2023 Lexus IS 500 - This Sedan Shouldn't Exist

In this video, I review the brand new 2023 Lexus IS500 and in my opinion this car shouldn't exsist. Lexus stuck a thirsty v8 inside a small sedan. Why? Check out the IS 500's exterior, interior, features, hear about the drive and its powerful engine and exhaust.

Please don't compare this wonderful sport sedan V8 with any SUVs. This V8 with almost 500 hp gets 20 mpg is decent, and if you can find an old-school-V8-sport sedan with this much fun, value, and reliability, please buy it. Your title should be "the sport sedan should exist forever!"

I got mine two weeks ago with black exterior and red interior and I love it, I don’t even drive it that much I just let it sit there in a garage and look at it everyday and admire the beauty of it .

I placed an order for this car for the V8. I know that a lot of v8 are being phased out but Lexus/Toyota make solid naturally aspirated v6 and v8. I would rather have that than a turbo charged v6 or turbo inline 4 cylinders. Cant wait to get my IS 500!

Cars like these still need to exist. Because people that like these cars are buying this.. everybody is not buying in to boring SUVs.

v8 will last longer then any turbo car

[Gee_Dub]

That blue is great. Also v8s are not necessarily disappearing due to demand so much so as at least the US government is literally mandating that they have higher fleet avg mpgs which necessitates replacing the displacement down to turbo vacuum cleaner engines.

I drive the car the way it’s meant to be driven; so I average 14 to 16mpg, but I don’t care. Why? Because the SPMs (Smiles Per Miles) are immeasurably high. Hell…Shell Pump #5 has been added to the Christmas Card list. 😈😉 Thanks for posting.

This car is perfect and I’m glad that it does exist.

Sold my F10 M5 about a year before I bought a ‘23. Didn’t buy it bc I thought it would compete with an M car. I bought it for the NA V8, gorgeous styling, analog feel and reliability. Red light races & freeway pulls are fun - but dealing with constant repairs gets old.

I own a launch edition and boy it’s a great vehicle not to mention appreciation on these long term will be fantastic

[samrosen]

To me, it's crazy how people complain about the price considering it's less than a C43 with the same options

[ytj]

V8's are quite popular. Government regulations are not.

Plus this thing will give you 200, 000 miles. Easy.
Don't think of getting 200 thousand miles out of a BMW Mercedes or audi

I just picked up one of these in Iridium with the white interior a month ago. I absolutely love it. It is a beauty when cruising in Eco and a beast when in sport+. I love this car!

[abhisheknauduri]

My goodness what an absolute beast of a car. Beautiful! I love that blue. That's the color and car I'm looking into buying soon!

[preyes]

Lexus biggest fault is making this vehicle look too similar to the regular IS🤦🏻‍♂️

[WFO.]

Your reviews all real and unscripted. I like that.

[ARentz]

I have the Premium, and I can't imagine it any other way. There is something about a rowdy V-8 sedan with a... rear sunshade that just perfectly sums up this car. It is a comfy luxury cruiser but also can be a barrel of monkeys on a back road.

[samaccurso]

Good review but I don't believe you should ever compare this car to any suv, atleast compare to other similar sport sedans.

The Lexus IS 500 is one of the fastest selling cars for 2023 lol. Full disclosure, on the used market. But either way, these cars have a high demand. And we want more. V8 ftw
