It’s not a last hurrah it’s a new golden age! Electrification still does not have technological advancements it needs to replace ice both in longevity and amount of distance able to be covered and also recharged. No body is going to want to keep having to buy cars every 2-4 years because the batteries degrade. This will cause even more pollution and junk yards crammed with cars that otherwise would have been fine if they had an engine.

@ARentz07 2 года назад

Love that you guys finally got to review one of these especially since Jakub has owned an F before. Wanted to chime in and say, when you guys said you'd turn the ASC off, that wasn't actually fully-off. When you turn the dial down, it stops at a minimum volume, if you will, and then it will "click" into an off position. I own an IS 350 and have sat in an IS 500 and it's the same way. So if I had one I'd probably turn it off right away. I am with you guys on the Incognito color, I would much prefer the metallic Cloudburst Gray.

After years of spending plenty of time behind the wheel of basically whatever I wanted, it has made me appreciate a car like this even more. It captures the same thing the Charger/Challenger do. When compared to todays best sports cars, the Charger/Chally/IS500 feel old school. Kind of sloppy, kind of loose. And nothing wants to break on any of the naturally aspirated cars I buy.

True but the F is more for DD with reliability. Charger and Challenger are much better as a weekend car if you are getting the higher trims.

@@paolowalters4462 your missin my point. If you Hop in any of the newer M3, M5, RS3, RS6, C43, C63, Vsport, V, Blackwing, and then spend time in a Charger/Challenger it feels old school. This IS500 compared tho the above, FEELS OLD SCHOOL.

@@paolowalters4462 My first Charger was also the first car I financed. Got it with 9k miles. 2013. It was in a flood in June of last year it had 159k miles. I was pacing 73k miles in 2021 alone. No problems other than thermostat and the Bluetooth module. It was one of the most reliable cars I had. My SRT8 was headed the in the same direction I just didn’t drive it enough. In the one that flooded. I was getting 30mpg doing 80-85mph with baby cam, full exhaust system etc.

$20,000 dealer markup is ridiculous beautiful car though !!

As for it being the “last V8” isn’t true. We all thought that when they took away the ISF, and we’ve thought it a billion times. V8’s are here to stay baby

Lexus Nailed it with the new design. just wish it had the same fender/sideskirt design like the original. Would still love to have this alongside my 11' ISF Tho!

That Lexus quality baby

@NeutralGenericUser Год назад

I love this car so much. The engine, the exterior styling, everything. I just wish Lexus would've updated it to include the new infotainment system. Seeing the interior, and comparing it to my gf's 2022 NX, the new infotainment is so much better

@yousef.al-assaf Год назад

Interior is just good as is. Nothing too distracting and engaging at the same time. What I want from a car that is meant to perform

@zendy04 2 года назад

i love this car but one of the reasons id buy it is for the burnouts, but ur tellin me i cant even do burnouts….? that’s ridiculous

@LateNightDateNight 2 года назад

You can do burnouts, there’s plenty of videos of people in this exact vehicle doing them

@kanob6440 2 года назад

Sounds great, looks great, plenty of power, comfortable, reliable, not trying to be the sportiest car, it's a great creation. Last of its kind.

For those Americans thinking that -1 degrees (@2:30) is crazy cold where they are filming the video in Toronto, they were talking in Celsius, in your world that is 30F; not Alaska, Minnesota or North Dakota frigid where -1F is a normal day there

Yeah 30f is nice spring/fall weather in the midwest hell pocket.
