- "How would you compare the Lexus 5.0 to the Coyote 5.0?" This question from Daniel Sherrill was asked in the "LIVE Car Talk + Q&A Ep. 53" and I thought it was a great question worth reposting for those that didn't see the livestream.

I mean, the aftermarket support for the coyote kinda makes it the obvious winner.
Lexus problem is the transmission it’s a dinosaur but great overall
Yep. Only the LC500 gets you the better trans.
I have an lc500 the transmission is awesome.
@hamsterbrigade Oh absolutely, and people who say otherwise are just ignorant. The transmission on the LC500 8speed is probably the best auto out there that isn't a duel clutch
@@yay842 not that is bad,it’s just not as great as competitors
@@hamsterbrigade yes but not better than competitors
Got some spam bots in your midst, Matt.
Nevertheless, my vote will _always_ be for the Coyote V8.
After all, my very first car was a 1968 Mustang Restomod. Her fastest run was 11.71@121mph. Mind you, fuel efficiency was a paltry ~9mpg or so. Then again, gas was approximately .98 cents a gallon back then but I digress.
In the end she cost me four girlfriends, two and a half jobs and a COPIOUS amount of money for a teenager back in high school.
And boy do I miss her dearly!
Stay classy my friend.
Thanks for the story Bert!
A Muntang fanboi will always like Mustangs until death.
@@benchmark3332 Quite the contrary.
I disapprove of the new S650 Mustang. Other than the fact that Ford was bold enough to keep a front engine, rear wheel drive, V8 with a *_standard_* transmission in the model lineup. To which I commend them for their efforts.
However, nothing about this new generation screams Mustang to me other than the badging. FWIW, I think this new Mustang has lost all of the heritage we have grown to love.
What was once a drivers car is now a gamers car.
Stay classy my friend.
EDITED for grammar.
I had no idea this question would stir such controversy when I asked it last week 😅
I mean, one's in a luxury car and the other is a muscle car. They don't have the same purpose.
The Coyote V8 is fantastic, but something about a Japanese V8 seems audacious and timeless.
If that’s the case....my apologies, but I’d still never buy one over the Lexus.
Both are amazing engines. Personally I think the Lexus 5.0 sounds better, it has a European scream to it that I like. The coyote is more of a deep rumble & a bit raspier towards the top. Coyote is the easy choice if your plan is power, those things make ridiculous power if you just look at them the wrong way.
Listen to a rcf with headers sounds just like a mustang 😂
@@drunkpolack7612 they don’t sound anything at all to my ears, headers or not.
Cmon Matt…the Ford definitely isn’t as reliable as the Lexus.
The Coyote V8 has been proven to be very durable and reliable, they'll do hundreds of thousands of miles easily.
@@MattMaranMotoringNot to mention the fact that with stock internals you can push close to, if not 1000HP no issues. Truly PROVEN bulletproof engines.
Not raggin on the Lexus 5.0 because to me it’s just a Japanese version of the coyote, but thier is no evidence to prove that the Lexus is any more reliable than the coyote. If anything Thiers more proof to the opposite simply because Thiers so many coyotes out thier compared to the Lexus being far less production numbers. Nothing more than the inflated myth that Toyota builds the most reliable vehicles, ask some new tundra or Tacoma owners how the feel about reliability when Thiers been trucks needing new short blocks under 20k miles or tfl breaking the front diff the first time out in the mountains. All manufacturers can have good and bad, tired of the same ol “Ford sucks cause my buddy’s mom had one”
@@dom_not_torretotedesco5707 the correct spelling is their not thier.
@@steelheader2543 😂 resorting to correcting spelling? Tell me how you got wrecked in the comments without telling me how you got wrecked in the comments.
Coyote V8 easily.
Wait, we are comparing Ford to Toyota....give me a break!!!! I am not that much technical auto guy but what I do know is Toyota (Japanese) automotive engineering makes Ford, in any category, look like a pretentious novice!! I would never buy a Ford anything, over a Toyota anything!
I love the refinement of Lexus, but you can't beat those power gains even at similar reliability (although I would argue Lexus is a little better)
