I was wrong about the sunroof, it's optional. Carry on 😅

The interior of the IS500 is perfect. It balances useful physical buttons with a modern but not overly complicated touchscreen. I've had my IS500 for over 1200 miles and no complaints whatsoever. A lot of people are clamoring for the NX infotainment update but its not aesthetically pleasing or easier to use. In 20 years the IS interior will have aged very well, you can bet on it!

I enjoyed this Q/A Review!! You should definitely incorporate it as a segment on your reviews. It is a great way to stand up from the other car reviewers!

Like father like son.. Great communicators. He's a good choice for more of the future co-hosting!

[aritruths]

Great that you did this Kirk. It answered many of my questions. In the end its just a great car with an old school reliable V8!

[DylanFoos]

Great video! Loved the cameo by your Dad!! Gonna have to have more vids with him in it! Thanks for answering my question and all of the others!

That was cool, having you dad in this, my IS 500 has the automatic steering wheel as well as the sunroof, love this vehicle

[chinzilla]

I’ve been waiting for this one Kirk! Keep up the good work!

One thing to consider about the "death of the V-8" is that they have to produce a specific number of cars so equipped to keep using them in NASCAR.

Respects to you from Germany for having your nice papa engaged. It’s so great.
And thanks for the good info you shared. I am getting my IS 300h F Sport soon. It’s won me after some time of research and test drive.

[callmej]

Love how your Dad looked left and right when you said you were going to hammer it at the light. FSP could be anywhere right? Obviously he’s had experience with your “spirited driving” before 😊 LOL. Nice format with the Q&A test ride. Would be cool to have a buddy take a few shots of you guys from another car in formation…

I have been really wanting a new high performance hybrid from Lexus ( a more modern gs 450h type set up ) so that could be an interesting set up with more modern power train components for more fsport models as they come out 🤔🤔

[kenwong]

Stunning and amazing design! Lexus IS 500 2022 is incredible!! Young, energetic and fun!!

[Bikersnod]

Awesome video Kirk - Thanks for answering my question. Excited to see what a hybrid 'F' car will look like in the not so distant future!

Its funny cause i was on the BEV bandwagon back in the day. I bought a Focus EV when they JUST came out cause I thought the leaf was dorky, and it still is. I thought I was cool guy rocking my EV w/ everyone else gassing up. After a year I decided to test drive a Mustang GT just for funzies. I started that thing up and Skrew this BEV. That mustang grabbed me by the collar and shouted at me. Dont go fondly into that good night!!!!

[mohamedalihebboul]

Very interesting questions by a very serious father, thanks Kirk you must do you best in taking care of your father.

[lrodd]

The first upgrade on this bad boy would be the exhaust. It sounds pretty weak in its stock form. I love everything else though 😎👍
Cool seeing your pops included in this one !

[aurorajones]

5:39 Thats how most AT work tho. You need to drop it into sport or choose your gears to get the quickest response. Case in point in traffic. You see a placement you want in traffic start to open up. You then downshift yourself. Done now your in a higher gear for a split second that door opens you mash the pedal (assuming you checked for safety) take your spot. If you hadn't done this you could have lost your opportunity due to the lag of time from the tranny. Sport in the 2020 ILX works for this as it has a DCT which is the best thing about the entire car.

[jasonalpha]

Love the colour. Great car, great video

[juanferlopez]

Excellent format and nice to meet your dad. That red makes this car look even hotter but my mind is set on replacing my ‘19RX with the new model. God only knows when that will be possible.
