Lexus is the only company I trust to make a car like this truly reliable and durable. The Germans certainly can't do it. That dependability is the most fundamental of luxuries, and nobody does it better than Toyota / Lexus. By combining that with incredible beauty and charisma, Lexus has made the LC500 something I actually lust after. I Want This Car.

@garrettgiuffre7298 3 жыл бұрын

It's refreshing to see a quality that almost seems like it will age well. I love all cars and their attributes. But it seems most modern vehicles are built in a 3 year quality factor. Almost targeting leasing. Nearly impossible to keep it original in the future due to outdated technology and almost impossible to upgrade if you wanted to aftermarket being forced for all the safety features like Lane departure warning and breaking and all that that ties into the ABS traction control and just really locks down the vehicle. Still to this day one of my all time favorite vehicles is the GS second generation. Lexus was so far ahead of the game that even today their technology hasn't really changed and they're still on par timeless vehicle truly

@2013wearestillhere 2 жыл бұрын

The front and rear 3/4 views are awesome. The car has endless shape and definition. It's like a Japanese Aston Martin. And they're right, the LC is a luxury gt, not a one dimensional or single purpose sports car. This is the kind of car you could be perfectly happy just cruising around in it. I also like this shade of green, and how the light shade interior contrasts with it, but for practical purposes, I would go with a darker shade inside to avoid the human stain that would show up over time.

The main point of this car is that it's quality is far superior to the German disposable cars. If you want a car that will keep a good proportion of it's value and be reliable, then this is the car for you.

@TeaVR 8 ай бұрын

I’d normally agree. However, the Germans have caught up. I don’t think the argument of Lexus quality being superior to say BMW holds up anymore. The other thing is that the likes of BMW knock out so many 8 series, any issues are well known and fixes readily available. The LC500 on the other hand is a low volume vehicle and arguably not as well tested in the real world. I’m not bashing the LC500 (as I’m now one year into ownership), but the likes of BMW have caught up. The main point of this car is it’s beauty (and aural qualities). I have never owned a car that gets so much attention. It is impossible not to get looks / compliments etc on a daily basis.

"It doesnt have the gesture control of an 8 series or...the augmented reality of an S class " I mean...fair enough but remember its a Lexus. Everything that is in this car, is built to last and be reliable. Im from germany, and german cars have a huge problem with building things reliably. Sure the german cars sound like they are stuffed with cool tech, but this tech is just not reliable at all and when it breaks after the warranty ends - well yeah youre kinda f*cked and sit on huge repair bills and i speak out of experience. Sadly we only have one or two Lexus dealers in germany so its quite hard to get hands on one of these, but if i had the chance i totally would ! I ve seen many Lexus and i was just astonished on how well the build quality is and its really nothing like a BMW or Mercedes, its just on another level.

Honestly my favorite car right now. I own a 10 year old lexus that still feels and drives new. I recently broke up with my 97 cobra convertible (though still my profile pic...) because it was pretty unreliable and when not cruising top down, was a very clunky, loud, and quite poorly made car (a mid-90s Ford, I know I'm not shocking anyone here), made all too apparent by how quiet and well made my Lexus is. Point is, the LC500 (especially the convertible) is the best of both worlds, and someday, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to afford it. Here's hoping for depreciation. For now, I'll revel in the high praise it seems to be soaking up by every journalist, including hard to please guys like Thomas, and Matt Farrah. Well done Lexus, well done. And thanks for your review guys, I could feel my smittenness coming straight from Thomas's mouth to my ears!

Lexus adds a bit more glitter but ultimately, people buy them because they are a Toyota when & where it matters. That's why dinosaurs like LX570 GX570 are still selling like hotcakes!
