Facts

@@courtneyg5496 means the lexus r reliable but the Range Rover is super unreliable

Lexus is for people who can't afford Mercedes but want to feel like they're driving luxury while paying extra for a vehicle thats half a decade behind the Toyota origin model. Facts.

@@sly9263 yikes. No wonder Lexus is such a small, unsuccessful, unappealing brand. Oh wait.

and for good reason. German cars are so much better.

@@boss4330 that's the stupidest statement I've read here. Overengineered to the point of such low tolerances added with cheap plastic parts equaling a grand total of a worthless terribly put together car. Handle well when they're not breaking down all the time. Lexus all the way.

I disagree - he's simply making the point that Lexus is more known for Crossovers and aren't as cool as their German rivals, which is unfortunate

@@boss4330 too bad teh GTIs are made in Mexico. but maybe they are made better than Detroit would do. who knows man. i just wish they were more reliable so i can easily get one in the spring.

@@baldeagle6120 in comparison, Lexus is way more reliable for sure. they are also luxurious.

nah, they are just average these days. Aside from the LC500 all of their cars are meh.

@@kristians2704 Untrue. The only reason not many people aren’t buying more Lexus cars is because they just aren’t cool or relevant in the general public, the kind of thing your grandma owns. A truly underrated brand. By the way Lexus being average on a popularity and relevancy level, I can agree. But basically everything else is almost unrivaled.

@@echleonvfxamv4278 most of their cars are outdated and need redesigns - the RX, GX, LX, IS, RC. Also, a lot of them just use FWD based platforms from Toyotas and old N/A Toyota engines.

@@KY77779 They might be too old. he may be doing it full time now

@@THuang-lt1ob he has been doing it for a living for quite a long time now AFAIK. But yeah this is one of his poorest videos so far. Lexus has some of the best built cars in the world. This engine is in quite a few Lexi/lexus' and his whole thing lexus isn't comparable to BMW or Mercedes is completely ignorant IMO.

He gave it the first ever 10/10 for quality, what more could you want?

He seems to shit on cadillacs slightly less, if it’s not German or British than Doug probably won’t acknowledge a car’s greatness

Mirsab Hasan i don’t know. My experience with Lexus is very high quality and high comfort. Even on a ct200h out of 2011 or something

Probably the same reason my dad and brother look down on the brand as “overpriced Toyota’s” not that either of them pay much attention to any of these quality cars

Yeah LFA?

It does have a reputation and a good one. Just not one for high end luxury sports cars. They made 500 LFAs a decade ago. Not enough to change anyone's perception of the company as a whole. They have never made a sports car in the vein of a 911. Even their fast ones have been more luxury than sports. Which is fine. Lexus is all about comfy and reliable. They are great cars. But don't act offended when nobody treats them like Porsche. Completely different market.

Likely because folks from our generation have ridden in plenty of Lexi that were Camrys with leather and a grill. I'm sure they've gotten better

No, its a shitty flop trying to rival the reputation of the LFA.

@@clanker8686 ah yes the LFA a limited numbers supercar double the price of this clearly rivals this luxury grand tourer

A 10 must be LFA. This is not even close. Yes it looks good,like a concept car you only can see at autoshow but that's all, nothing striking rememberable like LFA triple exhausts or 991 turbo " ducktail "

This car isnt really worth a 100k, there are way faster and more exotic cars than this thing. Plus, people will genuinely give more presence to a exotic car manufacturer name, where as this is a Lexus, which to a lot of people already sounds bad. Sure its not a bad car but there are a lot of better cars out there for a 100.000$

I live less than 30 minutes from where he filmed. The speed limit in that area (I-95 North in East Haven and Branford, Connecticut) is 50mph and turns to 65mph later.

Gawd damn where do you work at? Fucking Nasa?

Seriously. You want your GT to be able to take you across entire countries and not breakdown halfway through hours away from the nearest BMW or Mercedes dealership.

This car actually emulates the McLaren SLR over a decade ago with more luxurious amenities than the SLR had. It sounds just as good as the SLR tbh. When the SLR first came out people used to compare it to an Enzo, Ford GT and Carrera GT but that was not the point. The car is a GT to cruise long distances in comfort and have supercar performance on demand. This applies to the LC 500 as well.

AG19RDR Mercedes SLR Maclaren* you've probably confused so many people who don't know better

@@jmoney7289 Yes a lot of people think it's a Merc but the final assembly is at McLaren. Even seen the chassis plate that says it on the SLR. _McLaren SLR_ is just a shorter way of calling it. ;)

@@jmoney7289 keyboard expert spotted

Mark S lol are you high?? European luxury is way beyond Japan. Let's see how well this car would compare to a Rolls Royce. From UK.

Hayden Briggs where did you get luxury from, guy is talking about build quality lol

Bruno Hahmann You can associate luxury with build quality. As an example, if something is handmade like higher end cars. The build quality and luxurious characteristics go hand in hand. You can't have shit quality with luxury, well you can but it would just be a shit car all together. You can have good build quality without luxury but it would be worth the money.

Not exactly. I'd say it's more that you need to have a good build quality for a truly luxury product. But you don't need luxury product to have a good build quality, just tight margins on the fabrication process and quality control, the latter which japanese companies invested heavily when bringing their products to the west.

Bruno Hahmann that's what I said. You can't have one without the other. But you could have build quality over luxury.

Lfa is so godly the sound it makes just makes me want to cry.

I absolutely agree!!

Agreed, but I personally think they could've placed it better. Perhaps somewhere in the dash where it'd be surrounded by leather and not right beside the screen.

"Seven. Seven miles an hour."

Just said the clock is class and luxury that’s why it’s in the car for that reason

Christopher Sangster , so true

Jack Z that’s awesome man, well appreciated those trucks that you own are superb

I agree. I buy a Lexus because I want a luxury car that is beautiful, easy to live with, and reliable. I don't want a money pit over-engineered European car that is designed to force you into their dealership and is plagued with electrical problems. And of course, a German car fanboy will argue "well if you can afford a Mercedes or BMW, you can afford the repairs." Yeah that's not the point. You think I have nothing better to do with my time to constantly spend it in the dealership because the stupid car can't go 6 months without an issue? No thanks. I am an engineer, and I spend my money on quality. Not on a badge just because FU I need the status symbol.

Lexus 👌💪 is the best

Juan Zingarello well said ,that’s what Lexus IS all about. Its a luxury car that’s easy to live with and these cars perform so well and the fit and finish is excellent, yes Lexus made some mistakes but what car company hasn’t. Lexus’s goal is to build a luxury car that’s well made and reliable, which is why they don’t dump all that insane Hp. I’ve owned many Lexus vehicles u get just as much attention as you do in a German car and actually sometimes you get even more attention in a Lexus. These cars are also so reliable and drives extraordinary well. The performance that Lexus vehicles give you is nothing to argue with either. These testers seriously need to get there facts straight. I’m pretty sure Lexus can throw a thousand hp in there car if they wanted to but they chose not too. The company chose to put there focus on other things. Hence why they have the best interiors and in my opinion the best quality and looks. They didn’t just focus on power and numbers. When they wanted to prove there point they built the LFA👌

Yes but swivel wheel is still the best though.

@@mirkomarjanovic3234 I have the mouse one and you're right. Not bad when you get used to it but wheel would definitely be much better than a mouse or touchpad

Alex Russett It makes perfect sense to get a car like this especially if you are in US. The road conditions are bad. The speed limit is low.

Nan Xing I mean, both of those things entirely depend on where in the US you live.

Alex Russett 😂

I'm sorry the Aston DB11 isn't as luxurious or detailed as this LC 500. I have checked both out in various comparisons and the Lexus is definitely the winner. The only car i'll say with a better interior is the new 2018 Bentley continental GT but that car is more than double the cost of the LC.

heinkmeister Porsche will take that bet

porsche would be idiotic to take that bet

I really don't think vag group wants to start making bets and losing more money.. dieselgate was a thing you know. On the other hand toyota is the only japanese manufacturer to never have a loss during a business year. Besides, the moral of Dalton's reply was that porsche would rival lexus in reliability, which is laughable to say the least

They are extremely reliable though, I’ve bought 3 with 100-120k and driven them all past 230k without ANY repairs other than tires, brakes etc. I have a friend who bought a new challenger and he’s had more problems within the first 40k Miles than I’ve had between all 3 of my Lexus with 5-6 times the miles
