I just watched that while having lunch. If that video doesn’t make you run into the dealership and get one, I don’t know what will.
It’s the best LC500 marketing material anywhere by anyone including Lexus themselves.

Did you guys see that? I mean the guy is talking about how to put in park and emergency brake. I thought it is so obvious to put car in park without placing it in neutral first. Maybe i didn’t understand something.
about the vipers it is a neat trick, but I believe you all know that you can move viper arms just pulling them and pushing them back and they move freely not like on my other Lexus you can’t move them and only if you apply some force they will switch to winter position.

2023 lc500
It's fun to watch someone who is not familiar with the LC experience it up close.
I don't think it's in the owners manual, but it's not good practice to store any bumpers in the front seat
LC at 9:24 mark

I hope whoever repairs it respectfully removes the exterior pieces from the interior without ruining everything!

Some takes:
Some takes:
- THE most underrated car you can buy today
- 2024 is the arguably the best year to buy due the elimination of that horrible touchpad interface
- Yamaha-tuned V8 doesn't sound American nor European. It is its own delicious thing!
- Sounds unbelievable. Looks unbelievable. You feel like a billion dollars driving down the road.

I like the newer tech much better. However, I do need to get used to the lack of the analog clock. There are 3 different ways to tell time though. One in the dash. The left corner of the native navi screen. Or right corner of the navi screen if connected to CarPlay. I get confused as to which one to look at.
It is a lot more responsive and LTA is much more usable combined with radar cruise control. And 360 camera.

I just don't understand the hate the touch pad gets, I have one and I am good with it. Now the touch screen is superior for sure but the integration into the dash is inferior to prior model years. So it is a personal choice between the 2023 and earlier model set up or the new one, I prefer what I currently have for aesthetic reasons.

Previous trackpad system brought the whole world down and he’s looking for a used one? Lol
It’ll be awhile if at all that the ‘24+ price will come down. By the time some ‘24 hit the used market, Lexus likely has stopped production of the V8 so the used prices will not go down that much.
Best time to buy used LC is now. But that means the trackpad as used ‘21 MY or prior are priced very nicely.
