I like everything that the LC 500 represents. It's a beautiful and well-built GT that sounds great and it's classy. It doesn't try to be the fastest, it just sounds amazing and gives you all the power you need.
Nice vid! As the owner of a 23 LC convert and have owned many exotics, this car is incredibly well built. By far the best "super sport GT car" and all for only about 100gs. Can't beat it IMO.
Just received my 2024 Bespoke build LC500 coupe & couldn’t be happier with it. One of the very best cars on the road today. It’s a bargain when you look at the quality & engineering that went into it, especially when you compare it to its rivals. It’s not meant to be a track car, it’s a grand tourer. I see lots & lots of corvettes every day. I like the exclusivity of the LC. It’s understated elegance.
I am the proud owner of a ‘23 LC500 Convertible. The car does everything very well. Superb fit and finish a sexy shape and that exhaust note. Drive one , you will want one🏖️
I agree about the dash aesthetic looking like an afterthought. I have the 2023 coupe and absolutely love driving it. It’s a head turner. Boyz care about 0-60 and gadgets. Men care about quality, class, reliability and let concierge service do everything. $100k is cheap for the quality you get in this car…says me and almost every LC owner and car reviewer!
This is easily the best sport car in this price point by a wide margin. Its unique, you rarely see them on the road, absolutely gorgeous, sounds fantastic, extremely well built and comfortable interior, and oh by the way, its a Lexus so you've got one of the most relaible cars on the road as well...nothing even comes close.
I have one of a few they’ve made in that combo in North America! I love love the blue exterior and blue white interior. I’ve tracked about three that have come to the US.
Not only the looks, but the driving experience is much better on the coupe. The convertible loses a ton of rigidity and it ends up being way too sloppy next to the coupe.
Our 2023 C8 3LT HTC non-Z51 with magnetic ride, performance exhaust, front lift, carbon flash painted top, nacelles, mirrors, low rear spoiler, wheels, and many trim features is the perfect vehicle for sport touring. It’s very comfortable and it looks great with the top up or down. Very fast, adjustable suspension for sport or comfort, attention getting beauty, all for under 100k. We love this car.
Hi everyone... Honestly I'm used to the track pad. It's actually not as bad as what everyone says it is. They only have the car for a day or week at most so they never have the car for a year or even 6 months. I don't like the new design of the new dashboard I prefer the older style with the analog clock. But to save money they can't redesign a hole new dashboard just for the infotainment it will be way too expensive. I also like the previous design of the 21 inch rims. Other than that... This is a fantastic grand tourer it really is. Don't think of it as an expensive Lexus think of it as a cheap Bentley continental, Ferrari Roma and Aston Martin.. This car really punches above its weigh class. Excellent work Ben.. You my hero
Saw a guy getting gas who had one of these. This car is beautiful. With some luxury sports car designs, you either love it or hate . There's nothing to hate about this car. Although I'm a corvette fan, I would not mind driving this vehicle at all. You see vettes everywhere, you dont see these LC500 ever. They stand out immediately. You can help but notice them
I own a black 2022 coupe and I’m not happy with how they destroyed the beautiful glass dash it was with a Toyota touch screen finger print mess . I’ll keep my own and I know how to quickly use the info system and I’m quick at it 😂
This is an awesome car! I own a '21 convert. But I hate what they did to the dash with that touchscreen. It ruins the beautiful dash design in the older models.
i am SO glad you called out the new infotainment display... i HATE the tacked-on iPad look! leave that crap to Tesla and pay more attention to the interior aesthetics...
Finally a wheel design that suits and flatters the design. …needs uptick in horsepower tho. BMW’s 4.4 liter V8 530hp 556torques in a comparable priced 8 Series
Right there with you buddy! Saw one on car guru’s with 94k miles for $49k. Give me about 3 more years and I will be ready. I wanna pay between 38-45k for one hopefully.😅
Some people say that it’s overpriced and I don’t understand why because EVERYTHING is overpriced nowadays. Hell, I never thought I’d see the day a Chevy Tahoe would go for $70K.
The tacked on infotainment looks a lot worse and messes up the interior aesthetic. It's easier to use for sure, but the outgoing infotainment was plenty usable (often exaggerated by reviewers) on top of the fact you barely need to use it in the first place with climate concierge and android auto. I would not swap my '22 LC500 for a 2024, even if it was free in cost to do. Also, the "new" 21" wheels (which are the same as outgoing) have needlessly inverted the black paint to chrome of the old ones and they are a big step down in looks.

@@jonathanmeneses1522 My dealership is Longo Lexus, and yes I got a word that Lexus accepted my specs and order. They will start the build next month.
The black hides the gorgeous lines of this car. Also, the coupe looks way better than the convertible.
agreed- smooth lines need bright colors. black, and dark colors in general, are a mistake for this car and belongs on something with sharp edges
I enjoy the black convertible. Red interior.

GT is the right characterization. Does that very well.
The reason convertibles have that second seat is for, yes storage, but also serves a purpose for insurance, claiming it’s a 4 seater!

The track pad looks like a 90s Compaq Laptop. Looks cheap and dated.

If I had the money I would get this, I'm happy with my IS 500. Hopefully I can get this in 2025. RC F is decent but it will never become an LC.
I drive an ES350 but want an IS500 so baddd. 😭
Do you think GS F is better than RC F in terms of design?
I want that LC 500
Beautiful car! A guy I know traded in his LaFerrari for one.

It's a fair trade-off because the trackpad thingy is just too clunky.
If I got a white/caramel vert I'd want the old chrome wheel design. The wheels on this one works with darker cars and verts with dark tops.
A very Underrated great car
Like the chrome grill make the car look good
“A performance car that doubles as a sports car “? What?
100pct agreed, the original dash so much better design wise, a true future collectable. Production stopped for European market already.

Isn't the engine the same as the one in the IS500?
Yes

@@JoeSmith-nu8oo Engine is the same but it doesn't have the 10speed transmission which is better.
@@JesseB187 Oh okay, I could only afford the IS though. 100k is over my budget LOL
2023 Please 💪
When it gets 100,000 miles on it an that exhaust breaks in will sound really good.
PSA for anyone interested in buying an LC, new or used: Make sure you get the Dynamic Handling Package.
What do you do for a living to afford this
Fantastic car, wish I could get one before they quit making them.

Toyota always leaves massive amounts of power on the table. Plenty of room for upgrades!
So much LFA dna still outside and inside...especially the gauge cluster.
The screen is a complete afterthought

Those wheels are not an improvement. It’s too bad the LC F got cancelled. The line could really use some buzz to keep it relevant.
