Can you believe it's been 30 yrs since the LS was originally introduced ? I can remember being a kid and my gramps friends teasing him for driving an Ls , "Fancy Toyota you got there" , "You paid 36k for that ? I would've got a Benz" , "Bold move spending that money on a Toyota lad".
They all underestimated Lexus at the time but Gramps got the last laugh as his 91 LS had an 18yr lifespan (Died in 08 unfortunately with about 362k).
This car will ALWAYS be special for Lexus or Toyota as a company with their 83 yrs of experience.
Toyotas are awesome
Wow 18 years and 362k miles! Impressive! Our uncle had a '99 until pretty recently
I recently lucked up on a 93 LS400 which I’m currently replacing the ECU on. Jesus it’s an amazing car even today, I get crazy looks in it and people don’t believe it’s almost 30 years old.
That’s so funny. When I read that, I thought that he meant his grandfather got the last laugh because he still had 362k in his bank account because he didn’t buy the Mercedes.
@@LlyleHunter lol..ironically thats actually very true. Benz are great cars and all, but Lexus is the only luxury car brand that gives all the comfort, power, trouble free cars and high resale value.
Ok guys these cars are killing it right now! Whether it's Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lincoln, Cadillac, Mazda you name it. But this car here, yowzaa! I know both of you lost sleep the night before reviewing this. And that silver spices it up even more.
These flagship vehicles have a lot going on for sure! Awesome vehicles!
I LOVE THIS CAR!! My dad has one in white with a black interior it’s also a F-Sport. I take it out for drives when I can 😂😂
I’ve gotten the privilege to sit in an executive LS with the Kiriko glass trim at Sewell Lexus here in Dallas and it was an absolute pleasure . Everything imo was up to par or even outpaces the Germans for the value.
Unfortunately, the touchpad was quite the learning curve although I know that after awhile owning the new LS people will get used to the pad just like I had with the hockey puck in the old LS and the RX. I was also a little disappointed that the LS now that it’s on the long wheel base, still has the overall same dimensions in the interior as the short wheel base LS460, although that might be due to the fact that I was 5’ 9” in height when my family had the LS460L and now I’m 6’.
The LS is more dynamic to drive than it was ever before, it was quiet, and the ride was a little stiffer than the old LS but that was probably due to the bigger rims and the suspension tweaks that the LS received to get such a balanced vehicle as the old LS handled like a boat. On top of that, true to what Andrew said the LS handled like it was a smaller vehicle even though it is near 5,000 lbs in weight. Not to forget to mention, the new LS grabs far more attention than even the 2013 S-Class our family owned back when it was new. The design may not be for everybody for sure, but one thing is clear, and that is the LS has a powerful presence and it exudes prestigiousness and it is in no way less commanding than the Germans.
If you are looking for something to keep for awhile with no drawbacks for the value, I would sincerely recommend the LS as an alternative to the Germans. Just my two cents for those looking for their next luxury flagship. 😊
Would you recommend it over the current S class to buy and then sell after about 5-6 years?
I saw a new LS500 on my way home today. It’s such a gorgeous vehicle and Lexus quality is unparalleled. Truly an aspirational car for me, though I’d probably go for the hybrid executive version.
@Daniel Hernandez no comparison bro different class 😂
@Daniel Hernandez good point. And the G90 does have an appealing value play too which makes it hard to beat. If you don't care for having the most amount of luxury, and dig the G90, you can't go wrong with it.
The Lexus LS is my favorite sedan from Lexus 1989-now!
I would love to review one someday. Thanks for the review you guys!
Fabulous review of the Lexus LS500 F-Sport!! Great job guys!!
I'm not a fan of the styling, but you can't dispute the build quality, and sophisticated driving experience. Another great review...you guys are Kings when it comes to effectively capturing and communicating details, but maybe next time you can find a quieter, and more scenic spot to record in that is more fitting for a flagship.
This big boii is NICE!!!! ... You know I've never been an LS fan until this generation, I always wanted the GS but now that the GS is being discontinued I got my eye on the LS for sure! Or I could just look for a used 2016-2018 GS and be perfectly satisfied!
Howdy, great review as always!😸😸😻
I been waiting for this review!!!! Love this car!!!!
Yeah we enjoyed spending time in it as well! It's a beautiful car!
Car Confections agreed!
When you can afford a LS500 you could care less about saving a few $$$$ in gas every month.
And the Emmy for best car review hands down goes to Car Confections. Ummm...yeah luxury and sport can certainly coexist. The 24in. head up display is something I've never seen in a vehicle but was cool to see in this review. 23 speaker sound system was 🔥🔥. Kirko I think it was said, that's a type of glass?
Thanks as always! And yeah Kiriko is a special handcrafted Japanese glass. The one we reviewed last year had it and it is truly a work or art!
Thank you for a superb review! What a stunner! Would definitely purchase the f-sport model. I really enjoy the direction that Lexus is going. Keep up the great work!
😃 Yep, we always prefer the F-Sport of pretty much every Lexus
Car Confections It’s the best option 😉
My dream car
Great LS500 review, very detailed
Thanks!
Absolutely love this car and your review! Wish I could afford that someday.
They should make an LS F
Yes it is 2019 Lexus LS 500 F-Sport Awd 3.5L v6 416 hp and 442 Torque 18-27 15-16 Cubic Feet Cup Holders Gauge Cluster Panoramic Sunroof Head up Display 21.7 Fuel Gallon 39.4 Turning Circle Atomic Silver Subcompact Sedan!!!!!!
Nice review car confection
What’s the decibel rating in this sucker? I’m thinking of getting a used one with less than 10k miles with the executive package. Want to know how quiet the cabin noise is at highway speed
Car Confections, what was the music called during the sound test?
Wow that was a complete review of the car Drew and I mean complete hahaha but I need the explanation of the gear shifts Thank God is a sunny day nice sunglasses next time let's stop at mac Donald s for food
Haha yes there was a lot of stuff to show 😂
I would like to buy the car seat leon fr I would be happy if you could make a video about it
You had me at the center console storage area when you said it opens from both sides.
I love the 2019 Lexus LS 500 f Sport!! It’s very sexy and sharp!!! My dad wants one!! I love it!!!
yeah but it's have no massage seat
Omar Carnegie I know
I bought the regular ls500 because it ride a little bit more softer & a little bit more comfortable an I get a massage while I'm cruising on the highway in long distance driving
A legend
on point
The 2017 LS460 is sexier IMO. Best of all it's naturally aspirated and doesn't need artificial engine notes pumped in the cabin via the speakers💪💪😎
That's not actually true, the engine noise is real, its just amplified so you can hear it better in the cabin. Nothing artificial. Plus that means you get to enjoy the growl, but your neighbors don't have to.
Good&luxury car
Imagine the LS as a wagon 🔥
Most beautiful large saloon there is....
i am waiting LC F
O M G what a wonderful limo......👍👍
I've yet to see an LS with that executive package
The one we reviewed last year had it! And the Kiriko glass trim
I would still want something like a Benz I’m just not a fan of Japanese cars :/ still love the videos though!
yes is true. the Japanese just can't compete with the Germans only few people know this secret.
When will Lexus LS 500 be updated with Android Auto?
The 2021 model has it
I with they made the Kiriko glass with white leather
Agreed that would look 👌
Butter 👍
Nice video 👌 and sweet looking car. But the thing that had me saying wow was the warranty really compl. is only 1st maintenance visit really Toyota which is cheaper brother Brand offer a better compl. maintenance warranty. Wow and also other luxury Brand do better to. Come on they have to do better.
I hope the starting price is $10,000
Check back in about 15 years if you want one with under 100,000 miles. 10 if you’re willing to get one with ~150k
Bmw or Benz half price in three years worthless in 10years in 15years will have to Pay You
416th view, 51st like with 2 dislikes and 25th comment!! This is so very Lexus!!
I’ve liked these since they were introduced. If you don’t mind right hand drive, you can now easily buy a nice JDM Toyota Celsior, which is the same car as the first gen LS400. The first generation is literally a million mile car, if you take care of it. Here’s an example of a sweet Gen II Celsior. th-cam.com/video/fkbJRk7MjQs/w-d-xo.html
I love the new one. If there is one thing I would change, it would be to back down on the textile industry styling cues (spindle shaped grille, loomed thread look on the center of the dash, and any spider web or thread weaving cues-some people don’t like spiders, and don’t care if Toyota’s background is the textile industry). Otherwise I’m inclined to say it’s yet another winner.
Thanks for the very detailed and comprehensive review.
I thought the license plate is needed on the front of the car?
Not where we live, thankfully!
I was about to buy this car but then my wife left me:(
Why doesn’t have a beep in reverse
Cause its not hybrid
I thought there was a beep in ls500
still the same "start" sound from the 90s
And?
Anything wrong with that?
*S Class has left the chat*
*C CLASS LEFT THE CHAT*
A8 is putting up a fight
No I would still take the s class the ambient lighting is still god like and therefore it has not left the chat
choosing this over s class don't make sense bro. it can't compete.
I would have this rather than an S class
What about the ambient lighting in the s class
@@skyforce2132 well what about the horrible reliability of the s class
Khalid Alshammary it’s not that bad in my opinion
choosing this over s class hahaha thats funny. ask car confection and they will tell you which one is more comfortable and tech
@@skyforce2132 Ambient lighting that can change color is so tacky and such a gimmick. Your in a luxury car not your local Dance Club. Do you ever see many mansion decked out in RGB unicorn lighting? Aside from some Rap artist mansions. All I want is pure white lighting in my land yacht. Now that is classy.
sooooo', now ventilated front seats? Wooow 👀👎
Fake engine sound through speakers in sport mode.
內裝蠢暴了
noisy engine
Lexus does the worse blank buttons. So many opportunities to put anything in them and they dont
KevCheng you haven’t seen blank buttons until you met the Germans. Basically any useful and innovative tech they have is a premium, while basically everything is included in Lexus except some options. We have a 2016 LS460L with the executive package and it’s nice to see all the buttons used.
It would have been nice to have physical buttons for the seat heating and ventilation
Car Confections I agree, but you can’t get everything right I suppose.
@@CarConfections Doesn't the seat ventilation and heating have an automatic option so you can set it and forget it? My Lexus GSF has this feature and i never need to change it. It should automatically change seat settings based on cabin temp you set.
Ugly styling. Lexus has lost its elegance. I'd want buttons not a touchpad. Can't imagine scrolling through menus to make minor adjustments while driving. My current '98 LS400 has been our daily driver for almost 23 yrs. and remains superb. I see no need to replace it. It was the successor to 2 German "luxury" cars that were utter junk in terms of reliability despite flawless maintenance. Yes, they were made in Germany and both arrived with factory defects.
