You think so ? Have you ever driven it? I talked to a car guy recently who said it drives like a boat. It’s also a GT car so people would be cross shopping other cruisers.
I wouldn't say it drives like a boat, definitely a very sporty feel and a car that can handle track and mountain roads with ease...not sure why he thought that...I'd definitely disagree with him.
@@omichaelnato5388 yes I have and it’s a GT car not a track car! But mostly I was talking about the exterior styling. I didn’t say anything about performance.
I like the wing but not the air dam and side cladding. I think the car already looks great without the extra cladding. I'll take it in a heartbeat though.
It is a great GT luxury halo car as long as one understands that is what its design and target audience is. Having driven it on the streets, it does great at that.
Lc500 interior looks better with TouchPad because the screen is built into the dashboard. I wish they did that with the newer models but I know it's not possible
If I didn’t buy a brand new Camaro 2SS 2023 I would’ve definitely considered a used LC500. Japanese quality is unmatched. But I love the Camaros sound, the pops and crackles is just priceless!
Look around at vehicles on the roads and you'll spot a lot of cars that expensive. If that was a goal of yours to have a car like that, it takes patience, hard work and being smart with money. Budgeting and saving goes a long way.
It can be accomplished by anyone who puts in the dedication to be smart with money, budget and make small goals to achieve the bigger goals down the road!
LC 500 gets all the attention but RC F never gets it, which is really unfortunate because RC F feels way more driver focused than the LC 500, having driven both. LC 500's biggest downfall for me is the TNGA-L they had to cram a ton of bracing to hold this vehicle up. RC F chassis itself is built like a tank. Also there's a flaw in the frame, "Clublexus Spontaneous frame crack". Yep, Lexus really screws their top cars. IS 500 has bumper sagging, RC F lost it's interior dash, TVD and bracing. If anyone wants to get LC 500, the Coupe is the best with Bespoke build, 120K that's the best way to spend money if one wants a real GT Luxury car. Personally, I like RC F more, it's more of a Sports car and a true performance car, built from the ground up, the only F car left in the Lexus stable and probably the last F model.
Honestly 4XX hp NA from a 4300 lb car is kinda ehhh. If they would have made it 500-600 hp, it would have been way more competitive. This is just my opinion.
@@leojohnwayne1422 Fully agreed. Toyota/Lexus reliability, but you can get that with just about any of their models. You are getting an old school V8 with a rumbly exhaust and a track pad to your dated navigation. A 2018 to 2019 should be like $45K tops.
Well this isn't a nimble sportscar. It's a GT sportscar. Also given the price and exclusivity, of course this is no match for an LFA. But given it's style, big engine and interior, it's a cool LFA inspired car

It's definitely a cool coupe!

It's a great GT car, one of the best I've owned to date.
Certainly a very cool option to go with!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks brother, hope one day maybe I'll add a Gallardo like yours to the stable.
Thanks for the great content, always.
Be safe.
not a fan of that aftermarket spoiler/color matching kit, but that LC is gorgeous at heart

Sweet!
How much did you put down what are the payments

Even the newer model screen is nicely integrated though.
Good review 👍. You hit the key points to why the vehicle is special 👌
Appreciate the kind words! The LC is definitely a special car!
The only thing I would change immediately are those exhaust tips.
Yeah!
One of the best looking cars out there 👌
It's a nice ride for sure!
If I didn’t buy a brand new Camaro 2SS 2023
I would’ve definitely considered a used LC500. Japanese quality is unmatched.
But I love the Camaros sound, the pops and crackles is just priceless!
This is my dream car. It’s perfection. Stock form though. Not a fan of any of the aftermarket parts this one has. I’d grab a red one 👌🏼
That would look good!
$130,000 CAD plus 12% tax in my province plus luxury tax on vehicles over $100k. Definitely nice affordable car for the masses 😂🔥😂🔥
Wow, not even close to the US price.
That's much cheaper by 20k usd
Gorgeous car, lovely sounds! However it’s downright criminal to have a manual trunk opening at this price point.
Yeah you'd think it would be auto
Your second video on the lC500 nice
Are dealer might get two or three a year, so have to film them when they arrive!
Definitely has a sweet sound with the NA V8!
Sure does!
And for those that cant, you can get a well kept Lexus SC for 10k and throw an exhaust on...
Gorgeous
In what fantasy wonderland is a $100,000 car affordable?
You may want to consider changing your headline.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Cool !! Waiting for that.
I could afford it but I doubt it's big enough for me and my dogs to comfortably live in.
Depends on the size of the dogs lol, but yeah not a family friendly vehicle, but that's with any coupe.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I have a coupe now just didn't have to sell my house to afford the Civic. I absolutely love the LC. I appreciate the great video.
Needs to come in a manual

I could see that, but this drives so nice and the power delivery is great!
Calipers are never red from factory.
Don't remember if I said that, but it's a nice color! Cars do come with red, just depends on the brand and manufacture.
It's very nice but overpriced imo
What should it cost?
Depends on the year, but on average $10K - $15K cheaper. It's older tech and cant match like priced performance.

Fine with my phone getting connected to Bluetooth that’s all ..
Not paying 100k for a car that doesn't even make 500hp.

@ No not really actually.
Name a car with that power that holds its value and is very very reliable for the money and is rare.
Camaro zL1 next
We've had a few go up this year!
113 inch wheelbase is too long to be agile. LC500 shares its chassis with the LS series. The LFA wheelbase is 102.6 there’s no comparison.
