David, Once again, let me offer congratulations on your acquisition of the LC 500!! Beyond the impeccable build quality and performance, my favourite feature of the LC is the blue interior.
I have owned two cars with blue interiors over the years. My first blue interior came with a 1979 Pontiac LeMans sedan and the second was installed in a 1980 Dodge Diplomat. I have to say, your blue interior is even nicer than those. 😉😉😉

Congrats on your new LC 500. In part because of your reviews I just purchased a Bespoke LC 500 2022. It is the best car I have ever driven and still learning all it has to offer.😁

Man, the looks of this car is timeless❤

[LCculater]

This car has a soul, I have a 2022 with performance pack black on black and just adore it . Was my retirement gift 😂. Great vid David .

Congratulations on your purchase this is my dream car. Great review style, no drama, crazy title or hyperbole. When this car first came out I thought it should wear the Supra badge but as time has gone on I realized why it didn’t, and have grown to like it even more. It’s a true GT car, a high end Japanese muscle car, not a dogfighting sports car. An excellent addition to the lineage of Lexus coupes.

Have had many European cars in the past, and now at an age that makes me feel that I have made a sensible decision to buy a Lexus LC500, I am a X Porsche mechanic, I do I have a very good mechanical background. This car is unique, it gives the driver a very enjoyable feeling when driving this car! Believe me the comments from other drivers that see my car is always favorable. Nobody ever comments on the look of my 911, far too common.
Great choice David excellent car, that will always put a big smile on your face.

David, thank you for sharing your driving experience with your new Inspiration series
LC500. The sound of the V-8 engine when idling, and when you started your drive was incredible.

Perfect vehicle for middle age guy like me! Great video David! 👍👍👍

[SalvatoreP-dr]

That's a pleasure looking car David. It always puts a smile on my face. Congratulations once more and enjoy it every time.

Absolutely gorgeous car! I never thought I'd say any Lexus is one of my dream cars, (the LFA was just too crazy expensive and looked a bit bland) but that was before the LC-500. It is now my goal to get one of these someday (lightly used) and take a supercar road trip...without the supercar anxiety.😉

[tomhui]

You have contributed to influencing me to go for this before it goes out of production 😄 Cheers!

Congratulations on the LC500!

I recently just traded my RC-350 F-Sport for an RC-F, and I have to say, the V8 is just a masterpiece. I'm hoping I can eventually get an LC down the road, I know the '18's have the cheapest buy-in, but after watching so many reviews on them, I'd like a newer one just due to all the suspension changes I've heard they made to make the ride much better in the newer models. Your Inspiration Series is truly a unicorn!

[juliusfakhoury]

Absolutely love this vehicle. Just purchased my first 2023 lc500 2 weeks ago 🙏

[ConfirmedPatriot]

Such a beauty. Feel like if the LFA were still around that is would be it’s current style.

[vpwl]

Congrats!! It's such an amazing car! Hopefully, in a few years, I'll be ready to pick one up.

[michaelcoffman]

Gorgeous car, congratulations!!!
I’m awaiting my Flare Yellow bespoke convertible. Looking forward to joining the family.
