I would say it's the best efficiency-focused hybrid ever, where there's no shortage of performance-oriented hybrids instead (NSX, P1/LaF/918) that exceed it on performance. I have a '21 convertible with the V8, it's fantastic. The car doesn't use the top 2 gears unless you're in Eco / Comfort modes, on flat road in the western US mine gets 32+ MPG in 10th gear doing ~82 MPH. But add in a few hills and it's right around 30 consistently. Leave it to Toyota to use the same platform to deliver both the last best NA'd gas car to come out of Japan, and the best looking efficient hybrid ever built.

Oh how I wish car reviewers would just show more of the cars they are reviewing instead of themselves, especially for cars like this... Ugh!

Love the episode , and didn’t think I’d say this but the car! Lexus for me are a no go but this one looks a beast, love the shape , just reminds me of bumblebee from transformers but I’d def prefer in a grey or black. Loved the drone shots! Looks a fun car!

looks great externally doesn't seem they've changed internally since the 90's.....the button designs and ergonomics are under impressive IMO how much does something like this car you drove cost on the road?

I thought the LC500 China Special Edition was the V6.
@CarChatTV2 жыл бұрын
The Hokkaido edition still is v6 or you can get it in v8 in it too. Would love to get out hands on one of those. But only options for engine are V6 3.5L hybrid or V8. Thanks for the Comment 🤗

Looks expensive and therefore I'll pass on it but I do like the colour, especially with the Carbon roof (Bumble Bee) comes to mind.

Yeah the colour looks great in the sun. It looks great in the shots we got from it. Thanks for the comment 😁
