@Cavelier Ugo StellaI wish Toyota kept that same mentality with the supra mk4 as what Porsche did with the 911, they kept the same style for almost six decades
Well it's very useful. It forms a nice ramp to launch those pesky careless pedestrians all the way over your car so they won't damage your precious engine. I heard that when the pop-up hood is triggered, the windshields washers and wipers also become active.
HowToCarGuy I'm at Lexus of Maplewood, Minnesota. Owned by Village Auto Group. We own the only two Lexus dealers in Minnesota. One of our first buyers of the LC at my dealer is going to drive his LC all year round up here with all season tires in the winter. Kinda crazy! But i guess he wants to get his money's worth. I'm excited for the all new LS500. Got pushed back because Toyoda tested it and said it wasn't ready for release yet. Just had the corporate training for the future of the company. Pretty awesome seeing the factories with the virtual reality goggles!
+Jared Olson WOW! All season tires on an LC500 - I actually think that's pretty cool! I wish the LS was going to be ready by December to Remember... I'd rather have it right than in a hurry though. I actually missed that training! I heard it was really cool. Feel free to shoot me an email anytime! brockfrady@gmail.com
This car is awesome, Lexus pays a lot of attention to interior. I don't know why but I like RC back design more than LC... There is a RC next to a RX in the video with the same color of LC
+Good Life Whoa! That's awesome! Thank you for the feedback and please let me know if I can answer any questions for you! Brock Frady Flow Lexus of Greensboro 336-217-5400
it's a nice car indeed - but LC does come from Luxury Coupe, just as IS comes from Intelligent Sedan, RX from Revolutionary Crossover, LS from Luxury Sedan and so on. The gear knob at 2:25 was mounted on the wrong side - how is that even possible?
do i order this from the company or ask the dealership to order it ? do I order that from the company and have them ship it to my local dealership and pay them a commission to collect it ?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I have worked for Lexus for 13 years and I am around these amazing machines every day!!! I am at Flow Lexus of Greensboro in Greensboro, NC. Thanks again for the kind words and I hope you'lll come back soon! Brock
Very in depth and on topic without being boring - nicely done! You mentioned what LC means but do you know why they ruled out naming it SC? Would have thought they'd want to give a nod to the SC400 and its legacy.
i remembered jaguar or Aston Martin a few years back having a hood that would deploy up for pedestrian safety....this is nice wasn't sure if it'd be six figure worthy but it just might be
You should have tagged FLOW Lexus of Greensboro. They seriously have the BEST customer service - before and AFTER the sale. Handled my recent recall issue incredibly well and I would recommend them to ANYBODY in the market for the most reliable safe and sexy luxury car.
Gear knob is mounted wrong way round. Crazy thing is it's not even first time this has happened on LC's used on YT videos. Reason is possibly that on cars used as demos with many people sitting in them knob is removed temporarily. Whoever puts them back do not know how they should be mounted.
that only make sense to some old rich ppl. when they have limited time on earth and they cannot take their $ with them. example ; Jay Lino or Clint Eastwood etc...
I might get a lC500 6 years later , after all the depriciations ,and drive it for a year and sell back to the market and dont have to suffer big finacial loss.
Id be so pissed if someone set that off. Lets be honest most likely its a dumb ass walking not paying attention w/ their face in their phone. Meanwhile your charges just got blown, and the doofus just walks off. OMG id be furious.
Over 100k and its slower than a Boxster S to 60! Hint first and for most a sports car is suppose to be a sports car. Not look like one but actually drive like one. The new E43 coupe is going to be faster and come with a nicer interior as its taken from the current 43. At a lower price , faster speed and nicer interior one has ask "why can't Lexus make a sports car? Hint the well off in Japan drive German cars for a reason! Imagine that!
The "well off in Japan drive German cars" because they are imported, and therefore usually viewed as more prestigious. Actually this brand boasting in a way gave birth to the Bippu style; Japanese mobsters were getting too much attention as they rolled around in their Benz and Bimmers, so they started using their domestic equivalents which happened to be big Toyotas (or what we called Lexus models here in the States). Now, back to this car, I'd take this over the E43 coupe because this LC will spend more time on the road, and waaay less time in the dealers repair bay.
HalfBreedMix By that standard you should buy a Lexus SUV. See the MT review. At over 100k it should be faster than a 50k BMW. It has 10 gears with 3rd being 89 mph. Exactly what do you do with the remaining 7 gears? Top torque is hit at 7100 rpm meaning it's not only slow but painful slow until you hit the highway. Lastly if you know anything about Japan you know that Gangsters don't define auto trends given they are 1 in 1000 such car buyers. See the reviews of this cars performance. Its slow with no braking or steering feedback. Another failed attempt to make a sports car from Toyota.
Steve Jovan...Reall, well Gawd dam why in the hell does anyone buy anything other than Mercedes. Geez Lexus designer's should have just talked to you 1st. Lol.....give it a rest there turbo! Lexus did not bench mark MB or Porsche. That was on purpose by the way. WHY! So guys like you would continue to make stupid observations about cars.
Constructive criticism: Please stop using gratuitous wording of "actually and basically". These are fluff words even though, the masses use these words to seem intelligent. I think you do not have to prove your intelligence, your subject topic has already proven this.
I test drove the LC 500 today and I can tell you that for $100k and 4 seats, I was NOT impressed. Why? 1) Poor resale value 2) No sunroof 3) I hate the Lexus computer Automatic Trans shifter because it physically does not move. Also to park, you have to visually find the P button in the console. Then to put it into drive, I can't feel the D, I have to visually see on the dash that I moved it into P and it's a weird movement in which I have to move the lever left then move it down. 4) No Apple Carplay. 5) If you're gonna have 4 seats, my head should not be hitting the back window. 6) Weird that there's 2 color stitching 7) Cupholder with a water bottle blocks a/c controls 8) Radar detector cord must be long and drag all the way back to the cigarette jack in the center console, just in front of the back seats. 9) No flat bottom steering wheel
Better then all the German luxury coupes
Better than German luxury coupes and much better than American luxury coupes. It's LEXUS!
@Cavelier Ugo StellaI wish Toyota kept that same mentality with the supra mk4 as what Porsche did with the 911, they kept the same style for almost six decades
yes
this thing is gorgeous. i hope they release an LC F
hypno159753 with 550-650 hp 😁
3:17 that idle sound is just brilliant for a stock exhaust!
I know! I am amazed that this exhaust is coming from a Lexus!
3:30 that shifter looks different from the rest of the videos and the official LC internet page, why?
@2:57 the samurais sword was called a katana. its not two different things
My dream car.
+enemay Me too! What color would you get??
red or black
black!
@@HowToCarGuy I would get an infrared red
he deserves a million subscribers
+American Thank you! I'm working for that now!!! I appreciate the kind words!
Actually, a Katana IS the sword of the Samurai. They are not two separate things. But interesting tidbit, and GREAT review!!!
The tail lights are shaped like the lexus F concept also. They are mostly hand made at the same factory the LFA's were made at.
I knew some of this but the pop up hood! Crazy!
I know! Pretty awesome stuff!!! Thanks for stopping by!
2006 Honda Legend has a pop-up hood. Nothing new.
The concept has been around for years, Lexus aren't the first to do this.
Hence my comment.
Well it's very useful. It forms a nice ramp to launch those pesky careless pedestrians all the way over your car so they won't damage your precious engine. I heard that when the pop-up hood is triggered, the windshields washers and wipers also become active.
2:55 ...a Samurai sword IS a Katana!
Really nice car and design, and once again you done a great job Brock
Thanks
Thank you so much! I am truly glad you liked it!!!!
Brock
other good points are that the odometer will move based on the drive mode and even the rivets on the door have the Lexus logo in them. Beautiful car!
We've sold 4 so far at my dealership. Got a white one on the show floor at the moment. Hope they make a LC F in the future
I think the LCF is on the way, my friend! What Lexus dealer do you work at?

I see these all the time at the Lexus dealership I work at. they're absolutely magnificent
Did you know....I cry myself to sleep at night because I can’t afford this car. 😜😜
I'm crying with you 😪
Don't cry. If you want it , just buy it. I bought one from autoart , I should be receiving it soon !
Don't cry, depreciation is the Force that is on our side. May the Force be with you.
Great Job Brock. I like this style of video.
Thank you so much! This video style is really fun to make! I really appreciate your kind words!
Brock
This thing is a rolling concept car 😍
I really want to see the pop up hood in action, it's hard to imagine.
This car is awesome, Lexus pays a lot of attention to interior.
I don't know why but I like RC back design more than LC... There is a RC next to a RX in the video with the same color of LC
I saw that too. I think that RC is the F Sport too.
this car is totally awesome....the rear bumber is so sexy and those tail lights are one of a kind
Amazing car. So beautiful. Love it
I went to get some service done a few weeks ago and you guys had it all locked up in the glass room. I was so sad I couldn't get close to it! :(
definitely worth the 100k!
Booo no
Such a great car!!
+paekshin aa8673 Yes it is!! Thank you for stopping by!!
HowToCarGuy Thank you always for great review Brock!! Your channel is always very informative and fun to watch!!

I cant wait for the LC F, tho, the LC F should be a two seater.
it's a nice car indeed - but LC does come from Luxury Coupe, just as IS comes from Intelligent Sedan, RX from Revolutionary Crossover, LS from Luxury Sedan and so on.
The gear knob at 2:25 was mounted on the wrong side - how is that even possible?
what happing to the wing that pop up on the rear trunk???
Is it just me or is the shift knob on this car backwards?
do i order this from the company or ask the dealership to order it ?
do I order that from the company and have them ship it to my local dealership and pay them a commission to collect it ?
2006 Acura RL has a pop-up hood.
You deserve a ten million subscribers and likes and your videos are epic
Pop up hood is on numerous cars where the cylinder head is too close to the underside of the hood.
sooo..... whats the dougscore?
This car has a soul!
Great video and such a beautiful car it's my absolute dream car right now. Btw how did you get the opportunity to do a video on this car ?

How does this car cope going over steep driveways and speed bumps?
Very nice. And very in depth. Thanks for sharing.

+Nick d That's awesome! Lexus has needed to break into the 6 figure segment for some time now and I think they did it well with this one!
HowToCarGuy oh yeah... i think people will pay six figures for this it does look to be a quality product and it's absolutely stunning
Wow I bought s lc500 6 months now and didn’t know a damn thing about it. Thank you
Lexus LC 500 what a masterpiece I want it so badly.
What is the name of silver car on right side besides the pillar? at 4:53
It's a Lexus RC 350
What means IS?
Great question. IS stands for intelligent sport.
@@HowToCarGuy thx man👏👏👏
This guy is great !
Great video. Love this car.
my friend have one this car is on another level

Performance package should have Vented brakes
Michael A.L The brakes are vented and they are standard. I think you meant cross-drilled.
thanx for pleasure sir 🖒🖒
love you and your job that you do for us..
this is a real beauty
What a car and what a review thanks
great video you just got yourself one more subscriber :)
2nd gen LED DRL, nice !!! I have always thought these lexus DRLs should be a straight bulb and not tiny bulbs along the strip.
+Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Absolutely! I've been waiting for these for a long time! Have you seen them in person??
Subscribed ✔️
Ditch the glasses 😅
INSANE!
the shifter is backwards! Sato-san would not be proud. lol
well heres ur big fat thumbs up
Awesome!!
nice tan!
The exterior design is better than LFA, but LFA's V10 engine is better than this V8 engine, so if this car had an LFA's engine, it's perfect.
Gear knob is mounted wrong way round. Crazy thing is it's not even first time this has happened on LC's used on YT videos. Reason is possibly that on cars used as demos with many people sitting in them knob is removed temporarily. Whoever puts them back do not know how they should be mounted.
I'm buying this car this year in flare yellow when i hit the lottery no cap
Awesome car great review. Rather have a Lexus any day than a European luxury car.
My dream car also.
Darn it's sexy! But this car would cost around 300K in my country. I could build a house with that much money...
One thing I know is i can't afford it.
1:58 The shift knob is on backwards.. hahahahahahaha!
That was my fault....
If I buy one LC , my bank account is empty but if I buy a Prius Prime,I can still buy 20 other toys to play with.
+Baidu Mel Very true. But then you'd have a Prius and not an LC500.
that only make sense to some old rich ppl. when they have limited time on earth and they cannot take their $ with them. example ; Jay Lino or Clint Eastwood etc...
I might get a lC500 6 years later , after all the depriciations ,and drive it for a year and sell back to the market and dont have to suffer big finacial loss.
My next car
I was wondering why I have those under the hood on my car. Now I know 😅
Yeh, don't sit on the hood!
😃
u didnt know this cost 175k USD in Philippines lol
brock freddie sound suspiciously like rob ferreti
Shifter looks like it's facing the wrong side
They have to give you something for your $$$ .
Lexus's got the answer to mercedes
I need this car r
i dont really see the added value of the engine making so much noice that you have to speak louder whilst doing your story :/
Fantastic info I don't think,you are a waste of time!!!!!!!
Tell me things I don’t know about the RCF.
