Here is a former rally racer with a double crazy collection in Monaco.
About 13:30 he starts in about his LC and dishes about it for a while.

After one year David Chao has decided to sell his 2024 Inspiration LC.

@6:27 Steering seems to be his biggest complaint.
@10:30 Depreciation
@11:17 insurance is almost 70% higher than anything he has ever owned.

That's what youtubers do....generally its all about content & flexing.....onto the next thing.....

Edit, just watched the video, heaps of contradictions in it....... my guess is the next one is 4WD Porsche

Interesting how much insurance varies for everyone. My LC costs less than $10/mo more than my 2014 GS350 did to insure, same exact coverages.

I tried to watch the video and got annoyed by "if Lexus can FIX the steering..." over and over. Finally 16 minutes to realize "oh this is a GT car"

The steering feel is intentional, not something Lexus "hasn't figured out how to do." I am curious to drive a 2025 and see how big the difference really is in terms of steering feedback vs. pre-25 models. I also notice he isn't driving in Sport+, the steering feedback is significantly better in that mode.

Still can't believe a Guy with his experience & standing in the industry kept comparing it to a 911, chalk & cheese

I wonder if the lease is up ?

That's a good point on the Sport+ driving mode. I don't recall him ever talking about driving in sport or Sport+.

Lol. I’ve been saying it. This guy is not going to keep the LC for long. His Lexus revolving door is always spinning.
I lost all trust and respect after seeing him complained about the IS500 he just got for 3 months and his knees so he traded in for a GX460. Okay. That’s legit. Within 6 month or something like that, he got the LC500. Like wtf?
I’m an engineer but I get really annoyed of him labeling his video as Engineer this and engineer that. Okay. You’re an engineer. So what? Lol
I haven’t watched his video for the past year.
