Hey mate, if you like Lexus I have a few reviews of them, including the LC500 and the new UXe (as well as driving it from 100% to 0%). If you have time to watch it I would love to hear your thoughts :)

[@sly9263]

Doug gave the new Acura NSX-S the same score for styling and that thing has a dollarstore interior with an abundance of cheap black plastic all over the front. I'm sure it's hard for him to keep his ratings consistent as they're completely subjective. He gave the 2000 BMW Z8 a 10 in styling, lmao, the only vehicle I saw on his site that he ever gave a 10 in styling to. The LC is a 9 if not a 10 in styling, easily- he just uses 10 as a somewhat "unachievable" metric/rating, at least for style.

Just like how the mk4 supra didn't sell well, this thing in 20 years will skyrocket in value cause it's one of Toyotas last v8's

[@marcos45923]

I've always thought of this as a spiritual successor to the Supra, well, before we got that weird z4 thing. Disappointed that we won't get to see a turbocharged, performance oriented version of the LC.

[@kiariowhippin]

Marcos Fernandez this is in no way the new Supra it’s a luxury v8

[@marcos45923]

@@kiariowhippin Well, like Doug said, it's not definitively a luxury car. It's somewhere between performance and luxury, which most high end sports cars are. In my opinion, the styling and design language of the LC500 is very reminiscent of the Supra, at least the mk4. It's understated, but carries an edge of sportiness to it. What sealed the deal was hearing that they were going to release a turbocharged model of the LC. And if a powerful, turbocharged GT car from Toyota doesn't scream "Supra," I don't know what else to tell you.

[@henryrodgers7386]

@@marcos45923 that's almost precisely what I thought. "This is the Supra's big sister". It's kind of big to be super-sporty, but a highly optioned Mk.IV Supra was a pretty nice car. A shame they attached the Supra name to the Z4, as opposed to a re-badged LC-F. That would have been pretty cool. To me, the LC coupe just... feels more like a Supra, somehow.

[@farbodniazi6504]

@@marcos45923 I like it lot more as a NA. I don't want turbocharged on these cars they're not track cars they're not about acceleration numbers they're about having fun. If u want a track car u get a 911 GT2RS but when u want pure fun u get the GT3 this car is supposed to be the GT3.

[@afrosheenix]

[@KB-bh9hp]

The only good looking Toyota/Lexus in the last 20 years. Yes, I'm including the LFA. The LFA sounds great, but the exterior design is just ... off, like it looks slab sided and fat, there's not a lot of passion to it for a carbon fiber 400k supercar.

[@sebces2576]

Jalen Dangerfield

[@alexmartinez280]

Puff the Magic dragon LFA has to be seen in person to see how amazing the design is. A Japanese Berlineta in the super Sports car category. Better than Ferrari V12 berlineta bc it’s a GT but way more super sports car that Ferrari tries with their V12 cars. Ferrari would benefit if they sifted up the drive and steering of there GT cars and save the nervous steering and hard ride for their limited versions. You want to encourage drivers to choose the V12 for long drives or daily drives and current batch leave them exhausted from the drive and also the crazy drop in value from just using the car. A used FF or Lusso is the great buy bc amazing V12 but way more affordable and usable. 612 is my darling for a gentleman daily over the 550, and I LOVE the 550. The 612 design is the best modern Ferrari period and will slay future car shows when the return to timeless design returns to glory over aggressive boy racer designs. Look at all the multi million dollar classic F cars and all are design like the 612. It also has the best sounding V12, full four seat layout, classy interior and glorious exterior dressing the first full aluminum space frame. It will be my first Ferrari if I don’t go with a two seat 550. The Luca years were the best IMO after the golden 60-70s.

[@alexmartinez280]

LFA, Eunos Cosmo, FD RX7 and this new LC500 are the best best Japanese designs. First gen NSX should be added too if I had to pick 4.

Lexus have never actually made a car true to this segment though, like a Toyota GT 86 or Subaru Brz they're just ricer cars as stock. No actual speed or street cred just look like they should be fast, a ricer as stock. The 1980's Supra Celica or Celica would turn in their graves, yeh they've made a new Supra as good as the 90's one but with help from BMW. I'm 39 and remember when Japanese car manufacturers actually made good cars of this segment, there was probably more Supra Celica's, Celica's, Supra's and MR2's on the road in the UK than Corolla's and Camry's in the 80's early 90's. I grew up thinking Toyota made good sport coupé cars but was let down by the time I could buy a newish one, the last few decades they've been as good as a Chrysler Crossfire cough cough.

Copyright isn't the issue here, there's lits of great copyright free music, also he doesn't need to show himself while testing the systems.

The one advantage of the mouse pad vs touch screen is "no finger prints" all across the screen detracting from it and being forced to constantly "wipe" the screen all the time. I bought a Lexus RC F with the mouse pad and honestly, I've gotten so use it, I prefer it. No having to "reach out" all the way to the screen while driving. My right arm is in a comfortable position on the center arm rest and my finger naturally falls right to the mouse pad. Get use to it, and you'll find it's "not that bad" like so many "one time reviewers" make it out to be.

[@seankurth4371]

Personally though I'd buy high-end Toyotas until Lexus sorts out the infotainment. I've tried it in real life, it's even worse than Doug says, because the LC has the most up-to-date version. The other Lexuses have even worse versions. Toyota has much more usable, better-looking tech. And the interior gap between Lexus and high-end Toyota isn't that big. When you buy an Avalon instead of an ES, or a Highlander instead of an RX, you're getting just a little bit more leather, but what little more leather you get is still nice soft-touch plastic in the Toyota. The Limited/Platinum Toyota is so close to the Lexus that Toyota's better tech bridges the gap IMO, Toyota interiors have come a long way in the past 5 years. Lexus is planning to fix that though: Lexus has known for a long time their tech is terrible and they want to fix it. They're very aware that a 2007 LS has a better infotainment than a 2020, and they're not proud of it, but they threw so much money at the failed mousepad system 10 years ago that they had to get their investment back first. They were stuck with it for too long, but they're not anymore. The RX just got a touchscreen as a stopgap, and the whole terrible system is going to be replaced in all Lexuses in the next few years.

I'd owned an SC430 for 16 years. It was a dark green with shiny Foose wheels and I got a lot of compliments, but it was underpowered and kind of a wimpy design and was starting to show its age. When the LC convertible arrived, I began lusting, but balked at the price tag, because, and this shows my age, it cost more than my first house. But my wife convinced me that I should get one, and I am now fortunate to have driven one home two days ago. I had looked at many rave reviews like Doug's, but I bought it without even test driving it. First of all, let me tell you this: you cannot possibly appreciate how beautiful this car is in Infrared until you see it in person. IT. IS. SIMPLY. STUNNING. No photograph can come close to what it looks like in the sunlight. My car was in the showroom, and it looked awesome there, but then they backed it outside into the sunlight, and my wife and I stood there literally with our jaws open. Even the sales guy did the same thing. I have a hard time describing how that incredible red paint highlights and accentuates the gorgeous lines of this car. It is breathtaking. I can't stop looking at it. It is a total work of art. If you buy this car, I implore you to buy it in Infrared. I had seen it at a dealership in white, black and gray. Still beautiful, of course, but the Infrared takes it to a level you cannot believe. The family members I've showed it to have all had the same reaction. "Oh my God. That red paint is incredible. And the lines on that car. Holy cow!" They all stare in amazement. Even people who don't give a rip about cars. The exhaust note is as amazing as all reviewers have described. If it does not put a big ol' smile on your face when you floor it, then you must be dead. Driving this car is an absolute joy. Sure, it ain't a true sports car, and it ain't the fastest out there, but that's not what I wanted. The combination of luxury and a naturally aspirated 471 HP engine have been combined by Lexus into an absolutely beautiful automobile that is beyond a pleasure to drive. Plenty of power, and looks beyond compare. PLUS, they aren't selling a lot of these babies, so you'll likely be the only kid on your block driving one. If you can afford it and are thinking about getting one, I cannot recommend this car enough. Yes, the infotainment system is definitely a weak point, but don't let that stop you. It is a true masterpiece of engineering and art. You will be impressed. Thanks, Doug, for your fine review of this vehicle.

This review makes me smile. Nothing like a purchase that pays you back the way yours does. Looking forward to buying my car in a few weeks.

Well said. Such an amazing work of art.

[@Jonwayne777Iloveyouall]

I know it might not seem like much but over my phone and watching your show that is the best exhaust I've ever heard on this show

[@Mattisttam]

Love the interior quality. Unmatched by any other automaker at this price point.

Lexus 5.0L = 470hp Alfa Romeo 2.9L = 540hp Maserati 3.0L = 630hp lmao at that underpowered piece of trash

[@Mattisttam]

@@ivangamer8022 which is why I only specified interior quality 👍 other than that its not worth it for the money... secondly Maserati and Alfa Romeo are absolute garbage but worth it if you like spending your free time at the dealership.

[@ivangamer8022]

@@Mattisttam lol you are a brainded soyboy. Alfa and Maserati are around from more than 100 years and have written the history of automobils meanwhile

[@jeremyperez4792]

@@ivangamer8022 yea but that doesn't mean they made a difference in their reliability. Horsepower is not the only thing that matters about a car. The total package matters so why don't you grow up a bit from the only fast matters mentality. Definitely do not have to call someone brain dead over something that actually holds alot of factual evidence behind what they said. This car is amazing and I know because my mom owns one. I Doubt you can even afford the cars you listed which are above 100,000 along with the lexus.
