This was the driving test I most wanted to see! Of course you guys would be the first. 👏🏽🤘🏽💪🏽 Finally folks (other reviewers included) will see what owners experience, that the transmission is quite snappy when Mr. Hyde mode has been engaged. The North GA mountains are a great training ground to take on the Tail and I’m super stoked to see my temps on our mountain runs mimic yours, including the use of 2nd & 3rd gears only. Can’t wait to try this out with my PS4S tires. Thanks for posting, you chose the BEST color combo. 😜 💙❤ #BlueCrew #HeroSpec

Great Car👍👏🚗!

I’ve been following the Lexus/Toyota brand for years and see how much they grew. They make super reliable economy cars to sporty, luxury cars… I respect that so much 🎉 (But I have a Honda btw)

Nice Sedan From Lexus 👍

My wife bought a Honda accord 2022 that even has apple CarPlay

[@HaftAsia1]

Pov drive videos do not include talking... What is this?

[@naveenthemachine]

Great v8 on a not so great car

[@2R1V3R]

You talking crazy man.. 😂 get out of here

[@naveenthemachine]

@@2R1V3R lol. What’s so great about the is It’s old, dated, cramped, overpriced, and it doesn’t do anything better than the competition. Reliability shouldn’t be a concern at this price point. Not to mention it’s slower than an m340i or a model 3 performance yet those are the same if not a lot cheaper than the is500. Even car care nut himself said the is500 is an incomplete project and it’s disappointing

[@zonkar]

@@naveenthemachinereliability is a concern at every price point

[@matthewalexis]

@@naveenthemachine You completely missed the entire point of this car.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@matthewalexis I agree it’s got a good v8 but even so it could be better Don’t take my word for it

[@stephendelgado737]

So fast @drivingprophet

[@naveenthemachine]

Fast? 😆 No it’s not. A model 3 performance is fast. An m340i is fast. A charger scat pack or Hellcat are fast

[@stephendelgado737]

@@naveenthemachine 472 horse power he said

[@naveenthemachine]

@@stephendelgado737 472hp yet it’s a lot slower than a 380hp m340i or 365hp genesis

[@stephendelgado737]

@@naveenthemachine are you nuts

[@naveenthemachine]

@@stephendelgado737 no what I said is true. 0-60 on the 500 isn’t even better than a charger scat pack or twin turbo stinger / g70

[@willwill5595]

500 hp stupid stupid stupid v8. 65mph speed limit most places. Global warming climate change terrible gas mileage.

[@ARentz07]

Climate change is impacted by a lot of things. Cars are not even in the top 5.
