I seen the LS F Sport in person, my fuckin gawd it's beautiful!!!! Especially in Black. Now we wait till the Bi Turbo V8 beast is available, then I'll see it as a real competitor.

this is a very confusing review. you're saying that it's not with buying but you encourage people to buy it. stop straddling the fence and give us an honest view point

This guy is good. He is informative and entertaining. The people complaining about the "language" are either trolls or prudes. It was bleeped out. Why are you complaining? I really enjoyed this which is more than I can say about others.

Interesting fact, they eliminated the long wheel base... so the I guess moved the front seats up 2.7” and added 2.2” to the rear compared to the old standard LS460. I’m going to have to sit on one. My 2017 LS460 is right on the edge of legroom in the front as it is. I couldn’t imagine losing 2.7”

I turned the volume off and just played music in the background while watching this footage of the LS in my favorite color.

Define young. Yes, college kids aren’t running out to buy a Lexus. But young professionals have been flocking to Lexus in droves. Check your facts. They understand that Lexus may not be “the best of the best” ; but, when people want a reliable luxury car that they don’t have to worry about fixing every month: they buy a Lexus. Now more than ever before.

I currently drive the Audi A 8L and it is 2011 very nice car but lately, it cost so much money to keep it running. Moving to this LS 500 Lexus is a step down from the Audi and after watching your video I may have to think about this. Thanks Good video

I'm not sure why you're so hard on the F sport model when *cough cough* BMW M760Li, Mercedes S550 AMG, Audi S8, Jaguar XJR; point is I don't hear nobody complaining 'bout them, and singling the Lexus out of all these other cars with the same cushy counterparts and price and mission doesn't make sense to me.

I’d lease a 7series but own the LS..long term

they're infotainment looks like it was designed for touchscreen operation but somebody decided otherwise at the last second

My question is what makes the LS worth 2 ES's what about it makes it 100000 I would want 2 es's please help

I couldn't possibly disagree with this review more. I love this new LS and the F Sport is the only trim I'd buy. This guy probably prefers the overweight, sluggish hybrid. Did it ever occur to you that maybe Lexus is trying to expand LS appeal beyond the silver haired demographic? I'm not a senior citizen and the LS F Sport is at the top of my list, based primarily on price and reliability, but the driving dynamics are also excellent if equipped with RWD and optional air suspension...the only correct configuration for the driving enthusiast.

I rather get an ls 460 l awd no f sport, dont know why they did that in the first place the LS isnt made to be sporty. But I dont know if im ready for a LS since im still in my 30s thats why i have a GS but maybe just maybe I will get one next . If not then I will just get an A8 L 4.0T

N I C E ! ! !

Being left handed sure helps in this car

I test drove both the Lexus LS500 and Mercedes E450 and S450. The Lexus comfort ride quality is the same as the E450 but nowhere close to the S450. The Lexus interior is below both Mercedes in terms of luxury. Shifts are way smoother in the MB.

Toyota/Lexus should've spent that extra money on actually building a plug-in hybrid. It's a no go for many, which is a deep shame

I think reliability and built quality is more important than entertainment system Lexus cannot go wrong if anyone planing to keep the car long term . German cars. Just least. It. regardless of KZread. presenters love with German cars

Wow, this robot is doing a great job being human.

I'm 49. I bought one. Guess I'm old. :)

This is a terrible review. You have no idea what you are talking about. Lexus LS is great luxury car. Compare this to the Korean counterpart. The German cars have loads of inherent problems with regards to quality control. Go talk to real owners instead of making this unhelpful video.

This is a car for the type of guy who wears running shoes to the club

Where is Cooley?!

Lexus need a rotary knob for the info controller along with a click selection push button! Old people just do not know how to use the modern touch screens since they usually do not own smartphones. I am talking here people 50 years old and over. (Yes, their the engineers and tech guys that can using touch screens that are old). So Lexus got it sort of right in using a laptop trackpad.

ya i will have to agree that the f sport is useless. just get the regular LS and that should be great..and i too hate that pad. Especially when driving. When parked its all fine ..but when its moving its horrible to use. I would prefer the knob. but overall its a nice looking car. I would still prefer the older generation LS

Where is Cooley

F Sport is great!

I still don't get how lexus 1.) Okay-ed that system and 2.) has kept it for so long. I do like the price, and it's a pretty good car for it, but I just could not live with that system. For that reason alone i'll either be over at the Cadillac or Genesis dealer.

Reliability

Here is my opinion that nobody else online shares: I couldn't care less about infotainment. Its a car not an ipad. Talk about the drive.

Too each their own based on your opinion of the infotainment and f sport package (even tho every other car in this class has one too). But tbh you failed to talk about a few noteworthy things like vehicle tech. None of the vehicles in this class are truly meant to be sporty. Sans the true AMG and M, S8. Part of me just wants Cooley back tbh. It should have been him and only him from the get go.

So you buy a car because of an infotainment system????????? I do not think so, this car is about excellent quality, style and superior fit and finish.

Did I hear you say something negative about Toyo/Lexus?! Now I'm going to proceed to tell you how wrong and biased you are and hurl a couple insults at you. -Toyota fans.

We're not saying that it's a bad car. Honesty is more important than making the audience happy.

Seeing this car in real life at the NY Auto Show, I was extremely disappointed. The exterior design is unique but it could grow on me. The interior design is very unique, but I found the materials quality to be very, very disappointing. Walking over from the Genesis G90 to the Lexus LS was a no-contest win for the G90. The LS was once a great car. With the combination of unusably poor infotainment ( _JUST_ use a knob, not that worthless trackpad thing) and iffy interior materials quality, fit and finish, I have to say this car is a "no thanks".

It’s fashionable to put down the Lexus infotainment system..all journos do that. When they can’t find anything to ridicule with the car then the last resort is to go for the tried and tested excuse of infotainment system. I remember when everyone complained about the mouse/joystick format controller and asked for the trackpad format. Now that they have it, it’s back to square one on excuses. A person that can afford such cars is not dumb and can easily navigate the system unlike the bias that the reviewer holds against them.

Sounds like a hater to me. Really nit picking. When you compare to an AMG, don't forget to include the difference in cost for maintenance. The AMG will put you into an early grave. I'm actually looking at a used ls500 luxury right now, and i can honestly say when I got in it and drove it, it was one of (if not thee) nicest cars I have ever been in.
