- Edmunds gets a First Drive of the all-new 2018 Lexus LS 500.
Take a spin in the all-new 2018 Lexus LS 500 with Edmunds Senior Writer Mark Takahashi to see if this fifth-generation evolution lives up to expectations. The previous LS was praiseworthy for its comfort and craftsmanship but was knocked for its dull driving feel and slow acceleration. The new LS maintains the best parts of its predecessor and overcomes its drawbacks with engaging driving dynamics and an appropriate amount of power for a car this size.
The old V8 has been replaced by a 416-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that is both more powerful and more efficient. It's paired with a 10-speed automatic to make the most of all available power and the differences are telling. The new LS 500 can now mount a challenge against the German sedans that are renowned for driver engagement without affecting comfort. There's also the LS 500h hybrid model that goes without the turbos but adds two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack for a combined output of 354 hp. It's estimated to achieve 28 mpg combined, 4 mpg better than the LS 500. Mark says the LS 500h is the way to go since the difference in power is negligible and both models have impressive handling. He even hints that it can actually be fun to drive.
As expected, the interior is impeccable and all-around comfort is commendable. Taller drivers and passengers might notice a lack of headroom, however, so we recommend spending a decent amount of time inside if you test-drive one. The biggest complaint is unfortunately one that Lexus has not addressed with the redesign: the infotainment controller. As Mark put it, "It's probably one of the worst systems, quite honestly." For technophiles, it could very well be a deal-breaker.
Otherwise, the redesigned 2018 Lexus LS is a significant step forward and there's a lot to like about it.
Q: When will it go on sale?
A: Sometime around February 2018.
Q: How fast is it?
A: The LS 500 is estimated to reach 60 mph in 4.6 seconds (1.5 seconds quicker than the previous LS 460). The hybrid LS 500h should reach 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: Pricing hasn't been officially announced yet, but it should start right around $75,000 for the base LS 500. That's just a few thousand more than the 2017 model.
Q: What kind of options are offered?
A: There are all the typical safety and convenience options available, along with an executive rear seat add-on that gives the right-rear passenger accommodations that rival what the front seats offer.
Q: What are its main competitors?
A: The less pricey Genesis G90 and Lincoln Continental are strong rivals with the new Lexus LS. Of course the more expensive German sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 can also be considered.

Everyone voicing their displeasure... I'll give a vote of confidence. I like this guy and his low key delivery. I don't need someone yelling at me the whole time.
Cory Stansbury While I do think his delivery can use a bit more confidence (he sounds a little bit nervous even if he isn’t) I agree with you.
I like this guy. the online domain really needs some calm and composed people like him. too many reviewers nowadays are jumping up and down with loud voice and animated hand gestures as if they're entertaining kindergarten children. reviewers used to be focused on facts rather than trying to make too many silly jokes and references.
He is quite a professional guy and knowledgable.
TFLcar ripped this new LS as did Everyday Driver guys. Consumer Reports ranks the new LS last place in segment with a 52 out of 100.
What else do you need to tell you this is not the sa e as the old LS's?
@@normt5463 I commented previously so this is an update: This month marks 23 years with my '98 LS400. Still an elegant daily driver.
I can tell this gentleman is an accomplished engineer that knows his sh*t. I respect and admire his opinions on vehicles. He seems honest.
He's reluctant to praise this car the way it deserves. Lexus is THE car if you want luxury without any hassles of ownership.
godfatherNYC I know it's killing him to say not have some shit to say about it
He drives tons of different cars. He speaking objectively, not as a fan boy.
Detail cleaning that car will be a lot of fun. With all of those weird nooks and slots. So many weird shapes.
This is exactly what i wanted to see. Everyone else is covering the more op models but this is what i was considering.
I'm so proud I bought this vehicle. It's so well designed and finely crafted. I love driving it.
Finally an honest review. I like this guy. It seems like a lot of commenters here are Lexus fanboys who cannot stand a constructive criticism.
I'm considering jumping the LS 460 and just getting this. Currently in an LS 430 now and love it.
Lexus has the crown!!!
Lexus LS flagship is sinking to last place against the competition.
this guy is so fly with his purple shirt
Unlike the other ignorant comments on here, I'm glad he was critical. What's the purpose of a review if you can't discuss the faults?
@japanwatchconnection neither does the new Korean luxury cars. Japanese are once again bringing up the rear.
Nice review.Beautiful car.I had a 95' and have regretted it since I sold it.$7500 rebates on the 2018's now and am seriously thinking about grabbing one now.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Love this reviewer. I appreciate the detail he points outthat you mightnot notice at first on a test drive. Great work!
You should see Everyday Driver as those guys will be you a better perspective on the LS500h.
Good review,across the board honest evaluation.
Great review. Love the car
Good review very comprehensive and entertaining joyride
Beautiful!
Great reviewer 🙌🙌
I love this car. Luxury also means quality and long term reliability. As far as I know Lexus reliability is unmatched.
I love lexus ls500 my dream car...his voice insane...
Is it me or is this guy reluctant to give Lexus praise? But doesn't hesitate to say what's he think isn't good? While also quick to say what other cars do better? Quick to say what the Germans do better but never says what Lexus does better then the Germans.
I'm really sick of these reviewers not giving Lexus the praise it deserves. This car is second to none in the class. That design is stunning in person.
Toyota4Life Calm down bro. Asides from reliabilty Lexus LS isnt class leading in anyway. Mercedes S-Class owns this class of cars. The LS is fantastic dont get me wrong, but the Germans (led by the S Class) rules this upper echelon segment
Toyota4Life aside from your assumed reliability of this car (uncertain because this is a brand new turbo engine from Toyota instead of its reputable v8) name even one thing this car does better than it's competition from bmw, Benz, Audi or cadillac.
Karun Chendrimada I agree with you that this Lexus isnt anywhere near the top of the class, but in fairness the perceived superiority in reliability comes from Lexus' history of making near bulletproof cars. So I wouldnt challenge the reliability claim. They have that locked.....based on history.
Toyota4Life the rear side profile of this car looks the same as the Honda Accord, you know, the one you bitch about and call a hatchback but yet you're praising the Lexus for the same design.
Justamazon 33 you're right, but to my eye, that c pillar and rear quarter panel look like a new Buick to me
nice review .
Nice review thanks for not brown-nosing lexus and for telling us it’s faults. Faults NEED TO BE CALLED OUT: NOISE, STIFFNESS, TERRIBLE INFOTAINMEMT, STIFF STEERING. LEXUS SHOULD NOT GET A PASS!!
I like this guy!
Good discerning review... Luxury buyers are nitpicky and look at details just like this reviewer... helpful for the person actually considering lexus.
Yes, this LS fails too. With the lowest Owenership Satisfaction rating of 51% from Consumer Reports subscribers. Percentage of owners who would definitely purchase that same vehicle again. Owner-satisfaction Ratings are determined by the percentage of those who answered "definitely yes" to the question asked by the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had to do it all over again?"
Lexus is always on the top spot for reliability. What kind wizardry do they do in the Lexus factory?
ruzzell907 Well I work & build one of their models & the secret is............
ruzzell907 high level of engineering that why their reliability is the highest
Lexus's main plant in Japan is a world leader in manufacturing. They don't mess around. Got an award for least amount of defects than any manufacturing plant in the world (not just cars).
Jo Blo
Well styling is subjective then. Because for me, Lexus has delivered on styling since the very beginning of the brand and still stands true for me today. Great styling and extremely reliable (relatively speaking compared to other brands), low maintenance. Comfortable, great performance. Only small downside that Lexus cars for me, some of them don't handle as fun in corners as some competitors (Acura/Honda/BMW).
The LEXUS TEAM takes true pride in making their vehicles, especially the LS model, the very model that shook the luxury world car market back in 1989.
They LEXUS TEAM members do not drag their feet into their top notch facilities every morning, let alone being inefficient while working in them, and they have an unparalleled attention to detail, the trait which usually linked to loving your job. In order to have the privilege to work on LS model, every worker must pass various tests. They're then assigned to MASTER technicians, who are the best of the best in what they do.
Facilities have the most stringent rules and requirements for assembling vehicles. You could easily walk around in white socks without worrying about making them dirty. The Tahara plant, where LS model is assembled, is a one of a kind, state of the art facility, with such meticulous and diligent conditions, rules and requirements, that no other world assembly facility comes even close.
I love it ❤️
This Car And The Lincoln Continental Are One Of The Few Cars In This Segment That Doesn’t Look Like They’ll Be Bought To Chauffeur People.
A pinnacle of craftsmanship and artisanship, which can't be matched by any other luxury brand manufacturer.
Here, my beloved LEXUS TEAM accomplishes something that is extremely hard to pull off, which is to make a model with an attractive design, solid handling and fun to drive and, at the same time, while try to preserve all the elements that, at the end of the day, matter to a great majority of car buyers, such as reliability, dependability, comfort, resale value, as well as the smallest depreciation possible, which have all been the trademark elements of LEXUS, and out of reach for any other luxury brand.
That being said, you haven't seen nothing yet. The LEXUS TEAM has much more excitement to come in the coming years. Just watch.
This is how the other half lives!! I could live in this car...
My new automotive best friend.
Really love the look of this. Lexus is pulling an Audi where they perfect the grill as time goes on. Like the direction Lexus styling is going
This is one of lowest rated luxury vehicles in the segment today. Back to detailing your Civic!
My guess is that you can get rid of the piped- in engine noise by switching from sport to comfort like some luxury cars offer.
You can dial it down using a control to the left of the steering wheel just like my RC.
No one has hated that damn spindle grill more than me, but I have to admit to me this new LS is the only Lexus ever that this grill looks good on. Honestly, I love this LS. Its beautifully bold and well thought out design and excellent twin turbo V6 make it more than competitive with the Germans, maybe even preferable, from a price and reliability perspective. Nevermind the overweight, unresponsive hybrid trim, I'd go for the F Sport trim with RWD.
best in class
While this LS is a dramatic change from the previous I'm not sure it will be enough for the S560 or upcoming A8 which is gorgeous.
wave runner the A8 looks boring the new S Class doesn’t stand out
Have you seen the 2019 A8? The interior is absolutely STUNNING. I'm not a fan of Audi in general though. I love the LS. I have a late 90's model and it looks timeless and classy.

japanwatchconnection bullshit. Any used LS is a better buy then any used German luxury car.
Does it have driver massage seat as well? Also hope they add touch screen. Even cheap cars have touch screen. Why this 120k car 20 years behind in tech?
There is a button "ASC" to turn the engine noise down/off
sidewaysrussian - closing the sunroof makes it noticeably quieter as well. Road noise, that is.
zellerized + are lexus offering a new LS with sunroof delete? That would be best all around comfort/maintenance/passenger headroom .🚗
I thought the speakers were folding mirrors
Mark, I always enjoy your candor with each of these reviews. I have to agree that the LS 500h would also be my choice in a luxury sedan.
The LS is the worst choice today with last place rankings in Consumer Reports rankings with a 52 out of 100.
I don't care what he says, this car is Awesome
This car ruined the LS line. I’m 6’2”. I cant sit upright in the back. I can’t have the front seat in my position and get into the rear seat without turning my feet sideways but somehow the car is slightly longer than the pervious long wheel base LS460L. How did they do that? The arm rests on the doors move side to side if any force is applied to them. Everything feels cheaper than the old LS460.
Where did Brian go?
THE MOST RELIABLE CAR IN THE WORLD. LOOK IT UP. They will last 400,000 miles. Other big luxury sedans last 180,000 MAX MABY...LOL more likely they only last 140,000...lol
123bigred Lexus in general makes the most reliable cars with evidence to back it up
123bigred reliability is one of the numerous quality of Lexus.
@japanwatchconnection Considering there are multiple examples if you care to use google, yes that is still the case. Plenty of forum posts detailing that. In fact the ISF which has the LS460's motor has been documented well past the 340,000 mile mark with nothing but basic maintenance. Yes they are still as reliable as they have been as long as one services them.
@japanwatchconnection i have the lexus ls 500. its at 50000 and i am 100% sure that it will last 400k
@@d1sturb3d119 not sure that Lexus from a decade ago is for sale brand new today.

Nice car. Too bad they sell literally only one every month in all of Canada.
This gentleman is truthful I have the Lexus 460 L AWD and the BMW 750 I L X drive and there are things I would like to take out of the BMW and place in the Lexus . Such as twin turbo 8 cylinder , BMW navigation with heads up display , BMW extra seat extender and the BMW cool and hot seats buttons BUT the Lexus is much more comfortable, much more dependable and for $10,000 the lexus is the better of the cars for rear seat passengers
what happened to EddieX
I didn't know you could kick-close the trunk as well as open it. The engine noise is too much. I liked the quieter shifting much much better. The room in the cabin is disappointing. A lot tighter than my 2013 600 h L.
How do you like your 600hl?? I'm thinking about getting one in a couple years
Once I get my car accident settlement I’ll be having to choose between this and the Audi A8, will be tough granted I know Lexus will last me many many years.
Hope you go the LS.
So Bolo is doing car reviews nowadays?
I thought it was a good review, got all the important new features highlighted. Don't understand the hate.
What are u talking about? The Hybrid does come with a sacrifice...it's a whole second slower 0-60mph.
Plus the Hybrid is loud and unrefined. See Everyday Driver review.
Lexus’ taste on the interior seems better than Mercedes to be honest
the reviewer needs to review cadillacs (grandmamobile).
Bro you complain too much. Review the car. Stop talking to the camera like it’s your wife and your explaining it to her. This is an elegant vehicle. The design is well done.
Mark, would you say that Lexus LS500 is clearly a better product than Genesis G90?
Craftsmanship? Hyundai's are more reliable than Toyota's these days. The data proves that.
Attention? Germans are running Genesis. All the key people at Genesis and Hyundai are German. From Engineers to designers to the president of Genesis himself. Yes it is a Korean company and they have the final word but the guiding force is German.
Herc Zeus hyundai's are more reliable than Toyota these days? That has to be the funniest shit I have ever read on the Internet 🤣😂😂😂
Two days ago I saw a guys Hyundai Ioniq get towed on flatbed with temporary dealer plate still on, at a school parking lot. Sure Hyundai makes some good cars compared to yesteryear, but they still have lot of quality issues as their vehicles age.
you make it sound like german cars are reliable.... you should really leave your cave and actually look at reality. hyundai's more reliable than toyota? now that a laugh. thanks for the joke. hyundai are good car for sure and can be quite reliable (at times), but more reliable than a toyota is just wish talking. and would you mind show me what data you got that shows that hyundai are more reliable than toyota? because "data" you found in a cave really isn't that "reliable".
michael duong Then Toyota should offer a longer warranty that the Koreans.
I did not get much from this review. Nothing about the motor specification/performance.
Wait Acura was the first luxury Japanese brand to come to America ?
Pure Life yeah Acura was the first japanese luxury company back then. Toyota and Nissan saw how good they were doing so they came out with Lexus and Infiniti. But Acura fell off big time, if Honda had capitalized on their early success and invested heavily into Acura instead of using rebadged hondas, Acura today would be compared to merc,bmw,Audi instead of Buick lol.
@@Fadic4 both Lexus and Acura are not more than Toyota+ and Honda + today. They are the Buick of near-luxury with Consumer Reports not recommending most Acura's and the Lexus LS getting a 52 out of 100 with the lowest Owenership Satisfaction of 51%.

I can't get with the Front end design. yuck. Other than that I'm certain it is a great car.
if I am going to buy a car it will be a 2010 Toyota Avalon
It need fog lights
Yes it is. It's overly done.
"There's" is not a grammatically-correct substitute for "there are".
What an underwhelming review, I fell asleep.
Lexus has done a great job with this LS, excellent car, fit and finish on par, if not better, than S-class and certainly BMW 7 series.
It is quite a step to offer only a 6 cilinder engine however, but an excellent one it is.
The car looks far better then the dull 7 series and A8.
hello dude if you need sport car drive a sport car......its lika eating a bannaa and comparing witha stake
Is d guy serious or joking
The cool features that he seems blah about due to having already seem them on another car that stole them from an older LS or Toyota Century.... This person is not car savvy and should stick with reviewing hybrids.
It's bland ...but I'd buy it, for reliability 😉
I fell asleep during this review.
1970HondaCL100 maybe stick with empty entertainment like The Grand Tour then.
1970HondaCL100 very boring initial impressions. He's not detailed, it seems from the beginning he was just looking for things negative to say like he's a German fan instead. This new Ls has the best interior in its class bar none right now. He didn't even talk about the glass options available and all the various interior colours and two tone configurations available. The seats are the most comfortable and have the highest adjustability compared to all the Germans and he said the rear seat controls that are touch to be the same as the front? He just wanted to say negative things, he's a terrible biased car journalist.
1970HondaCL100 I agree. Seemed like he had a grudge against the car while doing the review. I really liked his review of Lincoln Navigator, but this was bit too much of blah-blah- blah, rather than a professional review.
Samson Okoro bar none? Have you not seen the new Panamera, A8, and 7 series? The LS interior was striking to me when I first saw it cause it's so different, but now it just seems cluttered and overstyled. And that all black interior does it no favors.
It has various colour interior options, there's two tone colour combo available plus a mix of several other normal colours. Search online u'll find others and when it's released there will be more options available including white. This has the best interior in its class in my opinion and that is cars that cost between 100-140k.
I love this, but I think the S class might be one notch above this beauty.
The hybrid in the Ls500 and the LC 500 is horrible and slow and sounds terrible Lexus made a big mistake with the hybrid putting a CVT with the hybrid and it does nothing for this beautiful stunning sporty elegant appealing Luxury Car Lexus needs to re-engineer the Hybrid for the LC 500 and the LS500 , because no body would want to drive them or buy them sounding that bad with the fake gear shifting of the CVT Lexus these Beauties Need a Hybrid in the engine compartment the CVT is killing the performance of the car it’s too slow and sounds horrible, and It going to cost sales problems
Thumbs DOWN to Lexus starting 2007+
He's known for complaining about EVERYTHING.
Just the other day, I extensively test drove this vehicle and was extremely impressed by it, *EXCEPT THE MARK LEVINSON SOUND SYSTEM, which is the WORST I have ever heard, especially for older music. It is HORRENDOUS with badly balanced sound, overwhelming and inaccurate mid range, and horrid, resonant, tinny bass*
By comparison, the Nakamichi system in my 2000 LS 400, blows this system out of the water. This sound system is not even as good as the 4-speaker system in my cousin's Toyota Corolla!!! It is _THAT_ bad! Also the JBL sound systems, I listened to, in the new 2019 Toyota Avalon Limited and the 2018 Camry, are simply FANTASTIC!! (tested my music on them).
The vehicle itself is EXTREMELY QUIET with literally no ENGINE AND EXHAUST noise below 3000 RPM in *COMFORT* mode. (a *huge* improvement over the LS 460!!!, and back to the DEAD-SILENT, LIBRARY-QUIET days of the LS 400 and LS 430)!! And, in the same comfort mode, it maintains the neck-snapping engine responsiveness and acceleration too, which is an added bonus!! Ride comfort with the air suspension was pretty good too with the *19 inch wheels* - The 20-inch wheels may not be as comfortable!
Sadly, the sound system may be a deal breaker, unless a way can be found to change it out, without destroying the vehicle's ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL system, which makes it so silent.
Not a big fan of this reviewer
Koo Joon no one is. He's not terrible, but not exciting or unique either.
I think he did a fine job pointing out the faults of this car.
Japanese American reviewing a Japanese car !!
Koo Joon me too I think he could care less about that Lexus bet if it was a Benz he would be all over it
I hate the bullshit nag about the tech features in this car (or any other luxury brand)! If you can't handle it then you're in the wrong car or got the wrong job! Get your shit together!
The short pauses...in almost...all of his...sentences...are ever so irritating.
I don't like the Shrek horns.
Fishnet in front looks ugly.
Please don’t do another review on a car ever!!! He complained about everything smh!!!
The chrome on the rear lights is ugly af
I've had an LS for almost 20 years. Both the exterior styling and some of the interior designs are literally offensive to the eye...at least to my eye. Engine noise is not something to be celebrated. It's intrusive and I don't buy cars of this type to hear machinery work. I think Lexus may have lost its way. Perhaps they are trying to attract more juvenile money.
I agree, wholeNwon. We're long-time LS owners, too. But this GHETTO SNEAKER of a joke car will NOT be getting a bay in our garage. It looks like something marketed to the buyers of Air Jordans, and the new TV commercial seems to bear that out. Cadillac was really an excellent car, but became untouchable, because of its reputation for being the car choice of undesirables. Lexus seems to be heading in the same direction. I don't want to drive a Mercedes. But the new LS SLEAZEMOBILE is basically forcing us to consider Mercedes.
Then buy a tesla. Lexus's sells a hybrid version. Buy that. The car is built to appeal to different drivers and hence has drive modes. But the hybrid, keep it in eco mode and quit your dumbass bitching.
@@megaswenson Absolutely NOTHING will "force" me back to any German vehicle. Today I drove my '98 LS400 to lunch with friends. It is elegantly styled both inside and out. It does not look like some child's transformer toy, if that's what they are called. As usual, it was silent, smooth, comfortable and entirely capable on the highway. Perhaps some day Lexus will make a vehicle that will tempt me away from my old LS, but not yet.
You're too far from the steering wheel.
Good reviewer. But is the car so low to the ground, it will be impractical to drive in the real world? And what about SAFETY? Frankly, we were in the dealership recently, and didn't even realize this was the LS. It looks like that sleazy "sporty" thing they've been making for a few years - 'GS"? And that's the thing: IT LOOKS SLEAZY. We drive LS, and have done so for a decade. So, we ARE "the market". Last night, I saw the LS new commercial on TV. It was really sleazy and insulting - obviously aimed at a very low-IQ group. Even low-IQ people would perceive that the car is now made for low-IQ people. We really don't want to move to Mercedes, but Lexus is getting so GHETTO, we may be forced to switch marques.
Well then take your elitism and shove it. Your generation is dying out for a reason. Lexus doesn't want to appeal to morons buried in a coffin.
So this LS is aimed at... Low IQ people?? And is becoming Ghetto??? Hmmm I think I have a feeling where your mindset is at. Go sit in a damn corner with your ignorant ass.
Stop the debate about japanese n german cars. First, german car is a pos. 2nd, german is a pos. 3rd, german car is a pos. 4th, resale value is a pos for a reason. Only rich and ignorant folks buy german cars! U only lease that pos. Popular products does not mean its best bang for bucks!
This car is pretty underwhelming. Saw at the auto show this past weekend and it really had no presence about it. The exterior looked so.."normal", like any other Japanese car priced lower (except the front-end which looks pretty decent). The interior looks pretty cluttered, unlike the very clean presentations of the S-Class and new A8. All the swoops and dimensions and textures in the interior just makes it look like Lexus is trying way too hard. The instrument cluster looks crowded and the Shrek-ear controls stalks look awful. Quality seems okay, but not nearly as solid as the Benzes and Bimmers to be honest. Actually, I felt the same with the LC500 - when I shut the door twice on that car, both times, the door rattled a bit. And the interior of the LC was very underwhelming, making me very skeptical of all of the journalists who have drooled over it. To me, this new LS just doesn't have a sense of grandeur that a large flagship Tier1 luxury car should have. And, yes, this guy needs a few shots of espresso before he makes another video. (accidentally deleted my first comment, so re-posted so the little children can make their same childish comments).
i mean clearly so far no one agrees with you. i "have" also been in mercedes s class, bmw 7 series and audi A8 before. THE NEW ONES TOO! and the door sounded cheap when i closed it "twice", the interior wasn't built as great "or as clean" as the lexus and the interior was "underwhelming" to say the least. The price is way to high and it broke down in the show room. you see, anyone can make up things about a car since we are all online and not many can do anything about it. But thanks for sharing your imagination.
J J Like I said, the "children".
Sombody You Don't Know Wow, child. Are you really that much in denial? I'm embarrassed for you, completely.
AHAHAHA alright twelvy. keep loving you imagination. also you are also quite in denial. trying to hate on a car that is clearly pretty darn good just so that you can satisfy your ego and your stupidity. i pity you. now run along to your mummy now and play with your rc car. the internet is for grown ups who know about what a cars true value is instead of just talking shit.
Sombody You Dont Know Embarrassed for you. Truly.
Why this guy is so negative!!!!😒
Too busy with silly design lines.
i meant the interior, but the exterior is pretty damn ugly as well. btw, we currently have a '15 lexus gs in our garage.
J J I watch it because I am actually a potential customer, who already buys their cars. I also have an 16 X5M, so I can easily afford 100k cars as well as a M3. What cars do you have in your garage?
J J check back when you actually can own the cars you watch.
David H Bragging huh?
J J 😱 u so dirty!
no carplay, worst infotainment system
hoe much fot a v6 turbo? lol rip off!! thid bad bpy needs a v8 its not a sport car its ok if its slower drivability is king in this cars.
Jesus H Medrano
What??
J High its a rip off, cuz no v8. regardless how fast it is ypu cant replace the driveability of a nicely tuned v8 for a luxury car.
Twin turbo. Not turbo. Has more power than the 460 engine and consumes less fuel
Jordin Young haha i know its twin i waa just making it quick. ur missing the point, DRIVABILITY is king here, a turbo or twin turbo for that matter, my point is theres always that pesky turbo lag. and do u really think ppl that can afford this car care about gas mileage?? lol please...
Sorry dude, but that spindle grill is just horrific.
You dont have to apologize, it's a very subjective aspect.
Greg Hines Op, I'm with you. It's like they looked at an Audi grill in a fun house mirror and said " that's it!". We need to start a go fund me for all the people with impaired vision who like the design
J J clearly you already are, probably with a lexus branded one lol
Karun Chendrimada I'm not going to turn down money, so please let me know when you've set it up, I'll gladly be the recipient of a gofund me.
Greg Hines looks like a cow catcher from a locomotive
You aren't American
