Finally a review where the scenery matches the car lol

[brentwhite]

This is the drive we dream about at work.

“You can really enjoy music when you’re driving”
LC: “I AM the music”

[jamesj]

I'm a simple man - I see Chris in another LC500 in the canyons, I click

[YAboss]

That rev limiter is music to my ears. One of the best sounding cars on the road today

[christaylor]

I can say with confidence, this is one of my bucket list items. A LC and a coastal road

[rulz]

This is also one of the best SOUNDING drives you’ve ever done 😍😍

[aqz]

We, as the viewers could tell how much you enjoyed the drive. The V8, the beautiful Cali scenery and just that right time in one’s life. Everything coming together for you. Couldn’t be happier for you man!

[TCxfan]

i feel like i got more value from this video than i do from therapy. the canyon gods truly had your back on that one. almost no traffic, perfect road, perfect weather, no cops, drop top and a v8. cant ask for much more. thanks for letting me ride shotgun.

[eedoamitay]

This is definitely one of the best videos you ve made

"You don't have to worry about your maps flying around". What is this "map" thing you talk about? Do you mean your phone with google maps?

[ridgefrost]

Toyota has got to be the greatest automotive company to ever exist, the entire company is very versatile and stayed consistent over the years

[aritruths]

Had a chance to drive this car and the experience was unbelievable! What a masterpiece and beauty at heart! Great Review!

[papayamango]

That interior color is just... WOW. It's so Love that exhaust sound, too.

[camberr]

What a beautiful drive this is. I live in socal and this past summer my dad and I took an ND Miata from la up the coast to San Francisco and what an amazing drive it was

[chookwooma]

That resonance at 10:31 is one of my favorite parts of the exhaust sound

[AndrewPruteanu]

This thing is absolutely insane, there's a reason it's my pfp. The downshifts sound insane, it looks amazing, it's a very nice car.

[ofeebape]

Better Quality than an Aston Martin, cheaper to maintain than a Ferrari, cheaper to buy than a Bentley. Something different than a BMW or Merc.... The lexus LC500 is an underrated gem!!!

[ChrisWalksFast]

I’m so glad Lexus gave you this car to use. Without your videos this car would never be on my radar but now it is!

[HisMajesty]

This is so satisfying just to watch. I can’t even imagine how satisfying it would be to actually drive it
