- The Lexus LC500 is an absolutely breath taking beautiful car, and its arguably what the MK5 Supra should have been based on, but why didn't it get as much recognition.

"I don't care if this thing is fast on paper. It's an experience." - Sarah, 2019
True car enthusiast words 👍🏻
Bean lives matter.
Way too heavy.
agree, have a GS F , yes it is an experience. Very special car.
Completely agree. A car stopping from 70mph in X feet vs Y feet doesn’t tell me what Sarah communicates with “it stops good” and her genuine facial expression. It made me laugh, but more importantly, I knew viscerally what she meant. There’s a time for jargon and stats, and there’s a time for human reaction.
Sarah, you need to get someone to loan you their Tesla. I’d love to see your reaction. Visceral speed with no sound, no gear changes... surreal and alien, yet intoxicating. As a true gear head, i’m wondering how it would match up with your expectations and preconceptions.
"...NOT fast on paper...." Was the quote for all you quote nazis....that car looks red hot...literally
@@icanfartloud Drive one and you will get it....
I have this car and I think you are the only person that I have seen do a review that’s very fair on this car. I think so many people forget it’s a GT car. The ride is superb. it’s not expensive to maintain at all in comparison. People hear it’s a v8 and has almost 500hp and expect more sport. It can feel sporty and the chassis can def handle way more power. I had Aston Martin previous to this car and no one talks about maintenance cost. There is no maintenance in this car. My vantage (drive it a lot or not) cost 10k a year to maintain. It has to be maintained and serviced weather you are driving it or not. At 40k miles my clutch went out etc. the engine needed to be synced continuously. Your payments and insurance brakes tires and a battery is all you will have to do to this car for 100k plus miles. I had my vantage for 5 years and out approx 10k cruising miles on it a year. And my maintenance cost were more than Half of the price of the car. Over 78k. For 55k miles. Just FYI most Aston Martin owners on average only drive 2k miles or less a year. Aston martin provides no warranty. You MUST pay for it and it ONLY covers maintenance! You can choose 12-24 months when brand new but most drivers only put 2k miles on per year so if u get up in miles they won’t offer you a renewal
To purchase a warranty since it’s based on age and when where u purchased your car. The max out of pocket is the value of the car. You can get a warranty up to 10 years but u can’t have more than 2k miles per year or you won’t be offered a warranty. What most people consider maintenance will be repairs on an Aston Martin. I lost money in the depreciation also. This will hold its value. Ironic to what most people would expect. I also had a Maserati gran tourismo. It was even more needy than my Aston Martin. My local Maserati dealer closed due to lack of sales so I had to take the car to Ferrari for maintenance and repairs. I’m sure that did not help cost.
@Italia 458driver - Is this still your opinion today? Has the maintenance costs remined low this many years later? Thanks in advance.
You nailed it. The Supra should have been a sister model to the LC500
Or, at the very least, more representative of FT-1 concept.
Vladimir Santos it would never be $50k starting price tho
f181234 hey, someone that gets it!
Yep 100% correct
Yup Supra nailed it
Hey everyone, yes... there are loud cicadas in the first few seconds of the video. Nothing I could do about it after this was shot. 💩 happens! 🤷🏻♀️
Scotty reference!
love your work!
WHAT?
Shaved Kittens?LOL
Hope you got them later on into the deep fryer. There healthy and full of protein. 🔥🥢🥡🍷
Its ok but for less money I would choose the Corvette.
The awkwardness comes off as genuine and, funny as byproduct of that.
Truly stunning, and the sound is just amazing. The bonus of the LC is that it isn't another 911. Great review Sarah
Awesome review, very informative and funny! Great video too, especially like the back seat demo.
my favorite back seat in and out demonstration 😂🤣
Agreed. Kind of looks like a baby deer; lots of legs trying to find a way. Super cute.
I think Lexus wanted it that way Lexus likes it tight in the back but don’t tell Lexus I said that it might ruin the surprise 😂
Lexus don’t got no time for no hoes in the back that just weighs it down more than advertised and Lexus doesn’t need that
@@jefrhi THISSSSS ISSSSSSS the back seat of twenty NINNNEEETEENNN Lexus LC 500 and it is the best... back seat of a luxury car yet. But before we look at the quirksss and feuturessssss........ (can't remember what he says after this).
Doug is a pretty memorable dude lol.
@@jefrhi I was just thinking that! This is a HUGE upgrade! She's funny too!
"It Stops Good", "Upside Down Star Fruit", "Driving with My Teeth".. "five-hundo.. five-hundred for you fancy folk"... You're the best Sarah, totally love you!
Love your car reviews!! Keep up the amazing job, love your channel!!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE REFERENCE FOR THE NEW SUPRA 💯💯
I love this girls humor 🤣 I can watch u all day long lol
Good review, fun to watch. I really love that car, it looks great in photos but even better in person. Tim.
This made me happy. Smiled all the way through it.
I love how honest your reviews are. If you think something is shit, you tell us. If you love something you tell us. Your reactions, to the cars performance, look and feel honest. Because they are. Thank you making reviews for car lovers, not advertisers.
Gosh what strange times we are living in when a car has 470bhp and does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and thats not enough to call it "fast".
Agree about the looks though, the grille is not to my taste but even so it turns heads. I was following one the other week and I couldn't stop staring at it. And it sounds good too.
soundseeker63 this Lexus V8 sounds better then any of the new BMW M and AMG cars
What a time we live in when a 4.4 0-60 is "slow".
N. K when the BMW 750I does it in 3.9
N. K my thoughts exactly!
N. K well considering that all cars can be boosted to 2000-3000-5000 horses very easily 3 seconds its already looking slow, i bet you in 20 years family hondas will have 500 to 600 horses
@@haywood12 You should wait for the LCF
Or 2.4 P100D
"I feel like they shaved a bunch of kittens to make this trunk lining material..." LMAO!!
SabreFiveFour the moment that part played, I saw your comment. Fate has brought us together.
Another wonderful review by the best on CZcams. Sarah’s knowledge and sense of humor always makes her reviews enjoyable 😊
Sarah your reviews are absolutely brilliant, just fun to watch and you know your stuff
Just love your car reviews Sarah, love how you stare at us through that camera and make us uncomfortable and then make us laugh out loud,so good. Please more of the same,you would be a good fit on the grand tour too I think. 😃😃😃
Thanks for cheering me up after a crap day work, shaved kittens and drive with your teeth, brilliant. Great review as always Sarah.
You are so naturally entertaining. I love your channel.
I’ve only stumbled on your channel when you done the RS video as I have one too. Just want to say I love your channel and your quirky humour, so so good. Its a really nice refreshing change to watch a car based channel run by someone like yourself, keep it up!!!!
The entry of the back of the car riminded me of the movie pet dective , on the rhino giving birth when sarah was stepping out 😂
Oh my I laughed so hard when you straight looked into the camera and purred/growled. Thank you it was a great laugh and review.
I did too. She cracks me up.
Great video shots, and prospective in the shots. Nice work.
Cool video Sarah, love your quirks and features!
That is the...New Supra. Much more of a successor than that BMW Clone.
Imagine if they had put that drivetrain in the new supra.
@@kwedog2373 Whoa....!!!
This car is so incredibly beautiful. Maybe in my top 3 behind NSX and R8. It legit looks like a concept car. In a good way.
That thing sounds INCREDIBLE!
Girl, you are a riot! Great review! God, I love the LC500,
the lc500 wins many races in Asian Super GT competition, amongs other competitors like nissan GTR, honda NSX, Mercedes AMG and BMW
Tom's is taking the champion for GT this year again with the KEEPER LC500-GT
Love that they built in the nav screen ....so sick of the ones that stick strait up out of the dash!!
Can't wait for your next review. I usually pay a lot of attention to your music choices (which are usually great by the way) but this time this car's engine had all my attention... Thank you for that!!!
I really enjoy your videos ! Great opinions and knowledgeable subject matter !
*points to "fiber glass that looks like carbon" doesn't actually know that forged CF often looks like that*
Love this car. LFA still my favorite Lexus though.
Great review. Love your enthusiasm for that car. It is by far the best looking thing you can buy at the moment.
Refreshing review, I own a 2018 LC and agree its about the experience as this car has by far been my favorite car in a long line of powerful vehicles. My last was a 2016 CTS V which was a 640hp sledgehammer but only car enthusiast even knew what I was driving. Every stop I make in the LC sparks curious conversation from men women and children, all positive thus far! Lexus in my opinion created a vehicle that puts you in the center of a moving experience whether you want to be speed racer, James Bond or the chauffeur driving Ms Daisy, this car does it all. Again cool review and thanks for showing me how to shift from Manual to drive and back to manual on the fly never quite figured that out until you illustrated it.
Shaved kitten trunk liner - hilarious! These are the best car reviews!
I still hate Lexus spindle grills but daaaaamn that thing sounds good.
I'm with you bro... The whole car minus the grill is sexy as hell along with the sound.
I'm soo glad I found your channel! Epic style and perfectly informative reviews. You wear some badass shoes btw
Great upload, laughed a couple times. Keep it up!
The way you use that volume knob is....... very loud 😏 but honestly it was a awesome review I always said they should have used the platform of this car for the supra
Beautiful review Sarah 👍love the whole video, made my day. From the Lexus giving birth to a Sarah to the shaved kittens comment🤣 nothing but love from Minnesota!
IMO That is a very good looking car.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I really like a good sense of humor.
My first Sarah - n - Tuned video. Sarah, you're awesome!!!
Don't matter if it's the fastest it's how you feel driving it! It sounds awesome, ggggrrrrr ggggrrrrr ggggrrrrr!
That car sure looks good on you.
Awesome review! Thanks
I never enjoyed anyone reviewing a car back seat before now. Sarah just made it fun!
Nice crawling out of the car 😂👍🏻😁
How tall are you in those heels? I say 6'3"
Thank you so very much for your on point info on all of your videos, I'm sure the public as well as I love the un-biased facts, you are a true blessing to all you nail it every time, Awesome work, Thanks!!! ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤
Love your style of motoring journalism. Hi from the UK
Baby LFA! A moment of silence for all the stock mustang 5.0 owners who share the 4.4 second 0-60 but don't get the coolness of the LC500. 😭
Did u just compare a 35k car to a 100k car? 🤔
@@Jmab-rv7jc Sarah started it.
How you arent at 1m subscribers already I dont know. One of the best CZcamsrs!
Excellent review, Sarah!
Love your reviews Sarah they are honest funny and in normal people speak with just enough "specs" to not be over technical. Great work as always Never Change your awkward is awesome LOL
9:48 She watches Scotty Kilmer 😂
GEE THANKS SARAH! I actually sprayed pop out of my nose onto my keyboard and monitor at your comment "yes, I am definitely comfortable. I can actually drive with my teeth!!" Hilarious!!
Sarah, your videos are honest an quirky just like you. Keep it going 😊
Great comments and analysis especially weight distribution and other details, Sarah of Sarah-n-Tuned
I think the Supra should have been this size.
The current Supra should have been a Celica.
The mk5s only like 5 inches( in length) shorter than the mk4 and it's not necessary for the car to be that long when it's a car that's track oriented track plus the engine is also not as big as the V8 so there's no reason for such a long front end.
Carboy Dorifuto party The Supra was never a track oriented car. It was a Grand Tourer. The MK4 fanboys, claimed it was a sportscar, and Toyota feel for it. Just like how Toyota feel for the "B58 is the new 2JZ", jazz that BMW fanboys kept gurgling out of their mouths.
Agree
Carboy Dorifuto party mk4 was a big car for the 90s. Think of the times bro
10:50 did you almost experienced an orgasm or my eyes deceived me?😂😂😂😂😂 the car..the car is good. .really good
Ha Ha I love how you had to remind us that this was a car review!! That was the most graceful and funny rear seat exit i have ever seen!!
Great job as always
Delivery 10, presentation 9, dead pan 100. You do keep me laughing, great review profesora!
In complete agreement the LC 500 is so much better a car than the Toyota BMW whatever the hell that thing is
i mean it is literally twice the price it damn well better be
@Joseph Ward have you driven both???
@@markkauffman6184 haven't driven a Supra but I've driven the Z4 and it's the same damn car
I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. The new Supra will outperform this car in every aspect (acceleration, braking, and cornering). If you want a luxury car while then this is the better car.
Which do you think,is easier to work on? Good luck fixing that b58 engine when that timing chain breaks in the rear of the engine and you have to pull the entire thing. Toyota mechanics sre not looking forward to wkring on that BMW Zupra.
Nice review Sarah. Great shoes.
Best car review yet, with more detail in it on the interior, lot of hard work went into this review bearing in mind Sarah works alone, can't believe a car hitting 60 in 4.4 seconds only gets 2.5 beans, boy, is Sarah a tough nut to impress speed wise. Beginning to think she was piloting F15's etc while in the military, not maintaining them :)
The Supra will never be V8.
i6 forever 🥰
I rather a toyota v8 vs a bmw I6 if I were buying a new Supra. The bmw I6 just ruins it for me.
Badr supra should never be brittle bmw plastics junk which cracks and leaks from sitting there too long
@@Al-yc4cn Toyota was actually in on the development of the B58 lol
Why would a Supra be a v8 ? It's a Celica lol that just ended up being a Supra
@@philspaghet most of that has been confirmed to be a lie, do your research.
Love the car reviews
Wish you would ad a score to tunability. It could be a tuna score
That way if you give a low bean score it could be made up with a bunch of tunas
love the fly buzzing around the mic
Incredible review. Looks awesome and sounds great too.
You're right, this should have been the Supra. The engine and shifts sound on point and the design looks good.
I love the warehouse location, it really sets the car off. It's a pity the bugs can't stop talking about your stripper shoes. Maybe wear a mic next time to drown them out!
You give us only the very finest reviews. Thank you.
Although it doesn't have the supra formula anywhere.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 Its made by Toyota, the new Supra isn't. It's made in Austria by BMW on the Z4 production line and platform. Nothing Supra about the new Supra except exterior looks. Interior is all BMW.
@@jamesemcclure Although it's actually in MORE reach for people to get,DOESN'T weight over 4k,HAS a i6,and is way more TUNABLE compared to the Lexus. Heck I think the mk5 might even be faster than the LC for half it's price.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 All true but none of that makes it a Toyota with Supra DNA. I've driven the MK4 Supra when it was first launched. It was fast but heavy like the LC. The new Supra is a rebadged Z4 which is a good car in many other ways. Lexus is about luxury not value therefore it's difficult to compare prices.
@@jamesemcclure yea but they wanted the mk5 to be more of a drivers car and they wanted it to have as much less weight on it as possible(which is why the mk5 is about 100lbs lighter than the mk4 and why it has a shorter wheelbase for cornering).
Is Doug "Back-Seat" deMuro your brother? Asking, for a friend...
Thanks Sarah -n- Tuned and nice job!
I just love your Channel ❤️❤️❤️!!!
That's was the supra, the problem nobody will buy a 4200lbs $100K Toyota Supra.
Word on the street is Twin turbo v8 in the enxt lexus.
Ashish Patel
Nope, you read that wrong. Toyota is transitioning all their V8’s to V6TT. It’s the only thing you can do to satisfy the next phase of eco requirements.
That would kill all competition
Ashish Patel LC500-F
love these reviews! did no one else hear the cicada in the beginning...damn!
Great review - beautiful car!
So this or a GTR? tough choice. Lexus sort of looks better.
...a total mind f#@%...driven in strippper heels... ;-)
Thats a pretty car, great review Sarah!
Love your reviews! ❤ and your shoes 👠 😊
100% correct! Mustangs may be faster BUT they aren't this car!
199k for Lexus though.....
Should have been! It’s weird that they had to partner with BMW when they already had it in their parts bin. If that LC500 gets 2.5 beans what gets 5 beans?
I know right!! It really doesn't make sense if they already had beastly powerplants at their disposal. I guess Toyota didn't want to cannibalize Lexus even though they are supposedly bringing "Toyota performance to the masses".
All it would have needed would be a massive diet and a manual transmission option.
Awesome video. Thank you
LOL! Love your expression on launch control Deer in the headlights look! Awesome review thought!
The new Supra is made in Austria. You can't get anymore JDM than that. 😕
Scotty Kilmer: he’s crazy. Just like you!
He’s smart. Just like you!
Y’all both are crazy smart 😂
But you’re much prettier! ❤️🐞
That was just delightful!
Best review yet!
great review, until you said you have an Iphone 😂😜
Lol! The brake test had me dying! Love the review.
Awesome review, Sarah. You make me smile every time, and laugh quite often, all the while presenting a world class review. Thanks!
Going back to the days when I sold Lexus, it was explained to me why Lexus sport cars had such small, apparently useless, rear seats. In Japan all 2 door cars are declared sports cars, by the insurance companies and are thus charged a MUCH higher rate than 4 doors. UNLESS they have a back seat. If a 2 door car has a back seat, the monthly insurance rate drops significantly. So, your grocery bags get a nice place to sit back there while your monthly insurance bill is more comfortable as well.
Amazing info! I'd love if you'd share more.
Great review of a fantastic car.
