is without doubt the best I have watched (and I've watched pretty much all of them). Your honest review and camera shots of all angles underneath was refreshing. I need to test drive one but I'm a little underwhelmed at the whole package at the price point. Currently driving a 2018 rx450h and I tow with mine, so not sure this four pot will be a wise replacement. Thanks for your hard work and input Sarah 👍🙂
Great video
Happy to hear the automotive industry now has cross wind crab capabilities. Last time I saw that (which was pretty darn cool) was when I worked B-52's
A number of vehicles have had 4 wheel steer in the past prior to Toyota's Lexus.
Can’t wait until it breaks. Nice and expensive.
Out of my price range
FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥
Orange robot spaghetti for the win, it is actually a pretty cool car, and I also love the colour.
I like the touch pad too!
I like your safety shoes!
Thank you for another great Lexus review. Did you coordinate your outfit with the paint color?
I can't believe how much i love the pointer
Same lol
@@SarahnTuned As children we were always taught it was rude to point. Adults were usually pointing at us as they said it, though. 🙂
I remember when the Lexus first gen hybrids came out the 400h was supposed to show equivalency with a 4 litre n/a engine.
Safe Exit Assist - if it's clear to get out. closest to dash cup holder sinks since 2016. The Push lifts it to normal setting. A regular kick. Not a swipe. Karate kid not necessary. foot forward then foot retracted.
Sarah biting the pointy finger shot snot on my screen. Did. Not. See. That. Coming.
😂
Funniest thing of the day! And it’s been a funny freaking day!!
I am most curious about the insulation carrier suspension systems of the infrastructure of cars and commercials, thank you Sarah for adding this to us😅
Amen brother!
One thing I have to say that I really like the looks of this car plus the engineering
14:47 Sarah, you've got to tell us more about the backpack/gear bag! 👍😎
The 2.4 turbo sounds perfect for a Corolla tuned & equipped to compete with the Civic Si. The GR Corolla is phenomenal but too costly (even before markup), a situation not helped by somewhat limited production. Oh well. Great video as always. “Shport”
Yep I love the short mode along with the heatalated and ventilated and I miss the mentions of the fruit and robot compatibility lol
@@fresnokidsr Fruit and Robot compatibility is pretty much guaranteed in cars now.
@@tails300 GM is about to take it out of their new cars. Ponderous move.
@@gamby16a that’s gonna suck for people who buy “Goverment Motors” products.
@@tails300 ya I know but it was fun to hear haha
A friend of mine just bought one of these after the exhaust corroded & failed on his 4 year old Benz S Class coupe, to the tune of a $4k unwarrantied repair bill.
I haven't seen it yet, but he's pretty stoked about it.
An exhaust corroding isn’t a failure on the vehicle, it’s a failure on that location using such insanely corrosive methods of ice removal.
FingLonger is a nice touch.
Finally, the pedal view
Thanks and algo's Sarah
That's one of my favorite colors for a contemporary car.😄👍
I won't bore with how said St Celica, was transformed with a illegal 18 RG Twin Cam JA ripper, twin mikuni's, 20R 5 sp drop in, lots of piss and vineagar, roll cage added , shocks-tokico. springs TRD , roll bars, Quickor(!), TRD 13:1 steering box, 140 mph only my Fuldas!!!
Hey Sarah. Feeling really spoiled just now with all the Celica action and the 'carrrviews' (love the way you say that 😁) between here and Give It The Beans of late. I reckon all of us out here wish there was a new vid every day when we open TH-cam, and recently it feels like that. It's great 😊!!! Thanks looaads 🙏🙏🙏. Any chance we can have a 'brushing my hair after the windy Bean score' cutaway? 😁😁😁😎
A thorough review highlighting the new ways Lexus delivers. Looks better with it's clothes on got a belly laugh from me. I love this color too. Lexus technology is really shown off in this model. Is the tug of war between front and rear motors felt in the seat of one's pants? LOL.
Love that color...
Yeah it is pretty rad
Can’t wait for your review and driving impressions oh the Mazda CX90 inline 6 and 2.5L PHEV variant.
We had that color in 01-02 when I sold buicks it was Rosewood matalic
Thank You for converting KW into HP.
The words in that song walk like an Egyptian 😂 .
Excellent detailed review and well-done video.. Think the drivetrain could be put into an MR2, end positions swapped, to make an AWD and 4WS MR2?
That’s some next level engineering that you are proposing. It would be cool to see someone pull this off!
I once switched cars for a day and got to drive an old IS loved it . Now the only lexus I really think thats awesome is the lfa
