Lexus LC 500 Review: The Most Under-Rated Car of Our Time

[@Ngo1ful]

I can't help but stare at LC500's when I see them on the road. I would argue that they are one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It is a crime that no one buys them. If I had the cash I would buy one in a heartbeat.

[@AlanisKing]

You’re so right. I do the same thing!

[@nvn2005]

She said it. It’s the same car as the 2018 so you can own a used one and not have to drop 100 grand

[@hamsterbrigade]

​@@nvn2005this isn't true. The suspension and ride is different between the 2018, 2019-2020 and the 2021+. I have driven one from all three of those periods, the 2018 is easily the worst ride.

[@nvn2005]

@@hamsterbrigade are you saying the 2024 got the same ride suspension compared to 2021 ? If that’s the case you can easily save 30k only you don’t mind the mouse pad. I actually own a RX350 with same mouse pad, I got used to it like in 2 days and I don’t even need to look at the screen to know what I’m selecting. Versus The touchscreen you have to look where your finger pointing

[@jml9550]

The first year 2018 is known to have a rough ride quality. Lexus made improvements from 2019 on. I would avoid 2018 model year.

Just took delivery of my new 2024 LC500 coupe, Atomic silver w/ Caramel interior. I love,love,love this car !!!

[@AlanisKing]

SO HAPPY FOR YOU

[@cardo1111]

Congrats! Sounds like a beauty. Effortless power, vault silence and ingot build quality. What's not to like?

[@miguelpina96]

I plan on buying one in the future. Gathering info rn. Are the rear seats completely useless or could someone fit back there with some work? For extra info, I'm 6 feet tall. Usually just with one other person but occasionally have to drive 3 people short distances.

[@iwanterniwsky9441]

Passenger side could accommodate 2 passengers (front/back) under 5'5".

[@Will_Game_For_Silver]

Congratulations! This is my next car for sure! Currently rocking a 2015 ES350 that I hope to run to the ground. Maybe the LC will help me stretch the life of the ES further haha

[@berserkmaster2514]

the reason its underrated is because no one wants to be unique anymore. Someone looking for a sports car in this price range is probably gonna either go with german or american just like every other guy on the road. The hidden gems are always overlooked and usually have the best overall quality. There should be a check list of things to take into consideration while buying a car but all most people care about is brand reputation.

[@AlanisKing]

This car will be so rare because of that. What a cool car

[@SoleSavr]

@@berserkmaster2514 if someone was to get a sports car, and decided on a German or American, they’d be correct in doing so. Unless I misunderstood and you are asserting that this Lexus is a sports car?

[@mekg5430]

The LC 500 is truly a beautiful car inside and out! If i had $100k to drop on a car, this would definitely be on the list of options.

[@AlanisKing]

It’s soooooo good. Wow. I love it

[@cinthe3]

Gotta shop used!

[@jasonknight5863]

Exactly certainly this or the Nissan GTR. Completely future collector cars. Reliable unlike that newer German and English rubbish. I have 2 German cars but won’t go for something newer than 2002 model year .. unless it’s a G-Wagon. Very high old fashioned quality! Built to last a lifetime.

You can get one w/ 15k miles for $60k….so there’s that, which is nice

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

Esp that cold start 😮‍💨

[@edmasoud2826]

I just picked mine up with the same color combo. Mine has the carbon fiber roof, with blacked out trims. I was aiming for 911, but was worried about the cost of maintenance and long term reliability. I am very happy with my decision. Your video is crisp and detailed so thank you. I am actually OK with less sales which makes this car somewhat rare. You do not see too many of on the road, and when you do see one, they are appealing to look at.

[@AlanisKing]

Great decision! Huge congrats

[@YazAMG]

The LC500 in red with blue, orange and white interior is my favorite combination. I had a GS-F with the same engine and this was going to be my next car and keep forever. Then 2020 happened and that dream has to wait.

[@AlanisKing]

I hope you can achieve it one day! You deserve it

[@hyplerai]

I like that interior also, but this one takes the prize.

[@sparksterz]

I've heard you talk about this car so much, so it's nice to see you really getting the chance to go over it fully as it's remained relatively unknown to me for all the reasons you outlined. Really looks like a winner! I agree with you that this will be a future classic for sure.

[@AlanisKing]

[@YSOFFCER]

What's crazy is that the sales of LC500 is getting better each year since it came out in 2018, 1700 units sold in a year is nothing compare to the rest of the F line up, with GS-F being the rarest (only 2082 units sold in total in the US, RC-F and IS-F sold about 5000 units each). And the color Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 has being used on Lexus vehicles for years, the rarest color on the LC500 is the Structural Blue, which is featured on the Inspiration Series.

I think it’s the most elegantly beautiful car from any mass market manufacturer period. And my guess was 3 … if I had said 3 a month I’d have almost right. Thanks for a truly deserving review of a wonderful car. Often the Todd of the Everyday Driver Podcast says “The LC500 is car that guys buying a Corvette later in life actually should be buying” and as a guy older in life at 55, I agree. Have a great day and to quote the great philosophy Shakira: “Hips Don’t Lie!”

[@AlanisKing]

The reason why they’re so underrated is because they came out at the worst possible time: The time when everyone was finding out and falling in love with the LFA.

[@AlanisKing]

So fair

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Its such a luxury bargain. More stylish than a 911, with more special an engine than any luxury flagship in its price range, with the driving character to back it up. Its for real a passion purchase that doesn’t cost you

AMG, NSX, RS6,Viper, 512. These are some of the cars that I’ve owned. I say that to establish my point of reference. My LC 500 is my favorite car that I have ever owned! Mine will probably never be a valuable collector because I just drive it too much.

I am currently researching the 2024 LC500 coupe. Because they are so rare. I will factory order the white exterior with caramel interior. One dealership informed me, it would take 6-8 months to deliver. It seems Lexus is shipping more convertibles than coupes to America.

[@randyrandier2664]

The LC500 is my fav sports car, I love to own several. The price of new cars are so expensive, especially here in Europe, the days when our dad and grand parents bought their cars out right are long gone. People lease their cars to make ownership attainable and when the options of similar price are Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and BMW, a lot of buyers tend to choose those brands because they want to show others they have made it because of brand prestige. As they are leasing, 3,4 years, reliability is not a consideration that are high in their decision making. Which takes onto a point that I find strange: its ok for a car to have poor reliability because it is covered under the manufacturer's warranty(?) BMW, Audi and Range Rover comes to mind. The LC is understated elegance and here in Europe, a very rare RELIABLE NA V8 that would still work 15+ years down the line unlike the other brands. I'm glad not many people would know what car a 'Lexus LC' is............those type wouldn't know who Rembrandt or Chopin were. This V8 LC is very likely to be the last RELIABLE V8 that we could buy in the next 2 to 3 years before Lexus sadly cease production, but it will out live well past all the other options as they will end up in breaker's yard long before hand.

[@AlanisKing]

Very thoughtful and accurate comment. Thank you so much for watching!

[@edmundcharles5278]

Well, the other elite European GT and sports cars are using TT V8s with very good performance results and user satisfaction. These vehicles are trimmed as good or better than the LC 500 and these typically cost between $140-$200K, so Lexus can make such a future vehicle as well.

[@longbeachcarguy]

I’m one of the few lucky ones 😉. Bought my ‘24 LC convertible in that same blue 6 months ago. Love it. Was waiting for Lexus to drop the horrendous track pad and they finally did for 2024. Also very glad no one knows about it and no one buys one. The rarer, the better, especially here in Southern California where 911s are everywhere. Great review!

[@AlanisKing]

[@BPoweredLove]

(not so) controversial opinion here: Selfishly, I am VERY glad that the LC500 is not super-popular. I am glad I don't see them all over the roads. When I get one next year, and I promise I finally will, I love that it won't be so common. Where I live, every 3rd car is a Tesla, every 10th car is a C8, just so boring. They're everywhere. But I only see an LC500 once out of a thousand cars and I dig that. It's special when I see one. I point every one out to my wife in the passenger seat and we watch it for as long as we can until out of sight.

[@themagicacre1schannel-re7bl]

Made the decision to get a 2024 about a month ago. The car is absolutely amazing. One of the best sounding cars I have ever owned and a blast to drive. It truly has a split personality, because it can do loud and raucous or serene and comfortable. I think one of the reasons it is not a big seller is that on paper it is just not impressive. In a world with 600 hp+ cars that will go to 60 in sub 3 seconds it falls to the back of the pack. The only way to truly appreciate this car is to drive it and experience it, that is when you realize none of the big numbers matter. I have owned a 2017 911 turbo, several other 911s, M cars, and AMGs and I can say none give the experience that this car does. It absolutely has to be experienced to truly appreciate it. It is a fantastic vehicle and a true hidden gem.

In a nutshell, priorities change as we get a little bit older and I’m 55 now and the balance of all of the LC‘s attributes fit me perfectly. it’s my very first Lexus and I really can’t picture myself buying anything else in the future because this car is so awesome

Wow, wow, wow! I dont think I have related to a car review the way I did with this one in a long, long time. Everything about the car itself and the way you describe it with such detail and an honest human touch is just so captivating. The Lexus LC is truly one of the biggest underdogs of our time and it deeply pains me to see the LC not getting the attention it deserves. And am truly worried about the future of this vehicle and its glorious V8 as we head into a world filled with an "all specs and no emotions" attitude. This is a car that without a doubt go down as one of the most underrated cars of all time, and I feel like once its gone, only then will people start to see what a gem we've lost. But thank you thank you alanis. This video just really helped me to reason why I love cars so much. Everything about it is literally a sensory delight. The looks, sounds smells (of the top notch interior materials that Lexus im sure painstakingly crafts) and the feels are all not out of place belonging to cars hundreds of thousands of dollars more than this. Alanis, may god bless you with many more suscribers so you can spread your like mindedness enthusiasm with cars that bring a certain level of emotional connection with a far wider audience. All the best.😊

Hipsters! The car is almost as epic as this review. Well done Alanis!

[@AlanisKing]

Omg! Thank you so much

[@Zarrex]

I daily drive a Lexus ISF, which is already a rare car. I'll be renting an LC on Turo in a couple weeks and driving about 500 miles in it, so you can imagine I'm excited for that

[@AlanisKing]

That’s SUPER exciting! Have fun

[@Zarrex]

@@AlanisKing Thanks! ~250 miles down to Key West so it should be super fun

[@whydoineedahandle269]

Love this car and you did a great job with the video. Funny. I couldn’t have the white interior because it would get one scuff and then I couldn’t stop looking at it.

[@AlanisKing]

I would do the same thing. Thank you so much for watching!

[@edmundcharles5278]

Correct/ the white interior is too ‘fragile’ and the black interior is too ‘boring’- get the red or caramel !

[@whydoineedahandle269]

@@edmundcharles5278 Agreed I think red exterior and tan interior is the best combo.

[@nikhilchandra3778]

What a lovely review! I dream about this car all the time and wish to own one in the exact same colour.

[@AlanisKing]

Same! It’s amazing! Thanks for watching

[@harryheckels7232]

Fortunately my friend was Lexus salesman: had a couple IS 200 250 ; but regularly drove new models he brought home . Always loved the Mark Leverson sound systems

[@AlanisKing]

Love that

I convinced my guardians to buy a LC 500 and I have no regrets lol it’s an amazing car. It’s easy to look down the LC 500 by the specs people say “It’s slow” and “it’s not worth the price” they will never understand until driving one. It’s a car of balance and the experience in driving the Lexus slogan is “experience amazing” or “The relentless pursuit of perfection” and the LC 500 is the closest thing to perfection and you will certainly experience amazing. It’s a perfect all around car balanced in all aspects of driving. People look down on the LC just because it’s a LExUs and it’s a shame they have such a dumb mindset. “ItS JUst A ToYOta” this is a shame honestly biases ruin a perfectly amazing car.

[@AlanisKing]

I love this so much. Glad they got one. It's an amazing car

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

The way that interior sings is just....operatic. 🗣

[@AlanisKing]

Yes!

[@jtmg11]

clarkson voice "Yeesss.." Throughout the entire video, this car is simply perfection. Thank you for your service here! (I had no fear seeing you review this as you have the chops to be this vehicles global ambassador)

[@AlanisKing]

Ahhhhh thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrissimmons9969]

Excellent review as always. And you were spot on about the cheap looking sunroof shade. A carbon fiber roof is answer especially for the V8 performance spec. That would look so cool and serve a purpose by lowering the center of gravity.

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you SO much for watching. I really appreciate it

[@ryannatividad3137]

Lexus really should have capitalized more on the LC as a halo car to boost their more practical/cheaper cars. Unlike Audi with the R8, they did not follow up the introduction of the LC with other cars that have similar levels of styling, technology, or performance. Instead, they seemed to have let the IS, ES, RX, NX, etc. languish with arguably busy styling, and performance that trailed much of the competition. There was too much of a gulf between the LC and their other cars to have any serious connection. Instead, the forgettable, normal cars likely contributed and dragged down the reputation of the LC500. If they had come out with the recent crop of vehicles earlier (the new RX, NX, GX, etc.), they would have fit a lot better with the technology and design language of the LC. It's too bad those improvements to their line-up came so late that most people either forgot or never knew the LC even existed.

[@AlanisKing]

Totally fair assessment! It’s such a good halo car

[@edmundcharles5278]

Sounds true, it makes it hard to sell this vehicle to those who possess the means to purchase a Porsche, Mercedes, Corvette or Aston Martin.

[@m.m6270]

I love your energy and enthusiasm ❤ keep up the good work

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you SO much

[@StayFly100]

I just saw this masterpiece in the parking lot of my job. Jaw dropping beauty! Owner said it’s his daily vehicle. I love cars but this ride is on bionic level of style and performance….. car like this makes me question my priorities 😂

[@AlanisKing]

Same. All the time

[@KellerFkinRyan]

i currently own a gs350, sorta the “more practical and less sporty in every aspect” version. less power, softer suspension, large back seats, and a huge trunk. i love this car, and i really want an lc500. the worst part though is that i feel like it won’t tick the boxes that i want. it’s still heavy as hell and gets outclassed by the germans in terms of power. i wish it had more power or stiffer suspension or they took out the back seats for weight reduction. it should stay a luxury vehicle, by all means, but man, there’s not a lot of fun in 4500 lbs. the is500 is lighter and faster ironically.

[@AlanisKing]

We had an IS 500 on the channel too! It was fun

[@Harko-]

I indeed did not know about this Lexus, but know I do 😀. Thanks Alanis!

[@AlanisKing]

Thank YOU for always watching

[@islandgirlboss3233]

I owned a black RC 350 F Sport,everytime i see her i get this butterflies feeling. My next car is gonna be this Gorgeous LC 500!

[@AlanisKing]

That's incredible. I'm so happy for you. GREAT choice

[@Barbee2617]

My brother has a ‘20 Inspiration Series in Nori Green Pearl. It is one of the most amazing cars I’ve ever been in. It drives so well. It’s the car I wouldn’t complain being in grid lock traffic in. It has just enough performance to keep you on your toes. That exhaust note is fire! Have a C8 Corvette and I’d take the LC over it any day. Truly a gem no one knows about.

[@AlanisKing]

NORI GREEN PEARL. Love it!

[@Barbee2617]

Oh, and my kids barely fit in the back!

[@reclusive78]

Your narration is top notch! Great review!! By the way my guess was 50.

[@AlanisKing]

Ahhhh thank you. 50 is close!

[@judeokoro4536]

On my third one, got the 2018 in 2017, 2020, and 2023, convertible Love the car

[@AlanisKing]

Love that. It’s such a good car

[@nirajpatel881]

Taking delivery of my USB Bespoke this week hopefully...CANNOT WAIT

[@AlanisKing]

That's awesome. You'll love it

[@iwanterniwsky9441]

Most videos about LC500 have more views than actual cars! And of course I have to brag about my LC500... Well I just placed order for my (flare yellow 💛)😊

[@AlanisKing]

That is SO exciting. I hope you love it!

[@ivanjozef6407]

​@@AlanisKingsince I saw concept (in magazine) until now (finally I can afford it) LOVE it ❤ And of course special car requires special color!

[@kmatax9237]

This is the kind of car you get up for on Saturday morning, pull it out of the garage, get a comfy lawn chair and favorite adult beverage and just stare at it…that would be my zen moment 🧘

[@AlanisKing]

Totally agree

[@cardo1111]

Excellent review 👍🏽

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you SO much for watching

[@timw2083]

I have a Flare Yellow LC500, its a true grand tourer. That Ultrasonic Blue in the review is an amazing color and that white interior almost made me sell the yellow.

[@AlanisKing]

Flare Yellow! ahhhhhh

[@driliagor]

Same her. Almost ready to sell my red/tan for that blue /white.

[@Kerleem]

Ah yes, the LC500, the mainstream LFA 😆 It’s such a gorgeous car! I’ve never driven one but occasionally I’ll see one around here in Amsterdam and it stands out so beautifully 🤩

[@AlanisKing]

Mainstream LFA!
