To be fair this reviewer loves the LC 500 and called it a phenomenal car. His complaints were nitpicking in scale. One example, not having a powered trunk opener. He admits he could not find any major issues. In the big picture scheme of things he finds the LC 500 to be rather amazing.
Love my '21 so much I have a ‘26 Bespoke on order to replace it.

This is the Car Care Nut. He’s done 4 separate LC 500 videos and adores the car. he is a master Toyota and Lexus mechanic and flatly states the LC 500 is one of the best built automobiles ever! This entire video is quite informative. At 12:45 he goes beneath the car for a detailed explanation. I think you will appreciate this.

Jakub and Yuri review the 2026 Lexus LC500 Inspiration Series and Lexus IS500 Ultimate Edition on The Straight Pipes. The Lexus LC500 is putting down 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque from a 5L V8, and the Lexus IS500 is putting down 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque from a 5L V8. At $85,000 CAD for the IS500 and $134,835 CAD for the LC500.

Kinda like how Mercedes never gave the glorious NA VA in the SLK55 the love it deserved with a proper transmission (or manual version). The engine was amazing and was held back by that dog of a 7 speed auto, then they killed it after 2016 when they finally put a better trans in the SLC for 4 years but married it to a TT V6.
An LCF would have been a true unicorn.
