Besides the LFA, I truly believe the LC500 is the pinnacle for pinnacle. If you’ve ever sat in one and test drove it, you’d know what I mean. It is a bit slow compared to the competition, but 0-60’s and 1/4 miles is not what the LC is for. It’s a monster of a GT car - one of those that you crush hundreds of miles in WHILE in comfort. I want one SO bad.
I’ve drove it was not impressed at all I was way more excited and impressed with the 2024 mustangs gt and dark horse and gt’s but the Lexus is a good buy for someone
What really bothers me is how nearly everyone who's actually driven this car absolutely talks about how incredible it is, yet thousands of internet idiots will write it off because they don't want to admit how good it is. It makes cars like the Mercedes SL53 obsolete, which is arguably an inferior car in every aspect yet costs $65k more. People are going to regret not buying this car soon

@@Chrischin99 thanks for the response! Yeah I’m not too much into modding either. Maybe just aesthetic stuff like different wheels or spoilers but that is about it. And nice, makes me want the LC500 more, hopefully I find a good deal on it soon
My favourite colour is blue, but I never really liked the Blue Mica of this car. It is starting to grow on me now and I find it beautiful. The white interior is a great colour contrast with the blue. It is a stunning car. 🔥🔥🔥
I had a '21 in the Nightfall Blue Mica, now I have a '24 in the Ultrasonic Blue. It is worlds better. The dark blue was amazing in perfect light and too dark in all other light. The new blue is amazing in most light. I took photos of my two cars about 20 seconds apart in the same light, the difference is huge. If you haven't seen one yet, google for "lc500 ultrasonic blue". Enjoy 🙂
really liked the review, first time on the channel and loved the subtle voice, no high pitch sounds or loud noises, just a satisfying and informative review
The sound is incredible, it's so good, when I first saw it, I absolutely forgot about German cars existing, it's so much in it's own class, the car looks absolutely stunning, and with this improved infotainment it's definitely next on my list....
I have a 2022 black caviar with black interior with dynamic pac . My personal opinion is I don’t like the touch pad as it gets finger prints all over and looks like it was just stuck there ? The original glass across the whole dash is classy
Here’s the deal, this car is fun beautiful relatively affordable, when comparing it to its competitors. But to me the best attribute with this car is the cost of ownership. It is a “fraction” compared to its competitors. Dependability is the hallmark of the Lexus brand, and this car is no exception. Smart money purchase in my opinion. Unless you’re a fan of extravagant initial cost, maintenance, and repairs. 😂
I loved buying my Lexus... knowing that there'll never be any issues with it and it never had any issues at all. They asked me about extra warranty when i bought it, I said If you're telling me that this car needs extra warranty, then I'll stand up and walk away from this deal right now. I strictly refused the warranty and also told them that I do not want absolutely anything else that You're trying to sell me. Lets just sign the paper and call it a day. That's the only thing I can't stand with dealerships. One day I'll just walk out because of being asked so much and tell them, if you want my business after this, then knock another $1000 off the price before I buy one at another dealership because I will most definitely head to another one. Anyway... Lexus is Great!
I'm one hundred percent with you right there, buddy. I actually questioned myself, thinking that maybe I should have bought the tire & wheel package. But in the end, I didn't buy any packages. This will be my 10th Lexus that I purchased over the years and I have never bought any of their packages. They wanted an additional 16K for 3 years of extended warranty. Then the finance person got mad when I turned it down. My salesman also said that if I get any package, make sure I get the tire & wheel package. I ended up getting nothing! LC 500 baby! (Autobots roll out!)
The LC500 is not a sport car. It is a GT but overall it is a very elegant lady. And this is why i think chrome has it's place on this car. Even the blackish upper doors should be chromed.
I have personal interest in this car, it’s good to compare notes. This is kinda a replay of 10 other guys doing the same marketing info. It’s an interesting GT car, drive it as one & tell us about it.

most people expected this to be the LFA replacement, certainly was not. While it cannot come close to a SL or AMG GT it does however, feel more like a E or S coupe competitor.
Lexus should make a halo special edition. Zen edition or rising sun series or something. Tuned for another 100hp and a manual trans with an aero kit and it will be the $150k car everyone will die for.
All the car reviewers complained about the track pad which was so good that once you get used to it you actually prefer it to the touch screen rubbish. If I were Lexus I'd increase resolution but keep the track pad
Just bought a 2022 LC 500 convertible inspiration edition solely because of the color combo--Iridium silver with rose interior and rose cloth top. Hate, hate, hate the electronics and the touchpad. If these colors were available in the updated 2024, would definitely have bought it as I held off just because of the ridiculous user interface and impossible algorithms you have to perform just to do simple things (heated seats require going into a buried multistep process) instead of just a button. They could do better but this has always been Toyota's Achilles heel. Great mechanicals, 8 years behind on electronics. Come on guys! Love everything else about this car. Traded in a 20 year old (original owner) SC430 because I they finally came out with a convertible worth the trade. Glad I did it. When the better colors come around in the future, maybe time to trade again.
I have reached the age where i started wearing pullovers over my dress shirts. Now this is my favorite car ever since i test drove one on an event two years ago. I’m 28 though but feel like a gray dentist

❣️Been a big fan of the convertible LC500 and completely agree on the chrome parts. For those who have the chance to know about it and get one will be very exclusive at more affordable price range. If I had one mine would have all chrome either blackened or color matching the rest of the car. Same about the grey/steel lantern trims, deff not a fan of those 😟
Can't wait to swap my RCF for one of these in the coming months. Same engine but an entirely different experience. The LC's comfort is near flawless and even more so when you replace the stock runflat tires. I've driven the BMW M850i and LC. The M850i is a Turbo AWD V8 that's heavier and a bit quicker. Nonetheless, for a NA V8 the LC has the perfect balance of performance and luxury at a decent price point.

With you on the chrome, it sucks, very Cadillac as you said.That's the one place I'd have black, or carbon. This is my aspirational second car.
Question: Does the test model car's exterior / interior color scheme require a "bespoke" order? Or it's a standard optional choice?
Bespoke
In canada it is actually an optional interior color for the performance trim
very good job on showing this car....
This car would have been so awesome in 2001. 4.95s 0-60 is as fast as a Toyota Camry these days
I test drove one today. So slow. The screaming V8 sound just didn’t match up to the lackluster performance
I own the coupe 😊
Is this a garage? A luxury car shop? What is this room with the fancy lights?

If this car comes with AWD I would def buy. Living in snowy weather makes it hard to enjoy RWD for almost half the year

The only issue I have with the LC500 is that I just can't decide which color way I'll get. This car looks good in just about all options.
