Just got mine delivered, same model, and look. White with blackouts. Drives like a wet dream, smooth, powerful, quiet, and luxurious. My gift as a 60 plus year old, my grandsons love it!
Love my touchscreen in my Subaru and on my phone. Works great. Safe and fast. That's why every manufacturer offers touchscreens now. Even Lexus, Acura, and Mazda.
Lexus has been leveling up on style and performance and this is a beautiful car in white. Thanks Steven for the camera work and Joe for the on throttle action!
Another great review, Joe! Love your continued analysis and hands-on body discussion of curves, scoops and finishes. You are tops in the business for that aspect of reviewing. I got a 19 LS500 two years ago, heavily optioned, for a third off the sticker price and 14,000 miles; like new, and flies! Been driving LSs for almost 30 years and although I long for an 8, this 6 is 0-60 rated at 4.6, and my last LS, a 460 and last of the 8s, was 5.4. So, give me speed! Keep up the great work, and be among the first to tell us about the next generation. Oh, loved your last LS review, too. My 500 is Matador Red, named Ginger. Hope to see you here again soon.
Very nice Im a big fan of the Matador Red and its a relatively rare color also.I have 2021 IS 350 AWD in Caviar w/handling package and Mark Levinson stereo as my fun second car and thinking of getting ES 350 either new or slightly used to replace my Malibu Premier from 2019 thats my daily which does take quite a beating but im thinking of going the 2 Lexus route instead.Finding a new or used 350 w/ Mark Levinson is very difficult indeed,which would be my preference The LS is a big,beautiful,stylish, and solid behemoth of a sedan and the IS is a much easier fit for my garage as its not the biggest or longest and definitely would not fit. The LS and the LC are the best cars for $100000 out there IMHO. Rare,stylish,classy in a subtle way and dependable like no BMW or Mercedes is.
He’s TERRIBLE!!!!!! His trailer park roots are a huge deterrent. Anyone who can’t appreciate the elegance and the classiness of chrome and piano black interior accents is like trying to get a primitive bohemian tribe to appreciate the better things in life. He’s trying to sell mudpies to the auto industry.
To address your first question about the Lexus grill, I'm still diggin' it, especially on this beautiful LS. If they did a grill design as they did with the RX350, I'd like that as well. I like that the black chrome accents around this LS and on the wheels. On the end of the trunk lid, I wish they had spelled out L E X U S as they've done on some of the other models. I would also wish they had retained the V8. I'm a long-time Lexus owner and they continue to impress me as they've refined this magnificent vehicle. Thanks, Joe.
I’ve had the last three generations. Terms of reliability Ls430 wins. Terms of comfort the Ls460 with air ride wins. Terms of styling and handling the Ls500 takes both for a walk. Now i will say this. Lexus has been trying to please their costumers with their demands over the years. A lot of people always said the LS was boring and for old people. Now we have something more sporty and fun yet no one is buying it. You cannot please everyone, therefore you cannot make a perfect car for everyone. I love the experience i had with all 3 generations. All with their pros and cons
The styling of this car has held up well. It’s funny how the Lexus has become the value buy for luxury sedans as the G90 costs the same or more. I’d probably buy the base version with the interior upgrade package to get the massaging front seats.
Joe, great review of this Lexus LS. I have driven this car and I love it. Its one of the best looking large cars on the road and it handles very powerfully. I have owned the V8 and the hybrid powertrains and I love them all. Other luxury car makers think that displaying extra large screens and so-called "new" technology is the key to impressing buyers but this vehicle has all the possible options but in a tasteful less-is-more approach that many Lexus buyers prefer. Add to that is the staunch reliability factor than says more about quality than any flashy gimmicky nonsense that inevitably almost always breaks. By far this is my favorite large luxury car.
The LS500 is Lexus flagship vehicle. I think it’s grown to be a very nice design however that price is a big zonk. V6 twin turbo beats naturally aspirated v8 in regards to the fuel mileage. Once again Raiti you always come through 💯
@@cevinmoore8428 Did you drive one? The 6 beats all the 8s by a wide margin. 0-60. I've had 400s, a 430, 460s and now love my 19 LS500 the best. Again, it's quicker than the 8s.
@@bobcraig3648 Is the twin turbo V6 as refined and as smooth as the old V8? How about reliability. This is a dream car but the natural unrefinment of turbo coupled with its unreliability scares me.
In my opinion the styling has aged well still looks good. The interior yes it’s dated hasn’t seen any changes in a while. I do miss the V8 :( under the hood that was one of the best things about the LS before the turbo V6
"Love yourself 'cause if you do not- you cannot love another" Great gift Joe. You are a great guy. Bought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much. Best regards. Watch your car reviews to keep myself okay. Thanks again. I do love myself and now enjoy things not earlier. Just have an anxiety disorder.
Personally, I don't think there's a reason to buy this with the F sport package. If you buy the LS you buy it for luxury which it does a great job at. If you want a sports sedan from Lexus the IS500 is amazing
A triple zonk. Ouch😂 but yeah, on any luxury that comes with performance, they really should dial it down with the shiny stuff. It takes the aggression and toughness out of it. But I'd definitely add this to my list of dream cars.
They did a great job with this LS- I think its beautiful inside and out. While the lack of 360 camera is a bit unacceptable at this pricepoint, the piano black center console area bothers me far more- that stuff scratches and smudges up so easily- it will look like crap in no time.
I've been watching LS500 reviews for 3 months, this is, without a doubt the best of ALL of them. You , your cameraman/woman and editor did phenomenal work. I can see you work hard on making high quality reviews. Thanks for making the video.
Hi Joe! I personally love the Lexus front grill. This vehicle is gorgeous. Thanks for the great reviews. I’m a big fan of yours. Hope to meet you at a car show in California someday. Keep up the great work.
Great review always Joe! If anything the front Lexus badge & trims should've ALL been blacked out. There also should've been a black trunk spoiler or some type of wing
I love this car! Touchscreen is a great addition. But a 360 camera is a must for a 2023 car of this caliber! Hopefully, Lexus brings "F Performance" or "F Sport" to the LC500 with a touchscreen and 360 for 2025.😄
I have a 18 Type R and really considering this to be my next car. The simplicity and the body lines are amazing. The lens setting you used captured it perfectly. Everything is turbo’d now and I’ve been driving my brothers V8 Dodge Ran around and my good it’s been fun. To put a V8 in a refined, reliable sedan is awesome. Reason why I won’t get a Charger. Also, I want to make drifting in the snow/rain my next hobby :) Get a camera mount so your can safely rip the 500!
🇺🇸 *LOVE this new Lexus LS 500 F Sport* !! *Happy the track pad is gone* !! *Interior is very well designed and appointed* !! *Yes, better than the G90* !! *Fantastic video Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
Thnx for the detailed walk around for everything on LS FSport. Your review help me pull the trigger for my LS 500. I got the Base Model with the Executive Package because the interior touches was just top notch compared to FS interior... I wanted the Grieko package but couldn't find one and was not willing to wait because interest rates was just climbing.. Lets go Br@#d0n. But now I wish I saved the money and got the FS because I dont use the Ottoman feature for the Exec Pkg... But I still love my LS. People don't believe my LS was $113k but i did the research for S500 and the 7 Series to many problems... I want this to be my last car I ever buy and I knew that would not be the case if I bought an Audi, Benz, or BMW...
They should have configured a mini beverage cooler / fridge into that rear seat center armrest console. I also think it should have had a minimum of 500 HP instead of 416 but with a decent tune that can be accomplished.
Awesome! All it needs is an exhaust job (which it badly needs lol) and a black carbon fiber rear spoiler. Both are not terrible things, it has power, looks and space. Maybe a tune and it’s perfect for me.
This is a beautiful full sized sedan. For me, that engine is total overkill. But for someone who needs a full sized, a thrill ride, but without having to take a "Buckboard Ride"...this YOUR car. I'll stick with our tame little UX. I do love the original spindle grill. But I've gotten somewhat more acceptable of this "Hair Lipped" version.🤭
Nice car, better than I thought it would be. It’s funny that the G90 is the more conservative option the LS used to be. Love the interior and solidity, but if you can’t at least turn down the sound effects that might be close to a deal breaker.
Exterior looks great still interior needs updating and headroom is lacking a lot I think it would be more competitive with a less coupe like body style
Seriously, no 360 cam? Crazy at this price point. They should have replaced the track pad with an idrive like knob so you have the best of both works like a BMW.
I would take this over most SUV’s. Always been a big fan of the Lexus LS. I would prefer a V-8 though. And cheaper than G90. I would take the Lexus all day long.
Sweet review as always, beautiful vehicle, thank you 🙏 The V6 will always sound goofy compared to the V8, even with worst numbers I might still have picked the V8 😳 Lastly, Lexus should just use one color on the outer trim and badges, just everything gloss black or black chrome. Looks a little silly this way.
The quiet beauty of the V6 is in the traction control plus electronic transmission control modes. Then the others know who's boss. The V8s are like Harley's for middle aged guys who can no longer see their dick while standing. I can't hear my Lexus but it still has what it takes to scare the crap out of me when I ask it to.
This was a great review. For me, it just doesn't have enough power, a different set of rims, Lexus needs to push harder for that wow factor. Adding launch control would help.
Joe, I agree that the shiny chrome needs to go and everything needs to be the black chrome. I also dislike the exhaust rings, they need to be black chrome quad tips and the lettering needs to be black chrome.
Joe I am really digging this. And I have been making that cheddar.. but not yet Joe not yet just a bit longer. Thank you though for this amazing craft of a video you made i appreciate this.
Great video. I loved the details. Especially the driving impressions. Lexus did well by ditching the V8. I think the balance of driving dynamics would improve the LS500 with the bi-turbo V6.
Can't believe they haven't updated the interior (other than the center screen) I remember that center vent treatment from a mid 60's Continental! Borrow if you must but then move on! Thx Joe!
I have a 2008 Lexus Gs 350. Never any problems by far the best low maintenance vehicle I’ve ever known. If you’re looking for reliability Lexus is the way to go
I am a huge Lexus LS fan and I think Lexus does a way better job of engineering and screwing their LS models together compared to their European competition. Here is a factoid . The LS from its inception has only been built in one plant (Tahara Aichi Japan) by selected employees who take great pride in building the LS. I think the LS is a true Lexus and not a rebadge Toyota like the rest of the Lexus vehicles with the exception of the LC 500. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but save your money and buy the Toyota. I know sales of the current LS 500 are poor. Part of the reason of course is that SUV's are taking over the world. But, I think Lexus management really messed up by not offering a V8 option. Lexus has a fine 5.0 liter V8 that is standard in the LC 500. It puts out 478 HP and sounds amazing. If that 5.0 liter was available in the LS 500 I would be a buyer. Great review. Cheers!!!!

This, the LC 500 and the LFA are the perfect lexus trio

Don't forget the IS500 - then you have a true Lexus fanatic garage.

Seriously, no 360 cam? Crazy at this price point. They should have replaced the track pad with an idrive like knob so you have the best of both works like a BMW.

Lexus differently made statement first generation LS was a masterpiece conquered the world!
I would take this over most SUV’s. Always been a big fan of the Lexus LS. I would prefer a V-8 though. And cheaper than G90. I would take the Lexus all day long.

Very nice
I’m so glad that you are digging this one!
Love this car, as a kid always wanted that huge caddy sedan, but now it's 100% Lexus! Will miss the V8 though.
Ya gotta be nuts not to like this one. Thanks Joe
Good call on that one!
I have a 2008 Lexus Gs 350. Never any problems by far the best low maintenance vehicle I’ve ever known. If you’re looking for reliability Lexus is the way to go
Calling it a 500 without it being a 5 Liter V8 is a super zonk from me.
I feel your pain.
Runflats give a harsh ride. Prius gear shifter is difficult to learn. 《280 units/mo sold in the US in 2022
First
Thanks for making it!
Awesome video and I love the humor !💯, LS Rocks 🔥
He drives it like we want to see in reviews. Great job, man!
I am a huge Lexus LS fan and I think Lexus does a way better job of engineering and screwing their LS models together compared to their European competition. Here is a factoid . The LS from its inception has only been built in one plant (Tahara Aichi Japan) by selected employees who take great pride in building the LS. I think the LS is a true Lexus and not a rebadge Toyota like the rest of the Lexus vehicles with the exception of the LC 500. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but save your money and buy the Toyota. I know sales of the current LS 500 are poor. Part of the reason of course is that SUV's are taking over the world. But, I think Lexus management really messed up by not offering a V8 option. Lexus has a fine 5.0 liter V8 that is standard in the LC 500. It puts out 478 HP and sounds amazing. If that 5.0 liter was available in the LS 500 I would be a buyer. Great review. Cheers!!!!
