I saw a normal LC500 in a parking lot and my jaw dropped. No Ferrari or Aston Martin has ever made my Jaw drop.

Oooo those internal drivetrain cutaways

I read somewhere that the hybrid gives you something like 600-700 mile range... That’s insane for a “sports” car! This isn’t a track car. This is for that long Weekend drive while looking cooler than anyone else on the road. I love it!

This channel deserves a million plus subs just because of the exceptionally astounding content this man puts out.

Any car reviewer that gives us a tour underneath the car deserves respect.

It's a crime that you only have 151k subscribers. You put out videos that are on the same level at Motor Trend, Hot Rod, etc.....love your stuff.

Geese your video editing skills are amazing. I feel lucky that this content is available for free on KZfaq, and it's a damn shame that your subs aren't higher. You are the reason why I pulled the trigger on my S2000 last week :).

I see plenty of retired professionals with thick wallets doing lots of cruising. This hybrid would be amazing for the the mountain road trip. It is impossible to use the V8 on public roads anyway, 3.5l V6 is strong enough in this car and electrical motor just smoothens the engine at full throttle and works magic in the city. Only seen it few time so far in Japan but lexus does very good in here. Great cars.

This guy is a really good reviewer! The Hybrid is the way to go for sensible people who want a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NICE CAR. The V8 is for people who think they are professional race car drivers turned loose on the public roads to terrorize everyone. I've got the 2018 V8 and if I had to do it all over again, the Hybrid would have been my choice. Yes, it's really fun to have the power and sound of that V8 but 99% of the time I'm just driving from here to there and enjoying the comfort and quality of the car. That's the realistic part of the equation. Guys who want race cars should be buying those 600-800 horsepower supercars from Germany, Italy and of course Chevrolet. They will probably wind up killing themselves or some other people chasing their fantasies and not having the good sense to remember the roads are public highways and not race tracks. I've been driving a 435 h.p. 1969 Corvette since 1970. It's been my daily driver for all these years. As a younger guy I definitely did stupid stuff but as you get older, you just grow up, mature (a bit) and just want to "get there safely". I understand youth and now I'm getting to understand old age. The LC 500 is NOT A RACE CAR. Don't buy one for that reason. It is arguably the nicest car available today....especially for the money. Unlike those other cars, this one will spend very little time in the shop being repaired and when it needs something, it won't cost an arm and a leg to get the part. I would encourage anyone who is interested in buying a wonderful automobile to go test drive both versions of the LC 500. You will fall in love. If you decide to buy one, the choice is relatively easy as long as you are honest with yourself. I succumbed to the fantasy. I love my car but would definitely get the Hybrid if given the opportunity to choose again.

no lie, your reviews and the in-depth look into cars w/out bias is fantastic. the editing quality and transitions in your quality etc etc is great. the best on youtube imho. you definitely need more subs and views! thanks for amazing vidoes!

That hood shot looking in IS FREAKING AMAZING!!! Geeze I always love how you shoot. Even if its a car im not interested in, you still have my view just for your skill and indepthness.

An 18 minute quick review

Really enjoy these reviews. Love the area where you do the test drives especially when it looks like autumn.

Your driver seat shots from outside the windshield take your videos to another level. I love that I never see the camera mount from the shots inside the car. Very cool.

That color on LC looks absolutely gorgeous

That cutout is nothing short of amazing.

Over 150,000 congrats goose!!

You have the best reviews ever, on both youtube and other medias

Great review man -- love the way these cars look. Beautiful.

Excellent review. I appreciate your insight and the high production values.

Best review of the 500h ! Just bought a used 2018. Looks fantastic

This car speaks to me, especially with the hybrid drivetrain. I don’t think I will ever buy a new car that sells for $100k but I’m in love with the idea of a car this fast that can get such high mpg and still have Toyota/Lexus reliability. If a more affordable car had this drivetrain I’d buy it. Maybe that’s where Toyota is heading with their sports cars in the next 10 years.

THE BEST car review channel on KZfaq.

The augmented sound honestly reminds of a vacuum cleaner in deep pile.

Great review as always!

You are without a doubt the best on KZfaq.

Quality reviews keep up the gpod work. Im a fan

There is nothing like this on the market. Phenomenal.

Very honest and straight forward review.

Incredible review. I never fail to be astounded by how good this guy's videos are. Tell your motor enthusiast friends to subscribe. He deserves so many more subs. Its almost criminal that they aren't at 1 million+ yet

I learn a lot for your videos with tons of things I can incorporate into my own reviews. Namaste Mr. Goose!

I love your reviews. Great production quality. My only request would be some static/drive by footage to hear what cars sound like from the outside.

Another excelent review !

Great car reviewer, great channel and a great car , thank you.

Excellent review and love this car thank you.

Thank you, great video!

Whether you go for the V-8 or the H is up to you. I would suggest they are both fantastic but here's the real point. If you can find a better car, then go buy it. You can find faster cars. You can find more expensive cars. You can find more fuel economical cars. There are a lot of cars that do one particular thing pretty well but the LC 500 does EVERYTHING REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WELL. It is beautiful. It is fast enough. It handles great. It is comfortable. It is safe. And, it is extremely reliable. I've had my 2018 V-8 LC 500 for just over four years now. It's been a PERFECT CAR. I wouldn't change one single thing about it. Once you learn VOICE COMMAND, you will almost never have to use the trackpad which makes the car much safer than those very dangerous TOUCH SCREENS. So again, if you can find a better car, then go buy it.

geese, as usual, the best review on da net period. please do an updated review on the 19 new rf gt mx5 with the higher revving 181hp engine. need ur input before decisions. and thanks. nobody breaks it down like ur channel!

We were just in Geneva for the Concours D'lagance this past weekend and they had a bunch of them, it truely is a concept car that can be purchased (if you have the money)

Dude i love your videos, very well done, SUB!

Great video! I own the LC 500h and its very relaxing

his videography skills are god-tier.

Love my beloved LC. Thanks for the review - can't wait to review one myself!

Great review. I'm picking up my LC today. It was a hard choice. I looked at the Maserati GT, used 911 turbo and a used Ferrari California. The California and the Maserati were the two best for me. Both had a naturally aspirated 457hp engine and in the case of the Ferrari, the power to weight ratio along with everything else just made it the clear winner, despite being a 9 year old car. I was deeply disappointed in the 2008 911 Turbo. That turbo lag was horrific and hit really didn't handle as well around corners as I thought it should. I ended up on the LC. I thought it had a good compromise with what I wanted. I want reliability and I'm willing to sacrifice the performance more. I've been a long term Lexus owner. I can recommend the Maserati and Ferrari California if you want a fast and sexy car that may not be as reliable.

I love the subtle sarcasm. I'm sure everyone's already told you this but your production value is excellent and your channel is inspiring. Keep it up!

Quality as always... Any chance we get your take on the updated Veloster? It'd be full circle to see if they addressed most of your issues with it from before.

Great video as always! Any chance you can do a video on a 2018 Touareg R-Line & a 2018 Jaguar F-Pace SVR. You are thorough and I trust your reviews. Thank you for your service to the people, it’s much appreciated.

Good review! Thanks.

I have always loved car and the styling but going through so much of you videos i have found a new appreciation and want to learn more and be more technical with car such as you explain on your videos, i know i will take years but i hope to be half a knowledgeable one day. I also want to go into track and real driving, i just need to find some places around me.

I always give a thumbs up to SG before viewing the video...

Great video thank you for your expertise

Damn...and here I was hoping that the "H" stood for "H-pattern shifter".

Fantastic review as always, thank you. I am looking at ordering an LC 500. First, I have to have the V8, but my question for you is the wheel size. In your driving of both LCs, do you think the 20" wheel helps with the ride over the 21"? My dealer has one car to test drive, and it has the 21" wheels. We plan to get the car in blue with the tan interior. In owning many different cars in over a 50 year span time, the interior is the one of the finest, cut and stitched materials I have seen.

I enjoyed the video..first time commenting...you kind of burst my bubble when you mentioned the engine noise..I thought it sounded good..especially when you were on it and showing the quick shifts...all in all it wouldn't bother me...that color of blue is amazing as well....heard you on the Smoking Tire podcast and am rewatching some of your videos..enjoying the quality and commentary..keep up the great work.

This thing will last over 250k miles without repairing anything, which would never happen in German brands.

LC is just fucking amazing, seen it once in real life and Im in love. I would no doubt pick up a second-hand one if any chances god damnit its amazing

Lexus never disappoints.

What is the ev only mode range? You have the best most honest car reviews on KZfaq

Great video without any expletives. Your mother will be so proud and the manufacturers will give you more and better cars to review. You are spot on with your assessments. The sound and suspension are the reason I passed on this car. My wife has the LS500h and it is super reliable with great safety features. Keep up the good work.

Finally something that looks as carefully and artistically crafted as 50s cars.

Bought my 500h last year and still loving the car. The only problem I have come across is with the gearing, sometimes it simply loses the plot and especially when I want to play. Not too much of a biggy for me, but can be annoying. I've no problem with the soundtrack, but if it could be turned off at will, I'd be okay with that. As a package, I just adore the car and the presence it brings to the road. Frankly, I do not believe there is a better looking car currently on the market and one that oozes far more quality than cars costing 2 maybe 3 times as much.

this old man knows how to make a review on the GT cars. this is what i will pick for cruising

I would love to see an Audi allroad review and definitely a Lexus LS review. Great work.

The whole concept of fake engine noise is just so goddamn cringy.

Savagegeese' instrument panel shots while driving are the best of all car vids. It is so satisfying just to watch. It looks almost like a CG. How does he do it?

The problem with LC500h is the LC500 is faster, cheaper and better

I LOVE U GUYS U PUT OUT THE BEST CAR VIDEOS ON KZfaq IF ANYONE DISAGREES THEY CAN FIGHT ME IRL

Yesss...Augmented Reality Review...thats Pure Reality! Niceee

A very fine review, both in thoughts and opinions, and visually as filmed. A beautiful car for sure, my thoughts are the 'rhythmic gear change' and synth' engine is pure Gran Turismo video game influenced, very artificial. Cars of this quality should be quiet, or at least have that option when the sound is basically a V6 ringtone..

Most car enthusiasts (like myself), think that for a car to be good it should have a v8, good sounds and HP+trq and we bash on Toyota for doing the opposite. But you know what? Those guys at Toyota knows exactly what the majority wants - quiet, smooth, dull and good mpg. That's why they have been selling cars by the millions! I have a modified BMW 335i and a tuned Lexus IS350 with swapped 2JZ and everyone in my family hates those because they are noisy and stiff. They said, it's hard to drive. They said they would never trade their their Audi A4, Toyota Camry and Corolla for my cars.

While the 5.0L V8 is probably the driver's choice, for the luxury GT mission the LC is trying to get at, I actually pick the hybrid version as the better car. It won't be as fun to push hard & there's no eargasm when you prod the gas pedal, but this is the quieter version thanks to the EV mode operation & you'll be stopping much less for fuel.

How was the Start Stop function? Does the electrical motor drive it the first few feet and allow you to not feel the judder like most other cars?

Just bought a black lc500h, lol the engine sound is not as good as v8, but I like the instant torque of electric motors and the mpg, and I had 2 other hybrids so I am biased

Can you do a review on the BRZ tS? I wanna know how they stiffened up the chassis and what it offers!

Fair as always, with a clear position for the hybrid version why to buy, enjoy and drive it. Good that Lexus improved the ride quality with current versions. But the weird desk-vacuum-cleaner like sound inside is so horrible!!! thanks you pointed this out again at the end.

Mr. Goose. Thank you for all that you give us. I bought a GT350 in January, in part do to the overall high remarks you had about it. I'm thinking when I'm done paying it off, I'll be in the market for a used LC500 V8. Obviously they're in different categories and price points, but I'm hoping the luxury vehicle depreciation will hit this car hard!!! That, any I don't see many people buying them since it's such an outlier in the Lexus lineup. How do you see this car holding value in the future?

Excellent detailed and thorough review! I'd probably get the V8 over the hybrid. I've driven both and the V8 is a better Driving Experience. The hybrid costs a little more and wasn't as fun.

I had watched this video three times, just to hear turbosk... I mean mr. Goose's awesome voice.

I'd like to know your thoughts on the new Hybrid NSX.

Base MSRP on this car in my zip code is $97,535. Holy Crap!

I never thought I'd see a four speed in a 2018 car. It's an interesting use of one.

It's a fascinating car.

Does the hybrid system put the power down into the front wheels?

So I know about your little incident with the vehicle and I hope you do maybe a fine print on that whole experience...and maybe your perspective on crash mitigation tech in general

They should have a button to switch the suspension from sport mode to luxury mode for those times you just want smooth quite ride.

Can you make a playlist of all the music you use of your videos?

Saw one of these today, driving right beside me. Looks way crazier in person lol

Great review Interesting car no doubt about it, if I was to buy one I'd get the V8. I think manufacturer's need to do a rethink on ride comfort in urban settings instead of sacrificing it for outright performance. I think personally tyre sizes and wheels have gone too far.

So eventhough its a CVT it functions / drives / feels like a regular conventional automatic?

I actually like this more with the smaller wheels. Might just be the design as a whole but I think they look better with the overall car design.

Excellent video! Would you review a Tesla Model 3 Performance?

I hope Lexus does hybrid sports cars instead of forced induction. For example instead of twin turbo V8(m5, e63s), rear wheel drive V8 with 2 hybrid motors in the front

Funny how guys don't put in 1/4 the effort you do and have 500K subs.

Reliable .. but how about the CVT ? it makes me nervous ...

Removed the plastic over the backlights or used other material like metal, and turned the design around the front lights down a notch, a perfect car.

From what you are saying, I think the Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid is a much less irritating and more sporting architecture. I absolutelutely love my Q50, but I think this system will be more succesful, just because it is bolted on a LC500. But the price tag is nearly i8 territory and having driven that car around Oulton Park, it is just mega.

I've just bought a catless header and stage 2 tune for my GT86. Have a made a epic goof?

Will you ever do a Dodge Viper review?

Did you film this back in the spring?

that car looks futuristic
