Lexus is my dream luxury car! I've already driven many Lexuses such as, ES350, 2011 ES350, GS350 F Sport, NX200t F Sport, 2016 RX350, IS350 F Sport. All I can say to Lexus is amazing to drive

[@hondaftw1234]

This is my favorite channel. Keep it up!

[@ianskillings1]

you seem more energetic than Chris. kind of more fun to watch you also talk to us while your driving

[@ianskillings1]

I agree

[@ChrisOstberg]

This is an awesome comparison, thanks! I think we balance each other out too.

[@netman88]

Best review of the Lexus GS 200t on KZbin. Thank you. Sounds like it has more than enough power.

[@Roughdog86]

When you got off on Beck Road, I literally work two minutes from Beck Road and I-96.

[@brucec43]

Car seems super quiet. Not hearing any grainy engine sound early on. The GS is sportier than you think for a Lexus. The problem with the 4 cylinder is that any cost savings at purchase is simply lost at resale time. The cost savings isn't nearly enough to give up the 6 cylinder for.

[@corpnupe85]

Excellent review!! I have the 2014 GS 350 F Sport. The F Sport is too powerful for me. I may have to give the 200t a chance.

[@AgentSmith911]

My dad always wanted a Lexus, I hope I can get to buy one for him one day, but they are somewhat on the pricy side. I myself prefer Mercedes when it comes to interior and comfort.

[@karlsmith6832]

piece of SHIT toyota

[@MrHav1k]

Yeah, Toyotas that can run for 20 years without major problems are such pieces of shit... LOL.

[@ARentz07]

You don't have to "find" the up and down arrows when scrolling through stations. There are dedicated up and down buttons right behind the controller. However, I will agree that some of the menus are distracting - voice commands help a lot there.

[@ChrisOstberg]

I mentioned that. The buttons still aren't great, it only clicks 5 stations at a time. A touch screen system or rotary knob system does much better under those conditions. You know what would work great? If the little Lexus mouse thing had a scroll wheel like a real mouse.

[@ARentz07]

That's actually a cool idea.

[@acuraluver]

Cool vid! I know this is a old vid but I'm guessing he didn't realize the trunk was powered. I saw the button on the left

[@kenyattajones3134]

Could you please please please test drive the 2017 Toyota Highlander limited please I want to buy one for my wife and I want to see how it feels when you drive it and your thought.Please

[@geethsan1567]

GS350 FSport pls!

[@romellbernardo3073]

Lexus my dream car

[@Tomlovesicecream]

The 3.5 L is the way to go for a fairly heavy luxury midsize sedan. Smooth, lag-free power and yet still gets very decent fuel economy at 20/28. This 2.0 L turbo is a good choice for the lighter Lexus IS200t

[@brucec43]

Actually the nature of the 3.5 is that it's gutless till the revs get up. With a turbo engine, even a 4, you get max torque at very low rpm relative to a normally aspirated engine. Modern turbo engines have very little lag, especially twin scroll types. It will have less hp which means not as responsive at speed.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I have a 2017 IS200t F-Sport. It has more than enough power & is smooth & quiet, but want to eventually upgrade to a GS350 in the future. Previously drove a 2015 Camry XSE V6 & sometimes miss the smooth V6 sound.

[@thechuwy6473]

saludos desde argentina muy buenos videos

[@D7D720010]

we want 4k

[@2isadventures]

Beautiful car! #teamlexus

[@leonardo3005]

Amazing car!!! 2017 Lexus RX 350 F SPORT at night, please

[@mrblack6974]

Well it's not benchmark because it's last gen. compared to it's rival's. when the new one arrives when ever that is then we can compare!

[@duyanhhoang5211]

How about road noise level of this one compared to the Lexus ES, buddy?

[@theNick9071]

Has power trunk, *slams trunk*

[@ChrisOstberg]

ain't nobody got time for that!

[@MGA99MASTER]

We want more reviews , but please make sure we don't get the flickering from the screens in the future...Thanks

[@amggaming3528]

MGA99MASTER There's nothing they can do about that.

[@MGA99MASTER]

I heard that with some cameras you can adjust the frequency in order to remove that flickering

[@ChrisOstberg]

I would fix it if I could! Some clusters have a refresh rate that doesn't display well when filmed.

[@luissebastianurap8284]

wow i like cars

[@molo8746]

This is compares more to BMW 528 or a E class not a c class nor a 3 series

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

Where's a GS350 F-Sport???

[@AbdullahAlSebahi]

What is like to drive a GS from IS model?

[@user-mf3sx1is7q]

Thin sounds

[@exclusivenova1138]

Toyota feeling to it huhhh? it is by toyota. lexus also uses toyota parts but expensive toyota parts

[@sic22l]

It's a pretty mediocre engine, it's clear it's their first turbo. Turbolag, mediocre power delivery, very high fuel consumption. You're very unlikely to hit 25mpg, usually it's around 16mpg in the city and up to 23mpg on a highway. That's Audi A6 3.0 TFSI level. Or even worse...

[@masterwhopper414]

Which is unfortunate because this is the same company that made the 2JZ-GTE...

[@tacosr]

So this is a Mercedes C-Klasse rival? It looks really nice, but I'd like to see a sportswagon version like Mercedes, Audi, and Volvo.

[@2isadventures]

TacoSeniour No. The Lexus IS is the competitor. This is a beautiful car though.

[@andrewb71]

TacoSeniour E-Class rival

[@tacosr]

Ah E-Klasse makes more sense, I swear he said C-Klasse though.

[@khoaphan8490]

not to disappoint you but if youre in the US there wont be any wagons soon because apparently every manufacturer thinks americans hate wagons.

[@tacosr]

+Khoa Phan I live in Canada so yeah we don't get many wagons besides the occasional RS6, E-Klasse T-Modell, or V90.

[@gauranshjuneja8855]

considering the initial impressions audi looks more luxurious and elegant.

[@kfountain73]

More time in the shop too.

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

*This car is UUUUUGGLLY*

[@romel4life375]

Who else thinks Lexus needs to get rid of their huge ass grill

[@romel4life375]

KingMacintosh tbh all Lexus look shit just because of there grill

[@nilpatel9096]

whats up with the redness part in the tail lights
