Lexus is a partner and sponsor of the Chicago Blackhawks.
I believe the image was applied to wall like wall paper.
I dont remember the date of the game. I don't know if it is still there.

Default Should you buy a USED Lexus LC500?

From the video description:
Is the Lexus LC 500 the best used luxury sports car you can buy right now? In this video we put one of the most stunning and distinctive grand tourers on the market through its paces to find out if it's worth your money.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, the LC 500 delivers a driving experience and soundtrack that few cars at any price can match. Add in Lexus's legendary reliability and you have a seriously compelling used car proposition.
We cover everything you need to know before buying, including the full walkaround, interior quality, driving impressions, common issues to watch for, and whether the LC 500 represents good value in the used market.

Fair to say those lads love the LC, even though the example they drove for filming was an early car which looked well worn inside! I do like the whole concept of the ReDriven channel - not just hyping the latest/greatest, but taking a look at cars a few years old, to tell you more about the ownership experience... They were also pretty enthusiastic about the RCF and GS F, as I recall.

You would have no issue standing on the pedal during day-to-day or even canyon driving that 99.99% of owners are doing.

Pretty clear that these guys have never actually driven one of these cars, or even know very much about it... Perhaps explains why nobody seems to watch their videos - it's essentially the online equivalent of sitting at a bar, listening to some bozo rant on about something they don't really know much about...

I have to agree with your comment and they are sadly spreading misinformation. If anything the LC 500 brakes are viewed as one of its many strengths.

Agreed. At the risk of bumping their video AT ALL in the algorithm I commented as such on it. That video smells like someone trying (miserably) to capitalize on perceived popularity of the LC (niche as it may be) for clicks. They have no idea what they're talking about, and it shows.

The LC's chassis is so solid that just about ANY reasonable brake setup would stop it just fine as it has minimal to no weight transfer when standing on the brakes in an emergency ABS scenario. It stops far better than the more performance-oriented RCF, in fact, at least in my real-world personal tests.

I have never driven an RCF, but I did own an ISF for over ten years. Both the RCF and the ISF use Brembo brand brakes, a performance brake specialist. The LC uses Advics-brand brakes that appear to be a copy of the Brembo caliper. I luvd the Brembos on my iSF, especially after I switched to Ferodo pads. My impression of the LC brakes is also very high. I have the standard Lexus HiPo pads, and they do an excellent job in fast, even stops with little fade and no noise. So far, I have not seen a reason to change the pads. When I do, it will be for Project MU.
