The best thing about Raiti's Rides is the set structure. You know that after he talks about the rear end, he pops the hood and talks power and mpg numbers. Then, camera scoots in to the passenger side door and he tells you the price. If you've been around for awhile, you know where the sections of the review are that you care about.

One of the interior option is that you can get the glass art, and the “origami” red or black on the door side. It’s very expensive tho to get that kind of option since it’s hand crafted with precision in Japan. But, it’s pretty amazing how this Lexus makes every car in their lineup very unique.

No one is buying the LS. The Germans outsell them in the US and worldwide.

It’s a beautiful luxury car for sure.

My favorite luxury sedan. Big grilles are here to stay, I'm already used to them.

Glad it has a CD player. Lexus IS one of the last bastions in the modern car industry to still hold on to the good ole CD player!

Just bought a 21 LS 500 in Matador Red with that same gorgeous tan interior. Pano roof, AWD, and super low miles. She is smooth, super quiet, and shoots to 100+ mph before you know it. The interior is so nice that you just wanna hang out in it for the heated massage.

Great video, great review.

I just bought an older ES350. 10 years old, but I love it. Everything works as new and I wouldn't think twice about driving it across country. I aspire to own one of these new LS500's one day in the near future. Lexus does it the best. I probably never own anything but Lexus from here on out

That grill is amazing 👏 😋 😍

Love my LC 200, but man, also my ‘20 LS 500 F-Sport! Nothing like a big long, lean, lethal sedan for road-tripping - they reign supreme in my humble opinion😊
