@ovisatmaBrilliantly engineered to achieve world-leading levels of boredom
@warriormonxBought a 25. Now have 2500 miles on it so it's broken in. Got my first speeding ticket yesterday going to Buffalo Trace for some great bourbon. After the 2 sheriffs deps gave me the ticket (clocked at 92...guess he was sleeping...i shut down at 112) they quizzed me about the car and how much fun it is. This car is magic.
@michaelfuncheon7060If you wanna test another f, my 17 gsf is immaculate
@FairuseactYk you went on about falling short. That's how I felt watching this video. Probably how you felt
Literally just saying. Not hating ilysm
@0:10 DTS LURKING IN SHAME
@masonchase085I don't care it's not perfect, looks like a million dollars and has a NA V8 more powerful than anyone ever needs and can be had brand new. And it's a Lexus.
@ohwhocaresNice having a human voice for the narration. Too bad the narration sounds as if it written as a childish attempt at a follow up to "Portnoy's Complaint."
@RalphKramden-il5pfThe first step of true maturity is doing something for your own satisfaction, rather than the idea of it, or the perception of others.
@kylechen9573what a beautiful car.. i really want one
@goodwiilAlmost 500 na hp from a Yamaha v8 with rwd and a 0-60 in the low 4 seconds. Think you can flex that. Especially with the bland sea of cars out now. Itās a cool car, and itās reliable. You know maybe itās not super cool for the folks that can afford two cars and a weekend toy but itās definitely cool when you need to fit somebody in the backseat and can only afford one car while simultaneously not being able to dump $2500 a year and maintenance and unexpected repairs into a German car

@NurseBadTouchCame back to say, that moment has now passed.
@meterdooglesLmfao bruh I really wanted this car but no more ššš
@s-man9528you can show off but only to the right people its the kind of car that most wont know how special it really is but those who do does and this give a quite kind flex that is very rewarding.
@patthonsirilim5739I guess I'm one of the weird ones as well. I have 3 Lexus GS's. A stupid clean 1998 GS300 with the 2jzge, a 2008 GS450h (rare performance Hybrid), and now a 2017 GSF pearl white with red interior. I love em..
@db9904The truth of this review hit like s tone of bricks. A great car in itself but its constantly compared to its predecessor and it's competitors. It will be better used in 7 years
@DavidTeleiosis1:05 you did a disservice to the camry
the camry is WAY smoother than the is500, at least the 2018-24 generation
because lexus has the f sport suspension which is not ideal for the super smooth vibe of the camry
I recently bought an IS500 and it presents you with a sublime driving experience. Made in the Toyota Tahara plant, the build quality is about as good as it gets. Dated to me means buttons, engaging, and no recalls. I think the Tesla S is the best looking EV out there but man, that interior is awful. Do everything with a screen? Hell no. No, it isn't pure F car but the "Sport" part of it should tell you all you need to know. It's a Grand Touring masterpiece with gorgeous looks, buttery smooth- sweet sounding motor, LSD to hang the backend out when you feel like it, quiet cabin, smooth but taught suspension settings...the perfect GT. I plan to keep this car forever.
@mortkbSick car that will last.
@caimano55Buy this IS500, or buy a used old Camry to daily and a used R35?
@refinemeI hope these car companies start failing from making stupid A** decisions based on what some government agencies demand from them. The twin turbo V6 is Biting Toyota right now. GM has almost 100% failure rate on emissions pandering lifters. I could go on and on
@Timbosliccethat was a sick Dom Mazetti reference at 8:50
@jacksonbartee5257Owned an 08IS350 FSport and now an 18GS350 FSport. I really wish L would have ran the last year of the GS with the 5.0L V8 not in their GSF trim.
@CalTNAs an owner of a grand seiko and machined aluminum pen, i finally understand why I cant shake this car from my thoughts.
@gabrieltorres689The guy who bought that IS500 was thinking the same thing I was when I bought the Stinger GT. I wanted an actual motor, an actual transmission (CVTs make me puke), good luxury without sacrificing practicality in terms of infotainment and climate controls. Just enough buttons to keep me sane when interacting with the car. The shift to EVs is already happening and faster than I expected. That is why I bought this car before we never see it again. In 20 years, we will all yearn for a car with a soul.
@BaconNationChannelIS500 F Sports are the better built car that CT5 Blackwings wish they were. Sure, the Cadillac is super nice and probably way faster, but itās not as nice
@quentins5692Lc500 OMG I was so close 70gs 36,000 miles šš but I'm not a dentist
@shenanigan3083Donāt own the IS500, but traded a 18ā IS350 for a new RC F. Toyota/Lexus manufacture the finest motors on the market. Thank God Toyota never fell for the EV scam, & still remain the largest, most successful manufacturer on the planetā¦.Go figure! Nobodyās buying those embarrassing looking bubble vehicleās. EV market is dead, but Lexus quality is alive & well. Simply the best value, performance, & reliability money can buy.
@AKHKCZplusWhat it neeeeeds is a frickin SportCross wagon version like the original IS had!
@davedixon2167Thatās so accurate. The is500 is the right car at the wrong time. If this came out 10-5 years ago itād be the winner amongst its pears.
@boywhohadatigerAnother amateur reviewer. Eurrh!
@rocknrolldog5116Just buy a 2014 ISF itās sharper looking and has a larger tuning community š«”
@0Zz0zZ0-00This voice over review was fucking amazing. I had little expectations going in and expected meh but was blown away. It made me laugh, it made me think, hell, it almost gave me nostalgia. Excellent work.
@nefarious_saintHow does Mr. Regular know about the peanut jar trick?
@RockSolitudeBought the is350 in aussieland. It just looks sooooo good.
The v8 model is not available here unfortunately
I've wanted one since they came out. I mite jus get it now
@markhallberg8195This car is a love letter to the LS400. What a machine.ā¤
@megatronn194This guy is hating on the is500 because he can't afford it. The is500 is all about the engine, reliability, and comfort all from the company who do cars best which is LEXUS!!! Go drive your crappy beaver toothed grilled bmw or other german POS which will end up in the repair shop before you know it. Or go by a tree hugging electric car and get ready for endless electrical software problems and subscriptions to just use the damn AC!
@EvaSlashWTF? What is this guy on?
@therednsxThey should have put the 10 speed from the LC500 into this car. Or at least offer a regular and F sport with the trans as an option
@CyFi6V8 with automatic trans should be a crime
@luichinplaystation610They should have made it look different from the 350.
@elonmusk8667God this car is sexy!
@khrisg.3804This is actually a car that I'd buy.
@whotf8888:00 I loved "eurrh" hahaha ;) Great looking car, design refresh done really well.
@jmydyThat Dan Marino analogy hits hard. I must have one of these
@dmanatanI'm so proud of Lexus for culminating over 100 years of Automotive ICE tech and giving us a product that will stand the test of time. The perfect Car to end an Era.
