Gorgeous Lexus Concept! Great Job Guys!

We need more of you two! Great collaboration!

Beautiful Lexus LF ZC, the relentless pursuit of perfection! 🎉❤

Hi David & Kirk! Beautiful car very nice design…🇯🇵🤍❤️

Really enjoy watching the two. There is a certain charm watching the generational dynamics and a shared enthusiasm for cars between them. I like it! I like the car too! Currently have a Tesla Model 3, but what I'm seeing at the Tokyo auto show looks really promising!

This is why I'll be picking up a lease returned BZ4X in a few years, the next generation batteries will make everything today look like 1920's technology!

I enjoyed the comical pointing at the same time. Very cool car! Gives me hope for electric.

Japan is pushing more EV and going global with it!! 😎👍👍

Imagine all the cool new cars on the road in Tokyo around 2026/2027

Amazing, I don't like the busy side on the door tho. The hear end is the best part IMO. And I absolutely love the new steering area with the dual screens, very jet fighter like looks.

I dunno... I wish I were there seeing that in person. Im not sold on the design over the tubes. Perhaps i need to see it more.

Love it! As a Lexus driver I am on board!!

I was soooooo waiting for these guys for this car! I was like :"why they don't talk about it?" !

I want to see it out in the light.

Just need a lifted prius and sienna

Looks like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica in the front.

Literally counting days until this car gets released!

The two of you make a great team, hope this is a start of a series of videos. But i think he’s in Vancouver if not mistake

Let's go Mazda! Zoom Zoom

Excellent

Well, the inside is pretty cool.

I love the push and can't wait for all this tech to make it to mainstream, but I hate the design trends of EVs trying to look weird and futuristic.

This car definitely wouldnt be for me looks wise. Weird angles dont do it for me. I prefer smooth curves. 😁

Lexus only and for ever😁

awesome Lexus EV!!

excellent

I hope Lexus makes this car. Beautiful car one of the best one yet.

Still seems very concept to me. THe production model will be much more toned down. Would rather see closer to production concepts like the truck.

They will not tone down....tgey know that they have to compete with the Chinese.....extravert styling is key..... . The RZ is a sales failure of epic proportions for Lexus, they know nowxthat they have to deliver in 2026.....a class leading, futuristic quality bev...and they will.

this better not be the next IS. What happened to that gorgeous IS concept from a year ago?

I would recommend that you have David Chao stay more in the background. He was always covering up the camera's view of the Car itself. So we saw more of David, which I'm sure he liked but we didn't see much of the car which was the point of this Preview. The other thing is David should keep a lid on it till you explained what your trying to describe, then David can add his comments. Remember this is the Kirk Kreifels KZread channel not the David Chao channel. I'm not saying he didn't add any value with some of his comments, but I wasn't i for an Origami Lesson about Japanese culture. Kirk really enjoyed your part of the coverage. It seemed more pertinent and focused towards the American Markets interest when viewing new concepts or new cars in general.

That looks very nice.

This cars rear end looks amazing

Hi. I'm seriously wondering if lexus will launch a coupe variant of the nx the rx...it wpuld be nice. Any idea?

Baby BZ4X sedan.👌

Yas finally! Waiting for this video since day one! Thanks fellas!

Next-gen CT model?

I wouldn’t want to be involved in a roll over in this car…😮

Great video

What if that rear hatch had a tailgate as well!? It’d buy it in a heartbeat

🤞🏼2028🤞🏼 Looks amazing. 10:43

I'm watching both channels now, thank you. Styling approach is complete opposite of Mazda's smooth as water shape. It's the ultimate angular version of, say, a Polestar and that's okay too. I wonder which approach is more aerodynamically efficient? Even acknowledging this car as a concept that needs to be festooned with gadgets I can't help feeling uncomfortable with Toyota's juxtaposing the sustainability of woven bamboo with the toxicity of LED panels.

That interior looks, well very bare bcs its a concept of course, but it looks very good. That dash seems like it could make it to production with bery little changes aside from the steering wheel.

Lexus is now Timeless. With Frameless Windows and HiQ Wood Grain Textured Vinyl Wrap.

I really would like to purchase a Lexus equivalent to the Prius but I’m not sure what the modern version of that it’s.

Would this be sinilar to the Cadillac Celestiq?

Beautiful concept! Did you do a video on the Infiniti Qe concept?

It wasnt at the event 😓

It’s a striking design, but there’s no way it comes to market looking like this. The biggest thing that will have to be changed is the continuous glass roof. It’s beautiful inside in a convention center under the lights but would be a complete greenhouse with the sun beating down on you. Even if they have electrochromic dimming, it still will allow too much sun into the cabin. I like the concept, but the reality of what’s commercially viable and what the public will actually buy will be completely different from this.

The back Light looks like a Cadillac

And Akio just repeated "I told you so" about vacuum cleaners.... :D

Lexus cars continue to get uglier with each iteration....The designers should walk over to see the Mazda Iconic SP. It is the antithesis of this design philosophy with simple, uncomplicated shapes and the right proportions which make for a timeless design!

It is extremely similar to Opel Experimental, if there had been a little greater distance in time, one would have immediately suspected that the Lexus was a copy.

I think this EV is a huge leap forward from the boring products Lexus is offering right now. 😄

A glass house on wheels 😰 🥵

3:45 Ive said multiple times im not sold on the design but I also do not like how Lexus and Toyota are breaking up the panels with black or in this shot on the C pillar that flat grey. It reminds me of when you bust up your car and go put some diff colored body panels on and don't get around to painting it. I know its not the same but that's the feel i get and its not something id pay money for.

Will never be build looking as this.

Prius like...er, I mean supercar like... nope... you were right the first time! Much closer to a prius than any supercar in design that is.

This is the future design and the Toyota GR MR2, and if you're not into a sporty look, the Cadillac Lyriq and Celestiq are the better choices...

But can it travel in time? I need to ask Doctor Brown a few questions.

Blade Runner vibes

Yea this looks pretty bad lmao. Front is hideous and front doors look like they’re dented at a glance. Rear is ok though I guess

This looks like a direct replacement for the IS500 which uses a V8. Next gen compact luxury sedan. Edit: A question I have is how will luxury brands marry the design ethos or elements of luxury with futuristic designs? Because the 2 seem to clash and be opposites of each other. Future designs are always very utilitarian, logical, clinical. While Luxury I associte with leather, wood trimmings, suede, alcantara, etc. So I'm wondering how Lexus will marry those 2 opposing design elements.

Too many ultra pricy EVs out there. Makes it hard for me to get excited. I am looking forward to the battery technology being mainstreamed. And hopefully making its way to the EPU. Way more excited for the trucks from Toyota.

Do you really like those front doors? Looks like someone kicked in the doors. 😮

the stirring wheel look unsafe .

This doesn't deserve the LF nameplate

Agree 💯

Looks good from the outside. Inside I am not sure. But Toyota has already lost the race. I mean in this video there is a debate if this thing will ever see production or how close production car will be to this. In China Hiphi and others are already producing these type of vehicles. So Toyota has lost no matter what they do.

2023 they s can't make a production car as the concept car humanity really failed we should've flying cars and autonomous cars by now

Looks atrocious

And still you plug in and sit f or 20 minutes or 20 hours. This is a Lexus which means pricey. You're going to pay a fortune for that letter L on the front of your car. Plus for that 500 miles of range, 100 thousand dollars minimum. With fueling once a month, (once a month) which takes me 3 to 5 minutes and not 20 minutes or 20 hours, I'll keep my jaguar XJl. With a range of 570 miles which supersedes any EV including this 100 thousand dollar lexus. At 41 thousand dollars, my jaguar is paid off.

THIS CAR LEXUS NOT PRODUCT READY TRUNK SPACE LONGER NO BUMPER NO DASHBOARD NOT READY.2026...

I am sorry, but it doesn't look good at all. Customers want futuristic and eco-friendly cars but still appreciate their aesthetics. IMHO, this design lacks that appeal. However, thank you guys.

When are these automakers going to stop throwing money into EV when people dont want them? Weird business model.

Mazda designs also suck, in my opinion. Not quite as bad as this, but they are very bland, with every Mazda car all looking the same, no matter what model you buy.

フロントガラスを寝かせて、ダッシュボードが深いとガラスやダッシュボードが拭けない使いづらい

I'm very disappointed with Lexus' styling. Ever since the spindle grill was voted the most hideous, front end of all major brands, they doubled down on it and have now tried various modifications of it. This one takes it onto the hood, and the lights, but there are way too many random angles in the body with triangles and spikes coming off the front-end. The tech may be great, but the design does not bring out good emotions. This car looks like it was designed by Japanese guy who never got past playing with Gundams toys.

This is a good start. At least they got rid of the hideous spindle grill. I may have to get one if my SC400 ever dies.
