I'm happy for you that Lexus and Mercedes send you superb sports cars from time to time. You get to drive them and we get to watch a great car review, if we don't get to drive them. Maybe Porsche US will notice one day that you're one of the best YT car channel. 🙏

The interior is flat out gorgeous.

[@johntamlyn6383]

Absolutely! And it’s not all in black like so many car interiors.

[@JasonSimonSmith]

Yeah WOW stunning !!

[@DavidKAnderson]

One of my very favorite interiors _ever_...

[@adam872]

You're not wrong

[@Charleywex]

It looked better before the screen. :( But I understand why they did what they did.

[@jimmy-buffett]

As a person who has owned two LC500's -- the second a bespoke '24 convertible in this ultrasonic blue / caramel color scheme, it's beautiful -- I've always wondered who buys this car in hybrid spec. "I want the most beautiful car Lexus has ever built...but without the 2nd best sounding engine Lexus has ever put in a car"? Less than 1% (3 / 371) of LC's in the pipeline right now are hybrids. 82% are convertibles, which can't be hybrids due to the folding top and hybrid battery using the same space. A bespoke LC500H is truly a unicorn. A weird unicorn that would probably sit on the lot for 6 months before selling, but still a unicorn.

[@brandonholmes112]

the v8 is the only way to go

[@simon_969]

Perhaps bespoke cars are built to order so this thing has a buyer already maybe

[@randywl8925]

I don't suppose that car body could be put on a 68 Camaro frame after a little tweaking. 😁 Absolutely beautiful car inside and out, but I'd never own something I couldn't maintain 100 % by myself. It sure looks like a fun car.

[@Orney]

@@randywl8925 lol boomer

[@jimmy-buffett]

@@simon_969 some dealers order bespoke cars for their inventory, but this is a press fleet car so I think this was just corporate showing what they could do. The shame of this specific example is that the main reason most people get a bespoke car is to include some of the cosmetic options that Lexus puts on the Inspiration Edition cars. Like black trim and the IE wheels, neither of which this car has.

[@JerryHenderson72]

The LC 500 is definitely a car that looks better in real life than on film . The colour makes a pretty big difference too .

[@SeanWoolcock]

The phoenix yellow this car comes in is absolutely beautiful.

[@Marc_prime]

How does the green look? It seems almost camo green in pictures, but would be my preference

[@SeanWoolcock]

@@Marc_prime looks like an evolution of the millenium jade the old gtrs used to come in would not be my choice of colour but again beautiful.

This is the GT I'd buy regardless of how much my budget was. Gorgeous, impeccably built, and you can still get a NA V8 (for at least a little while longer).

[@craig2web]

It's not sold here in the U.S. (yet), but the MG Cyberster is gorgeous, and I think it starts for the equivalent of about $50k, and it's electric. Probably my top dream car right now. Bring it to the U.S. MG!

[@mtlee234]

You are 100% right. The V8 version will for sure go up in value cause they won't make a lot anymore. Even the rumor LFA will not have a V8. The most likely formula will be V6 turbo plus 2 electric motors front and rear. That's it.

[@Gritt982]

One of the most gorgeous vehicles ever. It's up there with the 1960s e class. Very pretty.

[@peterkassner3552]

well done... finally somebody with some common sense. Every reviewer of any Lexus has always slagged off the touch pad setup they used, but it is superior and safer than a glossy , finger print accumulating touchscreen. Bastardising that beautiful sweeping centre console that the LC used to have, now with an impractical touchscreen, was a crime. And can you imagine that glossy touchscreen in the convertible? Unuseable.

[@NotNowCato1254]

Agree absolutely. Using a touchscreen on the move, especially on a less than perfect surface, is at best frustrating, at worst bloody dangerous. I understand with some research and effort the functions may be set up to be voice-controlled. If so, it doesn't matter which type you've got.

[@chrislang2341]

Saw two v8 LC500’s yesterday in, MN. Enjoying my SC430 and anticipating my search for a nice one owner LC500 once my mortgage is gone in a few years, the SC430 will remain in the line up too. Another person I cross paths with in the community has a Ferrari collection and his daily driver is his SC430. I really can’t imagine buying the hybrid, still a beautiful car but the V8 is the heart of the artful beauty that the car is.

[@uglybob7505]

This car looks GORGEOUS !!!!! Wee bit out of my price bracket......I drive a Toyota which is nearly a Lexus right ? Right ?????? 🙂 Great video Sarah, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@ごめんね-t8s]

I own this car in Japan. Of course, everyone's living situation is different, but I frequently go to my vacation home, so the massive fuel tank (over 80 liters) is very reassuring. I think Japanese drivers who enjoy this car buy it exactly for that reason. It might seem strange to seek economy in a luxury car, but even if the mirrors or aero parts get scratched, they can be fixed in a day, which is very beneficial for peace of mind. Once you experience that, it's hard to find a reason to drive any other coupe here😇

[@NickHolum]

This is the best review… for many reasons.

[@Peanutdenver]

I like reasons.

[@jimschmidt4089]

Your reviews are awesome. Thank you for having so much fun with them and for making them fun to watch.

[@Scoharr]

Yes the glorious Lexus V-8 engine note is addictive. But the hybrid would be nice to live with when you are stuck in LA traffic, or parking at Whole Foods, or sneaking out the back. Seeing as the convertible is V-8 only, the potential future unicorn value of the hybrid coupe may be a factor. Maybe.

[@davidbaron6647]

Perfect Sarah, 😊 Beautiful car.

[@pierrelafleur3902]

The best by far conception for car presentation. Fantastic

[@michellefoster262]

i hate fake exhaust tips its one of my pet peeves with the current auto industry with fake exhaust noises also where did you get those leather pants theyre fantastic

[@brettatenciorn8522]

Great video, amazing engineering the only thing I do not like is that the front end looks like a hover vacuum, hour glass, black widow, so if you can get past that poison pill then it's great!

[@kevinlyon9501]

Love the interior, though could be a full time job keeping it clean.

[@scottharper9645]

High performance cars get bad gas mileage with in-town driving doing errands so a hybrid version raises the overall gas mileage. A pluggable allows you to drive around during the day, stay within the max battery range, and fill up your car only once every two to three months!

[@kirknewton100]

Beautiful car, but as you rightly say, dating. It's a car to be seen in though. Love the metallic green.

I think I’d love this powertrain. Had a V8 LC500, and though it sounds nice at times, it’s not amazing fast and the 10 speed can be clunky rough. This is odd but a fun hybrid combo. Great review, and great to see one of these in the press fleet!

[@Fluterra]

Lexus is focussed on cost cutting, not like the original focus on perfection. You’ll notice the front wheels (track width) is less than the wheel arch body width. It’s a glaring difference in width! Like the from wheels are too narrow.
