My 2020 LS500 is a great performer. 0-60 under 5 seconds and quarter mile in mid 13s. Twin turbos make terrific torque at low rpms. This car will put you in the back of the seat like no V8 LS before it. 10 speed is terrific. Optional luxury interior is unmatched. Quality + reliability

[@pinkbear57]

Just picked my new LS 500 up and loaded with everything… I’m 37 and have had many nice cars including Lexus GS’s … I’ll always come back to LEXUS … most comfortable, reliable and quality vehicle out there! If you’ve never owned one you can’t say.. I’ve owned Mercedes, Maserati, VW… everything and nothing will compare…

[@oliverpuselja9505]

The LS is so underrated. It has an MSRP of 78k and you get a lot for you bang. This car is so reliable and will last you easy 20 years with no major repairs.

[@davidmagen415]

I have a 2022 LS 500. It is superb and worth every penny🏖

[@gbj400]

My 2008 LS 600h L with the executive seating package is the most comfortable car I have every driven! I won't ever give it up!

[@AutoAcademics]

Nice. Thanks for watching, Gregory B. Jones!

[@Mabeylater293]

How many miles and what all has gone wrong?

[@RyanDoonan]

How is the 08 Lexus there is one that I am looking at it’s 460 with 137k miles

[@davidmagen415]

I have a 2021 LS500. White interior the car is a rocket🌞

[@baldheadlogic]

Hey Chris. Great Review. This is a very fine luxury car that will last a long time. The Longevity is what separates this car from the S Class, 7 series, A8, etc.

[@AutoAcademics]

Very true, canonlybeme4life. If you want to keep it for a long time, this will do the job. Thanks for watching!

[@2Aqua1]

Well, just one word: “ exquisite “! Seriously! I live very close to a Lexus dealership & see customers visiting and driving mostly ( SUVS ).. For the person or couple who loves to drive to the Country Club or weekend beach house, this car seems to fit the bill.. I mean they probably have a nice retirement package too( financially speaking ) .. Thanks for your review, Chris!👍

[@AutoAcademics]

This is a fine luxury automobile, J Joseph Thomas, for both the country club and the drive-thru. Guess which one I went to. 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@2Aqua1]

@@AutoAcademics I think you would fit in well at any establishment, Chris.. Although, I think you’re a better fit for an IS350 F Sport .. Well , any F Sport!

[@terenceoheany8045]

Most comfortable ride is my wife's 2015 LSL . The 8 cylinder engine is quiet, responsive and smooth as a turbine. The interior is spacious like a limo and the ride dreamy. My son is driving my 2013 LS 2015 FSport and his wife has my wife's 2008 LSL460 These cars are very reliable, safe and free of problems. I have a 2019 LS500 which has the responsive 6 cylinder biturbow engine. T O'Heany MD

Excellent presentation young man! I Lexus!

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Such a beautiful car!!!

[@AutoAcademics]

Yeah, it's not too shabby, AbsoluteMdot. Thanks for watching!

[@nubfishin9152]

Trunk space is kinda lean for a vehicle of that size, but its a pretty minor issue considering the entire package. Great review!!!

[@davidmagen415]

I have a 2021 LS 500. It’s terrific w AWD

[@AutoAcademics]

Nice! Enjoy your car, David Magen, and thanks for watching!

[@williammccabe5420]

I would love this car !!

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, william mccabe!

[@oldsnwbrdr]

This (hybrid) and a C8 convertible are my dream garage.

[@AutoAcademics]

You'd be all set with those two, oldsnwbrdr. I wouldn't mind having both (or either) of those in my garage, too. Thanks for watching!

[@jeremiahbanks4175]

Great minds think alike.

[@telliesmith9825]

I always liked the LS

[@AutoAcademics]

It's a nice car, Tellie Smith. Thanks for watching!

[@darryljackson7600]

Told my wife, you're determined to keep drivin those Germans! The Brits aren't shit too! This is your BEST auto car manufacturer! EVER! Not perfect! BETTER!

[@AutoAcademics]

Ha! And what did she say, Darryl Jackson?

[@jasonalpha]

Love your review. Can you get rid of the flickering on the DRLs for future reviews. Well done otherwise

[@ericmotion4488]

A 21st century Lincoln Towncar is a good comp for the LS 500. The most comfortable I've riden in recently was a 2015 BMW 535i. 9:50

[@AutoAcademics]

I actually prefer the driving characteristics of a 5-series over one of these, Eric Hampton. But if I'm a passenger, especially one in back, I'll take this LS any day. Thanks for watching!

[@keithbowers5255]

i love my new Lincoln continental

[@meavyhetal]

Is this the return of Chris??👀

[@AutoAcademics]

LOL Close. More like the ghost of Chris past since I recorded these reviews prior to my surgery. Still need a few more weeks or so before I can manhandle a camera again, but I'll try to keep you entertained and informed until then, Charlie. Thanks for watching!

[@meavyhetal]

@@AutoAcademics stay healing my friend!

[@tyjohnson2492]

Very nice, but you better be rich and have a driver lol.. Anyway great review 👍🏽

[@w0bblyd0inkb0ink]

Middle hump = RWD, all RWD sedans have it regardless of manufacturer.

[@patrickbradshaw2346]

Love ot

[@6806goats1]

Would have t go with my 2014 LS460L AWD. No Exec seat but everything else. MSRP in 2014 was $102K with shipping. Picked it up in 2018 with 10,070 miles for $46k. Cashmere gold, parchment and bamboo wood. My dream car but then I'm in my 60's now.

[@AutoAcademics]

Nice. Enjoy your car, 680goats1, and thanks for watching!

What does a driver's car mean

[@eyang7]

as much as i want a lexus ls500, i have to move on to a man's vehicle, a truck!!!!

[@AutoAcademics]

😅 Thanks for watching!

[@kennyphillips5153]

Ls500h makes much more sense than a Tesla

[@thebluvdone]

$105,000.00 There are plenty of cars that I would buy before a Lex for that amount definitely.

[@AutoAcademics]

You definitely have a lot of choices once you get to six figures, Barry Payne. And that's the best part! Thanks for watching!

[@Rabid_Turtle]

Bought one with 18K mikes for 57K

[@xavierwashington4820]

But the amount of money your spending on maintenance, repair bills, having to take the car a lot more frequently to the dealer. This car is worth the price tag lol. If you don’t got the bread just say that lol. Just because you wouldn’t get it doesn’t mean it’s not worth the price tag. Mb and Audi and bmw offer, a flagship large sedan and this literally competes in everyway and I’m pretty sure this is maxed out in options a base s class is running u around the price of this, so 🤷. I rather have a luxury brand vehicle that is absolutely gorgeous inside and out, loaded with all the luxury features a human can need, apple car play, huge screen, more sensors than a bank vault. Cloud 9 driving experience, the road presence and exterior design. And it’s a vehicle I can own, a vehicle I can keep for 10+ years, head ache free outside of wear and tear items and regular maintenance. And the power train I’m sure is Toyota which is why it’s going to be reliable and much more cheap to maintain, which you can’t say that about the competition. And no I would never take this to a Toyota dealership, regardless of it being mechanically Toyota. It’s a very very expensive and complex vehicle that I would never let a express lane or a even the main shop at Toyota touch, I work at Toyota and own a Lexus. I would only take this vehicle to Lexus. Even if you have money, ownership cost, drastically changes your perception of, what’s worth it.

[@user-vg7id8xw7o]

Not amabint light 🤮

[@AutoAcademics]

There might be a little bit, but I honestly can't remember. And it wasn't listed on any of the spec sheets. Thanks for watching!

[@paulm6481]

Too sad it has a junky V6 instead of that smooth V8 they used to have. And they want 105,000 for a Camry V6 with so,e turbos, right. I take a Yukon Denali with 6.2 liter V8 for less money and lord over this low rider. Sure enough this LS will die and there won’t be a next generation. Garbage. Good review though.

[@AutoAcademics]

So, how do you really feel about this car? 😂 Thanks for watching, Paul M. P.S. - that 6.2L is lovely.

[@paulm6481]

@@AutoAcademics Here is an alternative, Genesis G90 with smooth V8. Or Chrysler 300 with HEMI. Or a Mercedes with a V8 or BMW. That is if one wants big luxury sedan. If not V8, I go with a Tesla model S.

[@Rabid_Turtle]

A HEMI over a twin turbo V6 Lexus? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ClassicXL86]

Denali 😂😂😂😂
