so true

I don't know how much they spent on the development of the LFA, but I am sure Toyota will never again greenlight that much money to be blown on a car which they are going to sell at a loss.

@@ivaniii9707 yeah we unfortunately will never see another LFA, after over a decade of deigns being made and scrapped over and over, and probably excessive RND budget expenses and of course as you mentioned, losing money on every one they even managed to sell, it was a phenomenal car and one of my all time favorite cars ever; but from a business standpoint making something like it again isnt feasable in the slightest so all we can really do is be thankful that they even made the LFA

I never realized that goon said that. However what does he know about the LFA that the designers and crew didn't know?

thats because all the best bits of the LFA were engineered by Yamaha

They're slowly sticking their neck out though. Hopeful to see some new releases from them soon.

Give it a few years and maybe they’ll get it

Totally in agreement with that comment.

@@randyneves9701 they did but it flopped.

LFA enters the chat

No, seriously, of all the things that James Engelsman has said, this is the one that everybody's gonna remember.

For me it's the delivery. Everything they say about the cars comes across like they really thought about it, as opposed to "bro, this paint pops, like in some light it does but not in other light." "Now let's talk about whether the satellite radio can rewind for 20 minutes, and if we remember, we'll discuss the ride quality in the last three seconds." I live cars, and that channel bored me to tears.

@@DavekayBSC hahah TheStraightPipes ftl I actually can't believe this channel doesn't have 10x the subs they do...the quality here is on the level of carfection.

@@DavekayBSC Haha... I can't watch the that other channel anymore. Not sure how to interpret "It's really pretty ok" commentary. And the constant index finger wagging while talking drives me nuts. Haha. Throttlehouse destroys them on so many levels.

Well said! I don’t know how I stumbled upon their video about a year or so ago but have been trying to follow their videos since! Amazing team they have with them as well.

@@DavekayBSC So well put. I was a fan of TSP for a bit, but they seem to have this arrogant "we're youtubers" mentality. I think they forget they don't actually own the cars they test. Too bad, they used to be enjoyable. Throttle House is so much better, on so many levels. I think the fact that TH caught and passed TSP in subscribers drives them nuts. I guess begging for subscribers isn't all it takes....you need content!

He says it with such confidence.

Oh my god that was hilarious. He said it so straight, Thomas perfectly summarized my thoughts on it 😂

He says 'They went with a lighter air conditioning compressor". When does he say your comment?

Gotta love Thomas's Dutch-sounding replay.

S K if that's the case, why are they still in production together? The reality is that people do argue all the time, it doesn't mean much. Especially if you're in each other's space all the time.

@S K what TV were you watching? They didn’t get along when the cameras were on either lmao Still great chemistry

There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position. I have been more skillful than lucky to be honest also thanks to Daniel wright who trained me as my initial investment was multiplied so much In two months. After getting in touch with Daniel wright an exp:ert in cryptography, who showed me how to use his program to make transactions and got 7 btc in 2 moths with him. if you are looking for a way to increase your portfolio or investment.

I’ve been saying this, the grill design is nice, it’s how it’s implemented which makes it work or not. The only Lexus models I don’t like being a Lexus fan, is the 3rd gen is and the gx.

This. It's infuriating when you're criticizing BMW (M3/M4) grillles but then some idiot comes with a "but Audi and Lexus has big grilles, too" argument.

It's a great car. I miss mines and as of late the RCF's have become even more rare. Everyone loves to throw numbers and liked to remind me of "faster" options as if most owners of these highly expensive cars were racing through the streets every day trying to beat track times. Hell, i am actually looking into buying a lightly used track edition RCF as we speak.

Wait, what? Lexus gets what? Its a mishaped blob and the only angular parts are the worst part of the design. Lexus doesnt get anything design wise, since they stopped copying mercs. The RC is as overcharged stylistically as the Supra, hence why it lacks presence after you saw it for a few times.

⁠@@AI-qd4vbUtter nonsense, style is a preference so you can say whatever you like about the car… But we aren’t going as far to say that it’s pretty much an ugly car ESPECIALLY with the shit BMW and Mercedes put out nowadays design wise. If the Lexus RC F is a “overcharged style”, at least it’s unique unlike BMW and Mercedes. Those 2 brands haven’t put out a good looking car since they recently changed their design language. Audi has been the only German brand that has quite nice designs. Again, it’s an opinion thing so it’s no point for back and forth argument about this debate.

@@kellyoubrejr544I’m a fan of Lexus but can’t seem to like the front end. Headlights always had that like if it was punched in the face design at some angles. Side profile is sexy and rear too, but towards the front just looks weird. BMW has always had handsome gorgeous looking cars until their redesigns which absolutely KILLED the designs it looks horrendous. You can’t tell me the 2021 M340i isn’t sexy and gorgeous.

Im not a fan of the sloping hood and the hump in it.

Damm right it is

Couldn’t have said it better.

Yupp

great

LOVE throttle house especially Thomas's Canadian "must clearly enunciate while never EVER dropping my Gs". Eg, drivin, makin, waitin, etc (or "I'm gonna" instead of I'm going to). He can't lol

Donut Media and Doug Demuro are contenders, in my opinion. However, Throttle House are the best at integrating comedy, quality information and great quality production. They will continue to grow and grow and deserve nothing but success.

@@scottlauren3145 I've stopped watching Doug...his videos have gotten repetitive and boring and unoriginal. I'll watch if there's a car I'm really interested in, but not every video like I used to.

@@djsomeguy sorry. What?

Yeah right up with doug and donut media imo, they deserve at least 4 or 5 mil subs

@@justaaron488 well see he’s a at 1.3mil hopefully by then i’ll have my gs lexus to

@@Dd-mt5ol about 1.4 now

This is a compact coupe. Its based on the IS and uses all the bin parts from that car. Its got nothing from an ES which is an entirely different platform and I doubt it shares anything more than an anecdotical percentage of parts with the GS which is a different segment. Interior, tech, powertrain, all comes from the IS. Thats also one of the reasons its so heavy and uninspired performance wise. The IS was designed with the hybrid powertrain in mind and very little thought was put into weight balance or chasis stiffness for performance applications. You cant always reinforce a car to handle the power the performance segment needs. Thats why they didnt even bother into making the is500 into a performace version and instead just went with the "zen" approach of just making it a sleeper V8.

​@@AI-qd4vbHybrid power train in mind? Where is that at

Yeah 🤣

Yes, but apparently it hasn't read the Kama Sutra, as it only has one position.

Was looking for this comment. Guess it's packing?

These will be the last of them, next year they will be switching to 4.0TT V8

@@saltyfloridaman7163 good comment /s, lol, always love when someone debates a subjective opinion. Next time post something worth-while. To me it is very unique especially in the way it sounds. I never said the build is a unique engineering masterpiece; simply that the characteristics are unique. I don’t even really like V8’s in general unless they rev high or sound more European, they all sound soulless and anti-climatic.

W•h•a•t•s•a•p•p👇 +1•(8-4-3)•6•0•5•4•8•2•1!

Even of it was priced competitively, it's still lacking. All it really has going for it is the NA V8.

@@person.w9780 Yep if I were to get the V8, get the LC500 or IS500 since they prioritize luxury over performance which is why they aren’t F cars. I don’t want a performance oriented car that falls flat on performance.

@@person.w9780 I disagree. The current problem is that you're essentially paying a premium for a car with performance not befitting its price tag and design language. However, price being equal or even undercutting its competition (as lexus was originally intended to do), then the choice becomes far more subjective and preferential. Generally speaking, no true F car has ever preformed head and shoulders above its competition on a track.

I’d rather get this as a used car. I’m pretty sure it would be a bag for your buck used but 100k for this considering the price is a no for most.

@@chris-andrebrissett5208 just buy an original, pre-facelift RC F and do some minor suspension mods. Less than half the price, just as solid thanks to the build quality and you even get your choice of TVD or Torsen.

Stg I’ll reduce my own weight

Can’t you make this from the RC-F for little to $2k? I Ike the RC platform but this doesn’t need to exist for such a high price

@@chris-andrebrissett5208 carbon ceramic brakes aren't 2k and neither are light panels. however, 100tw tires on a regular RC F would probably net a faster hotlap

No manual gearbox, weighs more than Jupiter, not easy to slide or maintain a slide, and slow around track. Dafuq u smoking

@@user-eu9ub8kj9j I’m talking new. The Supra is a Z4, the GTR is all wheel drive, the Miata isn’t really that exciting. So this is what’s left, plus the new Nissan Z which isn’t even out yet.

@@doggedlydetermined7022 "the miata isn't really that exciting" lmao

@@doggedlydetermined7022 I'm lost on what you mean "the gtr is awd" *when the R32-34 were all awd aswell so what are u on about the gtrs case* the mk5 maybe built off a bmw but its still a very decent(more or less better)than the RCF other than some points in reliability and your comparing a 100k boat with way more power to a 20k miata.

@@emmanuelperrina6105 yeah I don’t consider a 180 horsepower 4 cylinder car to be that exciting, but maybe I’m just used to higher end cars idk

TH > TG

Ontario? Particularly Dunnville? I think I recognize this air strip. "CWD". Canada's Worst Driver.

Hope they make somethin light with gr86 platform

They need to add forced induction to the v8 to give it the power it needs and they need to lighten the car up some more.

@@theyhatehimbecausehetoldth7576 This means no V8 with forced induction then. If it is light, it will definitely not be able to deliver on the V8.

This car would be fine for that it if was cheaper, the RC should not be matching prices with the LC

Puts the power down just fine

Needs a trash can they be tryna do luxury and make a sports car their focus is trash asf

@@darkskinz0617 if that’s the case then all the German cars focus is trash as well since they make luxury fast cars?

The Mustang's interior, build quality and reliability does not compare to the Lexus.
