One of the most elegant looking modern cars out there. And that engine is just pure eargasm.

[edmasoud]

I had my eyes on 911 Carrera S, and C8, and even AMG GT. All of them great cars, but their reliability always was in the back of my mind. When the 2024 LC 500 came out with the touch screen, it was a game changer for me. I put an order, and waiting for dealer to confirm if Lexus accepts the build which might take 6-7 months.

[davidpavlich]

This is a Grand Tourer of the first order. It was never built to compete with a 'Vette in the performance realm. But it runs circles around the 'Vette when it comes to class, style, and sophistication.

I've owned the corvette z51, the Jag F type R, and now the Lexus LC 500 convertible. I like the LC the most. It turns more heads and the comfort cannot be beat. It also has a 10 year unlimited miles warranty. The Lexus dealer treats me like a king when I roll in. With all that stuff in mind - the quality of the car has me worry free. It is my daily driver if it even remotely works & I run it hard. I wish it accelerated like the vet, and miss the AWD of the F type. We can't have it all now can we?

[bcvijasiu]

Between those 4 options, I would take the LC500, hands down.

The only lexes on sale that’s impossible to hate on

I mean look at it. Exterior is stunning. Interior is still out of this world. Comfort is tops. V8 sounds fantastic

Just ordered a Bespoke 2024 model today! The wait will be terrible, but it'll all be worth it upon delivery. Great video!

[GreyCrowe]

I can't wait to be the 4th owner to one of these beauties 🤞

[ItsJJECC]

Will forever be my dream car. Cant wait to get one next year 😏🔥

[drsssssssss]

Great review. I'm glad you posted it. I thought for over a year on this, ended up with 2023 Corvette stingray, 2lt, and it gets lots of compliments whenever I drive it. But still, the LC 500 is so sexy and appealing, it was a tough call. I hope it sticks around long enough for me to get one in a few years.

[bigdlife]

Loved mine, and Flare Yellow got SOO much attention. Nailed it. You perfectly described how balky & clunky the transmission is in normal driving for no good reason, so that’s unique.

If you can own one, one day. Just do it.

This engine with Lexus build quality is just…💯✅

[WeBuildLife]

Almost got an LC500, but they wanted 25k over sticker, and wouldnt let me test drive without putting my credit info down so I walked. Ended up with an F type R which is super fun.

[jamesjin]

You make a great point here miles. This car perhaps isn’t the most optimized choice, especially given the statistics you shared about the Corvette. However, the buyer of the LC500 has probably made a deliberate, contemplative, and (hopefully) ultimately content decision. This is almost like the AMG E53 you reviewed couple years back —— a car for life’s winners.

[jeffreymorris]

My neighbor has one in our Condo garage. Many more expensive and, frankly, better vehicles in that garage, but this LC500 gets the most compliments. Non car people think it's an exotic. Gets offers on it all of the time.

[RichWithCars]

I personally went for the LC500. I went even more visceral by swapping the exhaust to an Armytrix...A little over 5 yrs later, I'm still in love with it....

[eddstarr]

What a fascinating observation, Miles. Chrome clashes with Yellow, I've always thought so too. With so many modern finishes available on wheels it's easier to see Yellow paintwork (especially the mustard variety) paired with more pleasing wheels and trim pieces. What a shame Lexus offers the V8 only in the coupe, sales of the LS sedan would be transformed with that engine. The LC500 remains the flagship of the Lexus fleet and it's unique combination of features will make it a collector's prize in the future. Thank you, Miles.

[yes]

The most beautiful underrated modern car no one will buy unfortunately

[modenamilan]
