Ya Lexus likes to make stupid little mistakes like that. Every year it’s something small and stupid. Makes you say, “wtf Lexus what we’re you thinking we’re you high?”
@@justinnegron4843First off, "extremely expensive" is a relative term. Going with LED turn signals wouldn't affect the price much. Also you have to remember that the cheapest version of the IS is $39k. This isn't an IS500 issue, it's an IS issue.
i find it strange they decided to go incandescent on the rear turn signals rather than just full led across the whole vehicle. Overall though, it's one of my favorite cars to have recently come to the market.
Idk why manufacturers still do this you pay 90kAUD for a car that still has incandescent... and i hate the led signals at the front but non led at the back its just dumb
It's a shame Australia doesn't get the IS 500. The IS F prices have gone up nearly 50% the last 18 months as well as the RC F and GS F. Keep this car as it will maintain its value forever!
lexus was recently told to stop production of the lexus IS, RC and GS in australia since crash safety tests werent up to standard and lexus wasnt bothered fixing the issue, thats probably the reason why the is prices have shot up so much
Small sedan for sure. BMW is not done with V8 sedans though they pledged to keep making them until 2028 I believe, in the form of V8 turbo + hybrid in the upcoming M5
lexus said this is their last varient of the 5.0 V8, they're moving on to putting that 3.5 turbo in the tundra/LS500 into their cars that suppose to have the v8 variants
Yeah I used to cold start a straight piped cammed and the rest zx10r in the early hours, I never needed to drink coffee in my life... 200kmh+ every day rollercoaster to work lol
Your wallet will thank you and you'll enjoy being able to drive it all the time :) Plus cops don't ever look at you because you are now Catherine/Bob from accounting. Most of them have no idea it's even got a v8
yeah man welcome to the club. you'll stay even longer when you find out they might not be the absolute fastest, but not far off, AND they are MUCH more reliable than the bmw/mercs/etc that you compare them to. They're better built really if you want to get down to the black and white. Best part.. most of the parts are toyota prices.
I'm sure it's not out yet, but definitely get the Invidia Q300 catback exhaust. I have it on my RC-F and it's the perfect balance between a fiery v8 and the comfort/luxury of a Lexus.
I went to Ray Catena Lexus in Edison Jersey and they were asking $25k above the MSRP for this same car. So the total price of the vehicle was $95k. Totally not worth it!
why not led turn signals, it drives me nuts. It looks good has led brake lights but they couldn't spend a bit more money and develop led turn signal bulbs for the car?
Same V8 engine to all these models 2007-2014 Lexus IS F (USE20) 2015-present Lexus RC F (USC10) 2015-2020 Lexus GS F (URL10) 2017-present Lexus LC 500 (URZ100) 2022- Lexus IS 500 F-Sport Performance (USE30) 2016-present Toyota Hilux Dakar Racing Truck (T1)
I actually prefer the bulb turn signals, they look much more luxurious and have such a warm and soft glow when compared to the harsh and abrupt LED's of today.
I decided to change my turn signals to LEDs and tbh I kinda miss how they looked before. My car isn't as modern looking as this one, that might be the issue. But on the plus side they are WAY brighter now, I used headlight LEDs and put a yellow cap on top of them. They also may be too bright, gotta see how much they last, it's been 8 months since I did it :]
Yes I did, the instant acceleration never got old, neither did the pre-heating & pre-cooling. But the lack of sound and always worrying to charge when the weather dropped below 15 degrees was tiring.
Nah the rcf v8 which is prob the same engine here has always disappointed in terms of sound. Lc500 sounds much better but that's reaching super car territory
@@mez6256 If we're going to be technical about it... They designed the cylinder heads, valve system, and helped design the block in the mid 2000s. They also helped design the 2JZ, the 4.8L v10 LFA engine, and most other Toyota performance engines. Its their specialty. Its a good partnership.
You can tell the Lexus styling is the same language as the 2020 Hyundai Elantra. Granted the Hyundai Elantra was the one that moved towards the Lexus edgy styling. It seems that the role model for the Korean brands are: Hyundai => Upper European namely German = VW, BMW, Audi styling ques Kia => Upper Japanese and mid European namely French = Lexus, Renault and Citroens
Nice car dude, watching this video I caught a weird bug though that showed me your license plate lol. Not sure if it's a youtube blur but if it is they need to fix that lol. Just a heads up
So annoying these aren't available in RHD. This car was pig ugly when launched in 2013, with drivetrains suitable only for 78 year old Doris who needs to get to the shops around 10am every Sunday. Look how far it's come! What a car!
Love the color and the rims on it. It's weird to me that Lexus didn't put in LED rear turn signals. I guess that's an easy swap to clean it up.
Ya Lexus likes to make stupid little mistakes like that. Every year it’s something small and stupid. Makes you say, “wtf Lexus what we’re you thinking we’re you high?”
@@fatboynip right. Then they say it's for cost cuts but this car is already extremely expensive.
Same with the RC 😂

its literally a $2 fix and you'd have the brightest LED's on both turn signals.
i find it strange they decided to go incandescent on the rear turn signals rather than just full led across the whole vehicle. Overall though, it's one of my favorite cars to have recently come to the market.
I fully agree. So cheap the turn signal is. Make the car looks $20k less than it is.
Idk why manufacturers still do this you pay 90kAUD for a car that still has incandescent... and i hate the led signals at the front but non led at the back its just dumb
Wonder how much they're saving on a per 1000 cars basis. Probably not much.
@@sn5837 Probably more than you think. The cost is not just the bulb/assembly, but the tooling, supply chain, etc.

It's a shame Australia doesn't get the IS 500. The IS F prices have gone up nearly 50% the last 18 months as well as the RC F and GS F. Keep this car as it will maintain its value forever!
It's a shame Europe doesn't get the IS at all. Ridiculous even.
Nice

I gotta say Lexus really took over with this model.. it’s so beautiful at night and day time …. And it sounds amazing !
Even though there should be led turn signals at this price range, these ones remind me of my childhood, it has a retro and nostalgic feel
Sounds sweet! IS500 not available here in Europe. Soooo jealous ☹️
Maybe I will have to import one one day
yeah same with the is350
man i want one so badly. this might legitimately be the last v8 sedan to come out
Small sedan for sure. BMW is not done with V8 sedans though they pledged to keep making them until 2028 I believe, in the form of V8 turbo + hybrid in the upcoming M5
@Vq37 hr twin turbo, sure. But NA V8? Try again. I believe the IS500 is the only luxury NA V8 sedan that’s currently in production.

Interesting! This is one of the first Lexus IS500’s I’ve seen in Canada! Almost all of the videos on RUclips are from the US.

@@callang9 kinda on the same page with you there
@@callang9 How come? I'm curious about both - newer tech with same engine is a win isn't it?

@@eastoakland-S65feen I have a hard time believing there won’t be an F version eventually, but it’s up in the air in all honesty
No way they’re still producing high powered NA 5.0s when every other company is receding to turbo 4s and 6s. This might be my new favorite brand

These are selling like hot cakes I guess it goes to show how Toyota has a high demand for their performance division.
What a beautiful car. I would’ve gotten this exact speck myself, any plans to modify it?
Yes, probably a valved-exhaust in the future, some tint, basic things. This is my work vehicle.

This piece of gem puts all kind of AMG and all kind of BMW to bed.
Nice Launch Edition 👍
Love it. Sounds just like my GS F(yes I know same engine).
I’ve been a BMW guy for years, mostly “M” cars. My neighbor owns one of these plus drives the hell out of it, no issues whatsoever.
I would rather drive a 2020-2022 m340i than the is500
Keep the videos coming, love to see much more. Congrats on the purchase!
Thanks!
Beautiful car. I'll buy one 10 years old in 2032 lol
ahh that little crackle on the start is awesome! My 07 Ls has a heavy modded exhaust and I still cannot achieve this! Looks and sounds great!
Awesome car happy to see customers getting them.
Straight piped new headers my neighbors gonna hate me 😝

I wish they would’ve just made this an ISF. I have a 2010 ISF and would’ve loved to get a 2022 ISF

@@bvedant no they literally said this isn’t the isf because they will possibly make one for the future and want it to be better than this😭

Fantastic! You took the vehicle on the day that I was off! Congrats on the new Vehicle. Let me know when you wanna trade it back in to Us!

Dream car!
2022 real luxury, extraordinary choice !
Beautiful car. Ignore jealous haters, haters going to hate. Most important is that you enjoy the car 😁
Technology will advance, but the the V8 will remain forever.

None available in my state. You lucky bastard.
Holy hell that’s awesome
starts car in the morning :
neighbor : officer i would like to report a gunshot!
What a beauty, damn
launch edition too, nice
Sounds clean asf!
FOREVER LOVE LEXUS 😍
Sounds like my hairdryer
Makes that same exact little exhaust snap as my GS F. Dying breed for sure, V8 cars... I'll keep mine for a long time.
how do you get it when it hasn't been released yet
OMG IT'S 2022 WHATTT I JUST REALIZED
Sounds fantastic
beautiful color
why not led turn signals, it drives me nuts. It looks good has led brake lights but they couldn't spend a bit more money and develop led turn signal bulbs for the car?

If only we got them in the UK,thanks lexus😮💨

I was expecting a louder sound similar to a gen 3 coyote (with active exhaust)
Wish it was a bit louder too
Is this not stock exhaust im pretty sure she’ll open up a bit without cats or resonators
the 5.0 from lexus sounds much better,much more rafined and raspy.

How in 2020 does it not have led turn signals? They did the same nonsense with the GS it baffles me
I wish they offered awd! The floor hump on the USA driver side is so dumb tho
