A lot of people use the fact that it's made alongside Toyota to put the car down. But in reality, that's the best part about it... You get a car that competes with the likes of S-Class, 7-Series, and the A8, but with the insane build quality and reliability of a Toyota. When are people going to learn to swallow their pride and agree that Lexus has done it right, the most luxurious quality a car can have is reliability and longevity... If you were a wealthy business man with a tight schedule, it's not very convenient to have your car visiting the service center so often. I find comfort in knowing the Lexus will start every time, all the time, and will always get me to my destination... And that's a luxurious feeling.
I very much agree. The greatest luxury is peace of mind, IMHO. Others may feel differently, but I do not wish to devote much time to thinking about repair bills, dealership loaners, and when the warranty expires. Life is short and too valuable to devote to such hassle, at least on a daily driver. Just my $0.02. :)
Where you're not understanding, is actually wealthy people when looking at cars like these usually lease them. So all those maintenance woes on a 100k mile S-class or 7-series are moot since the initial buyer will buy based on features and gadgets, second buyer will possibly get CPO and then the 3rd buyer is the one eating all the reliability costs. Lexus are nice, but they are still not on the level of the top German luxury cars. If you Lexus fanboys would get off your high horse for a minute, you would agree that the Germans make the cooler cars but the Lexus is usually "pretty decent" and more reliable. All true, but most rich people don't buy a car and drive it for 10 years.
The fact you are looking at it like it's a long term car for a wealthy person just goes to show you aren't one of them and don't know how the people who drive this market of executive cars work. That kind of thinking is usually done by the person looking at used ones with 100k miles and comparing to other 100k mile used ones. If you couldn't afford the car new, you shouldn't buy it used. Which is why you rarely see the old S-class and 7-series anymore.
FWIW, I'm not condoning any of this as sensible. This is how it works in the real world, and it's why Lexus won't ever take over from the Germans until they have enough prestige and wow factor to match.
Shintsu2 that’s bullshit.
@@Shintsu2 The only thing the Germans is doing is cramming a lot of UN-proven technology on their cars. The Germans, in essence, use their clients as test dummies. Toyota spends just as much or even more on research and development (new technologies) as the Germans, as well as American and Korean, but they(Toyota) don't mass produce it until said technology is efficient. The Germans perfect new innovations (customer complaints) as time go by.
Lexus is better then any other german cars
This car is stunning, especially in white.
A lot of Lexus vehicles especially f sport models with white look gorgeous because of the black contrast in the grille
I have this car in white and it’s gorgeous
even extra special if its hyper
I love how quite it is inside the car.
This is such a beautifully designed car. The attention to detail and the quality of the materials is simply uncanny. I would love to own this car someday!
I hopefully get this car in the future
Why waste $70k on this piece of shit instead of a GTR
Same
skoluh everyone has an opinion
skoluh piece of shit? This car is far more reliable than a GTR. Some of us buy a car for reliability rather than for acceleration
skoluh gtr fanboy smh. Some people don’t buy cars for acceleration. I want this car SO BAD
Not even surprised. Good job Lexus, another BEAUTIFUL automobile you have made👏🏽
Smooth.
Xx_MedoA_xX like BUTTAH 😛😂
Yes
My uncle just upgraded to the 500 from the 460L and while I liked the 460 I can't get over how much better the 500 is, especially styling wise, at least from my limited interaction so far. I'm sure this is a close as I'll get to driving it though...lol.
Love these videos, so relaxing to watch!
They will say its fancy Toyota but if that’s true so Porsche 911 is fancy beetle and Audi is fancy passat .. all factories makes machines and daily goods for high-mid-low income ppl so don’t be an idiot who talking bad on something he cant buy it .. if you hate the car thats your opinion but life have more options also..
Nothing wrong being a Toyota at least its reliable.
Oooh I love the glass that’s in some of these, the Japanese really have an eye for beauty and detail without restoring to gauche and tacky color schemes and nightclub lighting.
Great to see a feature on the LS500 sedan , so much talk about the new coupe , you’d think people forgot about the new sedan, great video 👍🏾
Man... this is a cruiser. Wow. Love those two round knobs on top of the steering wheel offering additional controls. Lexus innovating and doing it right. Love the HUD which you still can't find on Teslas. Amazing stuff.
I just got the 2015 craft line. Under 20k miles for 38k. Got it so I know I can put a million miles on it with no worry and save the miles on my other cars. Big fan of Lexus
Dream car
Ahh...! Love this channel! Liked and Subscribed!
But I want to spend $20k more on a European car, makes me look cool when I wear skinny jeans and drinking my frappe latte mocha grande fat-free coffee 😊
lmaaoo
How is the road noise on this car ? I test drive BMW's and Mercedez's and they are very quiet on the road. I've never tested a Lexus LS500 out before.
Do they not make the 400 anymore? Love Lexus’, feels like you’re riding on a cloud.
I guess I'll have to finish this later as I need to leave for work, at least I get to drive cars all day, makes it a little more bearable!
A fukin BEAST, out of all the cars!
Very classy car
Ford Ecosport with the 1.0 would be nice to see
hello you should do another drive of the ford explorer, but the 2018 sport🤟🏻🙏🏻
Holy moley theres is an $24,500 package option (which includes everything + Kitaro Glass trim) Still it worked out to be a hair over $100k...not bad
zech007 might seem high at first, but compared to money pit s class it’s a bargain... long term
You can definitely tell that it’s pumping in fake engine noise inside the cabin when he lets off the throttle and immediately it gets very quiet lol
so what
Need better color lights inside
Can you do this with the 2019 Lexus ES?
good driving
I own this car- it’s an amazing car. Everything in the car is the best in its class, from the wheel to the infotainment system (which is much better than other lexus’s). I will say the one thing I cannot stand about this car is the gas pedal, and how the car accelerates. Let’s say you stop at a stop sign. Tap the pedal to speed up slowly, nothing happens. Do some weird muscle memory manoeuvre where you gun it then barely press the pedal? Ah perfect. The throttle also isn’t very responsive in any driving mode besides sport s+, so if you need to quickly accelerate out of a situation, you’re toast because you won’t go anywhere. If you floor it, it will take about 2 seconds for the car to actually start going fast because of how the auto gearbox is set up I think. I’m being completely honest here, my Toyota Highlander accelerates better from 0. That being said everything else about this car in amazing and I highly recommend it.
Amazing car...in best interior color...this blue is also great but i would get the champagne metallic with same interior (sorry dont know the exact name in Lexus catalogue)
What a Music for my ear
Has anyone attempted to modify that engine yet?
I don’t think anything about this car is Camry ,ES maybe!
Lindo auto//nice Cars !!!!! 🤤
The digital display looks like from Chevrolet Opel etc.
wow 🤩 this might be good car 🚗 well it’s a lexus if you ask me
sooo nice.
is this car dark brown interior or black
There's so much noise in the image quality :(
Gonna miss their V8s ....
ahmad moawad hey if you have 75 grand get a V8 RC
Sea Urchin the LS always has the best V8s in it's class .... But i understand about the whole fule saving stuff and all.
ahmad moawad fr, I’m trying to make my first car an ‘06 Lexus LS430 with the 4.3L V8! Heard nothing but great things!
Ls F will be with v8. 5.0 like Lc
暗くてもわかる存在感…great !
both germany and japan were razed to the ground in WW2. Japan is a small country - you have to respect them . they are the only country that can build cars that can run with the germans.
god video bro
Test drive dodge journey 2018 please
Do some more car videos
DWJ 1367 check out his channel
next video in 360 pls
No ambient lights... only downside
For over $100,000 you’d expect it to have the V8, or at least make a little more power from the v6. Still a nice looking car inside and out.
Does it have ambient lighting?
What camera is used and where do you mount it. Perfect
TheCodFather forehead, GoPro something
German cars you leased (but make sure you always have spare oil in the trunk)
Japanese cars you buy to own!!
Rich peoples borrow the German cars
Smart people buys the Japanese cars
Please drive the new Toyota Corolla!!
Erin R he did do a 2019 hatchback one

Talk again and i will give you pain (LAPD headquarters) Now it is pain police department (PPD)
He's in Detroit
4:20 The fake engine noise is way too obvious
I hate that there’s no V8
It’s a twin turbo v6 u can mod it if u wanted to
The V8 sounds better, and does not look like a slug, either.
This is Toyota Avalon Luxury Version
Lol idiots tease Lexus calling it as "a mere Toyota". I take it as a compliment.
what a beaut
What was that you turned on at 3:25?
computer tutorials12 I think autopilot
They ship this with a v6 for v8?
Robert Barba v6 turbo and n/a
This is a twin turbo V6
Robert Barba twin turbo V6
So quiet😆
The front reminds me of Venom’s face
Engine is surprisingly noisy.
Why do the doors sound so cheap now. That’s the ONLY thing that bothers me about this car and other new Toyota’s 🤔🤦🏾♂️
Looks like an oversized GS.
No good ambient lighting? Come one Lexus u can do better than that!
Impalaaa
кРуто
Lmao. Any car can drive straight like that, that long! You didn’t even show how the lame sense really worked. Smh
Only looks good from the front. Doesn’t sound as refined as its competitors
HERBERT leitner Camry with extra padding in the doors
DanielWhaaaa if you drive one of these in person there is no familiarity with the Camry in that vehicle. Can’t say the same about the GS and ES, but this and the LC are true Lexus vehicles.
The GS is RWD based. the ES is probably based on the Camry, but driving them side by side, they will feel like two completely different vehicles. as for the Lexus LS, I agree. love the front, everything else is generic and meh. the interior is beautiful though, all in all it's a nice car for sure.
DanielWhaaaa Trust me, the LS has less similarities to a Camry than the Lamborghini does to a Volkswagen Jetta... If you find ANYTHING in that car that is shared with a Camry i'll kiss your ass.
Y’all so emotional over a Toyota
Roads are awful
Shitty gearbox.
Otto Von Bismarck Really? I don't think I've heard anyone complaining about the 10-speed.
ARentz07 Oops, thought it was the cvt, my bad.
This 10 speed is one of the most impressive things in this car

Fancy Toyota
yea and a bugatti is a fancy VW rite?
Origin of Bugatti is Bugatti itself. Origin of Lexus is Toyota. VW acquired the company Bugatti. Toyota created Lexus out of their own company.
I love fancy Toyota's, I can get a reliable and luxury car without high maintenance cost(depending on the model).
David Bang Correct
right, but have you driven a lexus LS and a Toyota side by side before comparing, or are you speaking from personal experience based on watching a youtube video?
