no idea what this model. I’d get the license plate Casper if it were mine
Ok this is harsh fashion police but those rims are hideous and look ghetto, even though they are stock RR rims. And what a stupid color to choose to have a contrasting chrome top with. Otherwise, a white RR is probably the best white you can ever see. This Rolls is a mess in the looks department.
in sport s and sport s+ modes car limits to 8 gear and will stay in lower gears... here at 68mph it's in 7th and 'ready to go'.
in normal/comfort modes (there's an eco mode but who cares) car uses all 10 gears and upshifts ASAP. here at, uh, higher speed. look how low the rpms are!

Never mind the rims.....those rubber-band tires are even more ridiculous.
Never could quite understand the attractiveness of matte paint-jobs to some people. To me, they look they have been sitting out in the sun for 20 years, before the days of clearcoat.

A large purring V8 giving you 1800RPMs at 85MPH is great. You have an LC with 8 thousand freaking miles... I envy you my friend.
Well.....I am 5 minutes in and it really does seem like all of these are the same/really freaking needy. The two I see from time to time I just assumed were beaten on lol!
EDIT: Yeah so a lot of what I am seeing/seen/heard is just like the trauma I endured with my LS430 lol! Man these things are expensive to own and apparently it's just like the LSs where stuff WILL break no matter what you do

Nice, that engine is practically idling.
How many miles do you have on her now?

I don't get it either but some people love the matte look. To me a car has to be shiny the more the better.

You're the only person on here who reports problems that seriously leave a bad taste in your mouth with literally Lexus' most reliable cars lol.
My LS430 has needed less than a grand-$1500 on repairs in 20 years, and $700 of it was a door lock actuator. I think I did a LCA bushing once too. A rubber wear part. The car's a brick. 157k on it and fully feels ready to go triple more. No offense but I wouldn't trust a V12 German car past 50k, let alone to go the REAL distance like LS430s have proven constantly over the years. I own a Mercedes that's pretty reliable, but it's not just stupid, insane reliable like an LS. Cost of ownership is noticeably more.
Absolutely zero has gone wrong on the LX570 except an alternator that my spouse fried from jumping incorrectly as well. I have beaten the ever loving shyyyyyt out of this truck for three years and not one fuss. Still looks brand new when washed.

If I didn't have to personally fix so much stuff on multiple 430s/and LXs I would also say they are great....but I've had to fix too much for them to be fully right. Issue too is that the issues in question were really really involved and expensive parts....
I thought the same as you until I owned a bunch of W12s, they simply do not have issues even when I go looking for them. The phaeton has 160k on it as doesn't even have a leak to address somehow, far less issues than my 430 ever had even with so much more going on
