Is the LS 500 F SPORT a true S-Class competitor?? 

I FREAKING love this car and there is something a lot of reviewers forget. The climate control is all Auto and it intensifies on the side the Sun hits on the car and also works for the heated and cooled seats. I this would outright last longer than any S-class or BMW. Awesome review as usual

There's nothing else on the road that even looks close to or stands out like this car! Damn! Exquisite and exclusivity right here!

I love that you include night shots!!! Lets you see the cars from a different perspective and you see the lights and how they all look at night!! Bravo!

I adore this car, I just wish it had a 5.0 L V8 Lol. That’s why I LOVE my 2008 LS460L

OMG! My favorite car reviewer and my favorite car it doesn't get any better. Great in depth review Forrest, quality work as always. Keep up the great work bro.

Kudos to you for showing night mode, not to many reviews do that. PS I would wait for the four to five year depreciation before I would consider it.

Impressive review! Quality is definitely on the rise keep up the good work

Those headlights are sick looking!!

Nice video man. I really like the LS 500 F sport. The power drain is so incredible. But in China we do not have this model. We only have LS 350 and LS 500h. What a shame

Beautiful ride. 30 MPG on the highway is really impressive! I'm with you on the rear amenities, though. For $102k, they should at least have peasant blockers in the rear windows.

so comprehensive! so many details!

Lexus much better & bullet proof than mercedes

Appreciate and love the review bro I will say this on some of the comfort features most of the time you're going to window tint the vehicle anyway and will probably never use sun shades. You won't fully loaded go with a higher trim level💯👍👍

lovely review!

Just got mine...I love it!!

this is a nice car, thanks for the review.

Great review!

Nice crispy video. Greeting from the Netherlands

This is one mighty fine car. But it would be so much nicer with the glass inserts rather than the aluminium one...I also would prefer the non f-sport as I feel it suits the car more. The f-sport grill seems to cheapen the look of the car a fair bit I feel.

Yeah man top notch..luv it Japanese flagship 👍🏾👍🏾worth every penny

Beautiful car! But, Lexus could have done better with the ambient lighting, Merc nails it! That red interior look awful should be darker red.

In Dubai the fully loaded one comes with TVs massage heated and cooled in back !

I got mine.. used.. 2018 F Sport for $71k out of Maryland. Fully loaded without the executive rear package. Which i didnt want or need anyway. Same color as well -) I get more questions asked and head turns than any mercedes, audi or bmw on the road as not many people have this car in my area. Actually, never seen one around my area yet.

I really like the POV driving in this video. What camera do you have for that?

The LS sounds fantastic and not fake or monotone, stop picking on the beautiful handsome and aggressive LS .And I think it’s a good idea to pipe in the engine notes for more driving excitement listening to the revs and shifts in Gears

You should have reviewed the top of the line LS with all the extra options - Full Massage seats, Kiriko Glasswork with hand-folded Alcantara door panel, right rear full recliner, rear center console control, etc.

THIS CAR IS REALLY SICK IN WHITE! F-SPORT

They should have fog lights. Looks better at night.

Lexus is coming out with a 600hp engine! Love to see they'll place it in this car!!!!

Take a look at the European/ Australia versions. It’s so much better than our US version. They have better color options and HAS dual rear dvd screens, rear seat sun screen, etc. I dont understand why they left out those options on the North American markets.

Sound of the car seems to be purposefully held back probably because its still a flagship luxury sedan. Can't get that loud, would be what LSF is for.

Lexus offers a special backseat package (because China) that has everything you could imagine. Also, the F type is an appearance only package, there are no differences in the suspension tuning.

So quiet inside, especially the hybrid.

I'm almost certain that the heated rear seats and sunshades are exclusive to the ultra luxury models not the F sport models... I think I'm not too sure haha

No one does Ambient light better than german

Do you have a review on the 2019 ES 350 F Sport? I can’t find it.

It deserves an inline 6 diesel petrol plus V8 turbos to compete

My 2015 Genesis has manual rear side shades and Heads Up Display. This is why I traded my 2014 GS F Sport.

I have a 2005 LS and have those missing features in the rear seats such as heated and cooled seats, reclining seats and sunshades. Plus everything else that you mentioned. Funny, they took those away? Maybe it only comes in a certain package.

Quite a few empty button switches on the lower dash and console shifter area on a flagship Lexus.

For bmw 550i xdrive money might as well upgrade and get this car instead

Stunningly beautiful? ABSOLUTELY! Cramped, loud engine, no toe space, no head room, unluxurious ride and terrible controls? Yes! Lexus needs to fix this!

This sport trim should have higher psi for the turbos, like 20psi

Phew! 100k. For what it is though, not terrible

this TwinTurbo v6 should be in new Supra along with new light rwd platform that they are going to put in upcumming Lexus is.

Can u get the ls500 f sport with the executive package in the back seats?

Cant wait till its worth $25k used in 6 years 😁

It's alright

What phone are you using to record this?

2 weeks ago I looked at a 2018 LS500 at my Lexus dealer. 16,500 miles. Sadly, it's interior had issues, the center armrest was broken, letting me see how it was made. Cheap plastic. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. To be fair, it was in the backlot, just taken in off lease. The armrest will be repaired, but, ugh. It had other issues due to the crappy leasee, rear bumper was very obviously damaged, and a number of scrapes down the sides. Again, I'm sure the dealer will address everything, but it left me disappointed.

I wonder if anybody used a compass just once in life, especially in a car

Yes, it's disappointing to know that a luxury Lexus flagship sedan has no heated/ventilated seats and sun shade. I think you need to option it which is ridiculous. One thing I am not fan of is the Lexus steering wheel styling it's so basic but the exterior look is beautiful.

Remove that orange Passenger Airbag light, JEEZ

Super!

Where is the rear seat entertainment system?

Not compare to S-class. Maybe E class, but only Maybe.

I have never driven Lexus nor Toyota. Are they qualitatively different? Or is it just a brand value that’s making the difference in pricing?

its 2 speakers in the roof not 3 one of them is a mic !!

It's an fsport that's y it does not have the items that u was looking for the regular ls500 l or ls500 has every thing u wanted

Why did lexus change the entire ls line up into basically a sports car. They already have a sports car in their line up. I have owned 5 ls and the ride in this one is harsh on bumpy roads. Because of the state of this countrys infrastructure i shall hold on to my 2017 its much quieter and smoother engine and cabin.

19:07. U r right. No excuse for less features. Fsport is more like Fstupid. They think that s as long as they throw the useless term “sport” in the name they can fool enough customers into being satisfied with less. And that engine is TO DAMN LOUD.

This was a great car until they introduced the new ES which looks exactly the same and costs $35,000+

The extra glass pane in the c-pillar looks very strange. Like the rear door was designed to fit in an estate/wagon for a European -only model.

Angry Vacuum Cleaner hahahha

Wow, What a nice Toyota Camry !!!

I have to say, for a $100,000 sedan, I am a little underwhelmed. It is missing a lot to me for a car that is supposed to compete with the s class. I would buy an S Class over this LS. The exterior is beautiful and it does have impressive features on it. It is fast and turns nicely also. I would think that the Mercedes Benz S Class would have more features on this than the LS does. Edit: I would expect to get a V8 egine for this price because you can get a Chrysler V8 for a lot less.

Why do you have to say Japanese coolest sedan??If it was a Mercedes,BMW it Audi,will you say Germany coolest sedan??You guys need to be fair with your reviews. Lexus are better than German cars anyday.

First of all ... this is the F sport model... that’s why it doesn’t have the side shades , cooled and heated seats soooooooooooooo.... and btw the engine sound isn’t synthetic... that’s the sound of the intake ... dude u r cool but but u should’ve checked the other specs before u test the F SPORT model

Song name at 0:15?

What? No heated or Cooled seats and no side window screens and rear seats that don't recline. I thought that this was a Top of The Line Lexus. I don't believe that this is on par with Mercedes, BMW, Audi

No ambient night light yet going to skip and get a merc s class

I love the car but it's too long 205" in length.

I think I know your secret identity forester. Sound awfully familiar to a favorite tv reviewer of mine. R you into the samsung q90r at all....hmmmm. you never see his face because he wears a deadpool mask so you have to spend more attention to his voice. Quantum!?

This car's lines scream for 21"s ASAP!

Probably the slowest $100,000 car you buy. Lexus really messed up here. If I'm spending $100K, I'm not gonna want a Turbo V6. And it sounds horrible. No cap.

This motor should have been in the new SUPRA! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Please use a gimbal

Ur voice we can’t hear it during the key scene

The grill looks the worst on the RX and the best on the LS

better than s class

Nah I would rather take the lc500 instead or gsF.

No remote start...please not worth a 100,000

lmao our rx has heated seats and sun shade

The ambient lighting at night isn't as good as the BMW or Mercedes s class

Silly to have a v6... it needs more power.

But the yakuza won't buy it They would rather buy a toyota vellfire

I'll buy this car if it was free.

If you think this Japanese luxury sedan is lacking things then what do you think of american cars. Americans are good at schooling others but they suck at what they are doing.

You can buy an m5 for that money which crushes this Lexus in every way

Kidney anyone

Lexus over pos german cars anyday!!!!

A grandad car

Sssoy.

Not in the league of the 3 Germans

Nice, but stupidly overpriced!

I would have loved the total review rather than at the 5 minute 25 minute Mark having a commercial and now you've lost me I don't think I'll watch any more of your videos with commercials

It can beat the bmw but not the s class

Save yourself the gas money. Get a Tesla.
