I can tell you love this car Chris. I see you getting on soon.

I love it how even on a Lexus, the cruise control stalk is the same as the one found in an '08 Camry. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

@entritur 3 жыл бұрын

It's in the same place as the Toyota MR-2 turbo from 1992 i used to own. Haven't owned a toyota since then and it took me a moment to realize where it was and then it dawned on me. IT EVEN works the same.

@coreyclark4190 2 жыл бұрын

If it comes with a price of over $70k, I don’t think it needs to be broken in order to get a refresh. Car cost to much to look old and dated 2020-2021.

I just wanted to let you know that me and my brother occasionally drive down where you film these videos and we affectionately call this section of road "The Tropher on and off ramp". We always joke about hopefully seeing you flying around the on ramp one day driving by!

I kid you not, this just happened. I was walking across a bridge to work, (Burger King) which is a long commute on foot, but not really by car, a very nice lady named Baliey, saw me walking and gave me a ride in her Lexus RC. I can’t remember if it was an F model but the interior looked just like this one. She said she had just purchased it last week. She also gave me gas money so I wouldn’t have to walk to work tomorrow. I was truly blessed today when she picked me up. Also it’s hotter than Hell’s Kitchen here in South Carolina 🥵 Thank you Bailey! ❤️

It's really not, general population just sees Lexus as the grandpa brand and that's why they can't push their sports cars. Same happened with Kia Stinger, press loved it, but the brand perception can't change that easily.

@bombstar10 4 жыл бұрын

I quite like the exterior styling now, but I just can't get over how old it looks inside versus the competition, with a lot more plastic and awkward angles. That said the brand new IS interior is actually a step backwards in terms of modernity IMO, so maybe this isn't so bad.
