    The last minutes of the video don’t only show your growth as a youtuber and car journalist, but your growth as a person. To not take revenge on someone or to just let anger, rage and other emotions consume you, that’s what’s growth is about. I’m proud of your attitude, proud of your videos and proud of being a being a viewer of yours. Thank you, Zack

    The LS is such an underrated car among snobby car magazines and KZread creators. It's not a 7 Series, A8, or S Class.

    It has nothing to prove to anyone. It's a competent luxury car with a proven powertrain. It doesn't try to be anything more and that's what makes it great.

    It’s a true luxury car that doesn’t get confused and try to be a sports car at the same time. Which in my opinion, is what is ruining modern cars. Huge SUV’s and luxury sedans don’t need 35 profile tires with super stiff suspension and 700 horsepower. I love Lexus for this reason

    The 3.5 that is used in hybrids is the 2GR-FXE engine, which is an evolution of the 2GR-FE engine. So technically it's an old engine. Not quite 20 years old yet though, the 2GR-FE was first produced in 2005 for the Toyota Avalon.

    I am glad to see a better interior/infotainment system. We have 2 2019 LS500H butt haulers at my work and the infotainment is god awful. It has that stupid touchpad with no way to get to a lot of controls unless you dig in menus. Massage seats work nice too. Hybrid system seems dull compared to my Accord hybrid.

    Zack. Keep doing what you are doing! Long time follower of your channel and see substantial improvements from the humble beginning. Like this Lexus. It’s a subtle luxury car that doesn’t scream for attention. Obviously the market might not be looking for this and it could be the downside hurting the sales against competition. But if I am buying a luxury car as a keeper. Lexus is what I am going with.

    I would be more impressed if someone pulled up in one of these than an S-Class or 7-Series. The Mercedes-Benz and the BMW are the easy choices if you want an ostentatious full-size luxury car. You have to choose an LS500. The LS500 is restrained, calm, subtle, and has nothing to prove to anyone. It doesn't stand out. It may not be quite as nice as the S-Class or 7-Series but it will still be going long after those cars have gotten bricked because of some obscure German engineering. The best revenge is living well. You've done well getting a Lexus LS500h press car to roll around in.

    just wanted to confirm those are 19" not the 20" upgrade wheels. Still, smaller wheels, better ride and mileage.

    Unfortunately this Lexus Is a huge disappointment compared to previous ones. The engine is loud. The interior is cramped. No rear toe space. The ride is not as good as previous generation. It’s a shake because the exterior and interior look amazing. Especially with the kirko glass

    For ride, safety and more pot hole protection I much prefer the smaller wheels over the typical Hot Wheel wagon wheels so many are using nowadays. 1mpg difference to me isnt worth it, and Im not a fan of the big wheel look either. If they used 18s Id even like it more. Just my opinion.

    Never got the point of having/building a performance luxury car. A luxury car should be such a nice place to be you would want to go as slow as possible to make the trip last longer. As I was once told the greatest luxury is to count time in moments instead of minutes.
