2023 with a CD player and a V8. What’s not to love

Not just a CD player, it's a DvD player. You can watch movies when parked.

Those exhaust tips and brake lights do look awesome. Was funny pulling up behind an IS (surely a different year) at a Walmart gas station some weeks back. Complimenting the owners car is apparently the smart way to go!

I've had my IS500 for two months now, just broken it in and it is always fun to drive and look at. I'm very happy with it and will keep this car for ever. Mine is silver with the stock Enkai wheels, I didn't like the optional BBS wheels you had on your car, which most come with. Great review BTW, keep them coming.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! You captured the essence and character of this car PERFECTLY! This car is for those of us who do not want an electrified or turbo'ed anything. Design and Driving characteristics sets this car apart from other modern vehicles and I'm here for it. The ASC switch is for the Active Sound Control, it's not a dimmer switch for the interior lights. Was that a stain on the passenger side headrest? The white interior is awesome, but I'd go insane with the upkeep. 😀 Finally, thanks for cluing me in on the 'Figure 8' of the stacked exhaust! I like to think I'm the biggest super fan, but that point was lost on me all this time. Nice to know there's something new I can learn. 🙂 Thanks for posting, great video!!

The one exterior feature that I like about my is500 that’s not on the lower models (other than the quad exhaust and hood bulge of course) is the dark chrome window window trim over the regular chrome trim

Cars like this are proof that Toyota could go head to head with the Germans but they're too conservative to really let loose. The IS500 has a fine engine in a good chassis. The interior is fine, certainly better than Infiniti. It needs an update but Lexus seems to stretch out their model cycles. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Imagine if Lexus had turned their F division loose 15 years ago. We could have had M and AMG level cars. Now, it seems like Lexus F is basically an appearance package.

It’s not a true F vehicle merely an “F sport performance”. Lexus has always been too conservative to Rival the germans. Reliability and Luxury come before the performance.

So i coming from a 22 is350 fsport loved the car but throttle lag was super annoying being its a v8 does it have better throttle response not looking for burn outs just better response off a red light

I like that car, the v8, the overall look. Only bad things are that laptop track pad, and the way over the top grill. Hopefully Lexus will move away from the goofy grill eventually.
@ARentz0710 ай бұрын
Most people seem to like the version of the grille on this particular car. I think we'll miss it if they keep going in the direction of their newer stuff like the TX.
