I just bought an LS500, and I didn't realize the Mark Levinson was an option, I figured being a flagship it would come with the best sound system standard. The base sound system isn't bad, just not what I thought I was getting. Other than that, I love this car.
That Ride is Bad Ass. The temps for seats, etc are automatic through the Concierge. The car reads your body temp via IR sensors. It allows you to not mind it while you're driving. This car with all of tech and features is only a little more than a POS Hellcat, nearly half that of Mercedes or BMW. Yet its more thought out. If you can afford this car, you will find nothing to complain about.
You can't get the Panoramic View Monitor on the AWD F-Sport. You can get it on the AWD non F-Sport, the RWD non F-Sport, & the RWD F-Sport, but again, not the AWD F-Sport. MANY options are withheld from specifically & only the AWD F-Sport like air suspension, performance package with rear wheel steering, adaptive swiveling headlights, the advanced Lexus Safety System +A package, and many many more.
"Best value in this segment" Sorry, but not even close. That 88 grand you mentioned doesn't include nearly all the available options, which can easily run you to 115 grand like in Doug Demuro's video. The best value in this segment remains the Genesis G90, which tops out at 75 grand and includes all the features of its rivals, barring massage seats.
@@kennitodevangavani891 I see them here and there now in North Carolina. They still lack the styling of the old ones. They use to have a bold/rich/more grand appearance on the highway, ESPECIALLY from a rear and side-view perspective. The new ones, not so much...
Um yeah, there is nothing on the market better chiseled and shaped than this car. No Ferrari, No Lamo, nothing. Every piece and shape is interesting. You don't have to like how it looks but you have to admit, there's a lot of great work here and it is cohesive to a single design language.

Today Oct 12 2024 is the 1st I saw one of these in the flesh. It was a 2018 black
Just got one; 2018 LS500 and I agree with your comments totally. But I got the luxury package.
Beautiful car ♥️💯
Thanks for fair review
I like the color combination
there is a seat button right under the trac pad.
I love my Lexus ls 😊
Does the AWD version have the bump near the gas pedal on the driver side?
Yes
What price of this car 2022 ? 2018

Isn't this car anti-android as well?
Android sucks

It is ugly... omg
@Johnson Taylor lmfao
@Johnson Taylor you're right the car is absolutely beautiful.

Lol. I can afford it so it’s beautiful.
