This thing just doesn't age. Still as pretty as the day it came out

My dad passed away last weekend, and this is the car he had. A 2018 LC500. Ready to get it so I can take care of it, keep the miles low, and keep it forever. Very nice 500 you have as well

I have a Nissan GT-R and I'm really contemplating moving into an LC500. This car is much more sophisticated in design quality. Many tell me it would be a performance downgrade which is true but this car is in a league of its own which I appreciate.

Okay I'm just gonna say it. This may be a controversial opinion, but I think this is specifically the most elegant vehicle ever created.

The 30 mpg is because the engine transforms to an Atkinson cycle (usually used in hybrid applications - the intake valve train changes to Late Intake Valve Closing (LIVC) when cruising at highway speeds where the power requirements at low. If you need power the engine immediately switches back to Otto cycle and away you go. This Atkinson cycle provides the improvement in FE (over the 26 mpg EPA hwy number) Not sure why Lexus does not advertize this feature. I won a coupe and every trip I get 30-32 mpg at 70-75mph)

Your car looks like a piece of art in a museum bro!

WOW nice job Jonny !!! one of the few reviews I didn't fast forward through....perfection as I am on the hunt for an LC.

This and the v8 c63 coupe are just something special. The sound and the comfort. Its not about going fast, its about cruising changing gears and hearing the pops and crackles. thats what you love more than performance.

Great review and I agree with all your points! I have the 2020 Inspiration Edition and absolutely LOVE everything about my car. Also, the Climate Control System (Inside of Infotainment) has a function called "Concierge" mode. This is a "Set-It and Forget-It" mode that If enabled, will automatically control ALL of your Climate, Seat and Steering Wheel heat conditions based on the Temperature you have set on the display. The car will then monitor the inside and outside temps and adjust the Climate, Seats and Steering wheel Automatically to meet or maintain the temp setting you have applied. As an example, I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area, where on a Spring day it could be 40 degrees in the morning, but 80 degrees in the afternoon. In the morning, Concierge mode will turn the Seat and Steering wheel heat on, but in the afternoon, it will turn the Seat Cooling on. It will even control the level of seat heat or cooling that is needed and will step down from the Maximum as the comfort level conditions are met. This is all Automatic and is based on whatever the Temp is that you have set on the display. I love this mode and I NEVER have to touch anything other than the button on the panel to raise or lower the Temperature. Hope this helps!

Great video, Johnny! Always been a fan of the LC500. It's aged well and I think it will continue to do so. Future classic in my opinion!

The best review for lc500 i’ve ever watched on youtube

Finally!!! a real owners review thank you for making this vid.

Great review! Love the simple mods

Thank you for this video! I really enjoyed your take and mods on the vehicle.

Dope ride!! Thanks for the info. Love the lowered look with the springs. Looking at the convertible now because of ur vid!! Thanks

This is my dream car, I want one so bad!!! Congratulations on it

I really like your mild modification. It makes it looks even better

I love your LC500 and your mods are very tasteful. I have seen some LCs where people do too much or put big spoilers and they look tacky. Great choice on the wheels!

Beautiful car and outstanding review. Job well done!

the best looking LC so far.thanks Johnny

A piece of JEWELRY on wheels 💪😎 Nice review 👏👏👏

Great review! Thanks. I'm thinking about catching one of these.

it's really sharp, well done! Enjoy!

I most definitely will have one one day. Great video buddy 👍

Excellent mods, tasteful and aesthetic

What a great and simple review! Beautiful car!

Your car looks amazing. Really sets it off with the exterior mods.

My LS460 with a similar but smaller 4.6 liter from the same engine family will do about 28-30 mpg with its 8 speed automatic. It’s amazing how far automatics have gotten.

Why is this car so beautiful?!! I LOVE IT

perfect car and perfect review of this masterpiece ...I want one

Great review! Such a beautiful car.

Such a well composed and balanced review. Tks!

Damn that exhaust sounds great!!

Nice review Johnny, I will tell you have my interest up on this one. I’m keeping it on my short list.

Looks amazing!

Beautiful set up

yes, heated/cooled seat/wheel control buried in screen not great, but concierge setting is great and enough for me.

Congrats. That is a beautiful car.

Love the styling changes you made! The design and silhouette definitely pops out more without the chrome

Solid review! :)

Solid review. Nice to have something a little more unique at car meet ups.

Nice video. Your car looks AMAZING. Love the LC 500 and looking at a 2024 model since it has the updated infotainment system without the dreaded trackpad 😁

Nice review, Johnny. I recently test drove a LC500 convertible at SLC Lexus. Didn't have a WOW takeaway :(. I'll be renting a coupe in Chicago for a day to get a proper evaluation.

Great looking LC. Also, just found your channel and just going by titles & thumbnails- man do you have some interesting videos, now I can’t wait to watch! Lol.

Johnny great video and lovely Lexus

Very good review. Thank you!

Nice review, big LC fan

Such a sweet car. It's incredible

Your review makes me want one 🤗🤗🤗

Wonderful review sir, beautiful car.

you can always use your voice command for the heated/ventilated seats to skip the screen 👍

Beautiful car. What I did on mine is putting 15mm distance discs on the wheels. That brings the tires in one line with the chassis.

I believe you can set up a split screen where one screen shows the heated seats etc., so you always have access to it.

Such a great car! 👍 Maybe someday when I no longer need a back seat I’ll manage to put one of these in my garage.

Great review 👌🏼

Good review !!!

Black and white is very nice combination. What a beauty car

Thanks for this review

Good choice mate 👍 saw this model on freeway today and I was tailgating for few mins to get a better look. Matte black, it was perfect. I had to look it up on google and on your channel to know more

super dope ride and the best review by a super cool guy and not an actor great job and congrats on that car dam

These thing are beautiful. Since I moved to Texas I see a lot of these on the road

Beautiful car buddy, I hope to own one of these myself one day!!

What a beauty & that color..... It just stands out

Dope ride man! Hope to see it at a car show sometime!

great video

Thanks great review!

Great review. My dream LC is to have one like this. Unfortunately, we have too many vehicles in our current home and I think eventually in a couple of years I'll add one to the stable. Perfect touring car.

Looks great! A used one is my achievable dream car. Its not a super car but to me it is.

Hi, enjoyed your video presentation of the 2018 Lexus LC 500. So encouraging that you have no complaints and are still so enthusiastic after two years of ownership, I have had my 2018 for 5 days and am thrilled with the ride and the sound it makes as I make my way up and down the gears. So impressed. Beats the pants off enjoyment of my former Porsche 911 Turbo in every way. I spent two months test driving variously cars (Mercedes GT 63S, BMW M6 Competition, Porsche Panamera 4S) and was about to give up when I was fortunate enough to walk back into a Mercedes dealership to find the LC 500 featured on the showroom floor. After a 20 minute test drive I was convinced and the rest is history, signed up on the spot. The salesman put a sold sign on it right away as other customers were starting to circle the car. Anyway, to make a long story short I am in LOOOOOVE...Already thinking of ordering a new 2024.

One of 2 LC500s Ive seen in person. I saw it at a Park City C&C a couple of years ago. And I saw a black one when they first came out. Looks so sick!!

Borrow a LC500 from my friend for a weekend roadtrip, one of the best cars I ever driven (coming from a huge 911 fan). Definitely getting a used one once car inflation dies down a bit.

Just bought one, a convertible 2023. Can’t wait to get it 🏖️

Love how he counted all 46 people asking if it was an LFA. "Ok...that was number 34..."

Absolutely beautiful car

Nice and genuine review & a GREAT car indeed. I envy you!!

The Lexus design philosophy L-finesse is just beautiful!

Very good. Looking to get one now.

The sound of it!

This is my dream car! One day I will have one! Especially in the red color and the convertible

Lexus such undertated, overlooked cars.. gpad you enjoy!

Very informative video sir.

LC 500 ... probably definitely in my dream car garage, and it will outlast the apocalypse because its a Lexus... I would have mine in black or dark green...🤤🔥 looks really good in dark colours

Great choice of wheels for this car

You are the most suitable owner of the vehicle. Tall, a US resident and loving the car. I know a Japanese automobile journalist who has the convertible version of this car and hates it. He is a short guy who lives in Japan complaining car is too much for him and the Japanese road. Sounds terrible for his profession yet guy is popular there for reasons I don’t understand. The car is most suited for big American road and big guy like you. I’m glad to see you loving it. Hope you keep it forever because the car really suits you.

Hi Johnny. Thx for sharing the video. Glad to hear you still enjoy the LC after 2 yrs. I don't suppose you remember the brand of your cellphone holder? Thx

It looks so good in white

Absolutely gorgeous

great video, thanks!!

Beautiful!

I’m looking to replace my older 2008 Lexus IS250 and getting these. Well, Maybe I should keep that older IS250 because it’s been super dependable. I am seriously looking at this LC500 or a new IS, but the IS500. Lexus, beautiful cars. They truly never age. Timeless

Nice review.

I want this car to be "underated" to the greatest extend of the word. This will semi-help its cost as used car despite the inflating used car prices nowadays.

Your pie chart analogy is an excellent viewpoint. Adding the incredible Lexus dealership experience slice is a key differentiator in my opinion. Have you taken your LC500 to a Lexus dealership for any service, even though you purchased it from a non-Lexus dealer?

Love the interior (the 2nd best I've seen in any car, with a Bentley having the best, in my opinion), love the side and front profile, love the engine and sound, not a huge fan of the rear view. Still I would buy one if I had the money! I would have a white exterior, like yours but with the ochre interior (I loathe black interiors). One of the biggest pluses is that it aint a car you see every day and are rare as hens teeth, that makes it special to me. (Oh, I have never seen one in real life, sadly). Nice to see a review of a long term ownership. Had to laugh when you called the paddle shifters 'flippers' - that's different!

Such a sweet car

Thanks for the detailed review Really like your mods too, particularly wrapping the chrome roof blades I had already planned on that 😄 Also did you get any tyre rub with the springs and wheel setup?

I own one, I love it

very nice spec

It’s like an sc400 and an lfa did the fusion dance, such a nice car

Congrats on your ownership. Black would have been nice, but I think you got the better color as you get a better overall contrast. It is definitely under-rated. It may not be better in overall performance like some of the German choices, but to really see the real difference, you need to take to the track…and how many people do that in the real world. Plus overall the maintenance requirement is less with the Lexus.
