The duo reflect on the past 3 years since experiencing the magic of the LC 500 for the first time. Is it as magical as their first time? There’s only one way to find out!

    Every time I see one on the road, I do a double take. Really gorgeous car. And the interior is amazing too

    I remember driving one of the very first LC500’s at a local dealership back when they were just hitting the lots. The sales guy was super nice and even though I told him I couldn’t afford it he let me take it for a test drive anyway and we both giggled ourselves silly.

    You really can play music with the throttle blips and when you aren’t driving it like an ape it’s super comfy and luxurious and so nice to cruise around in. But yeah, all we wanted to do was WOT followed by throttle blips as we slowed down. It never gets old.

    I still want one but I’m also trying to be a semi-responsible forty-something and an LC500 just doesn’t work for us right now. But maybe someday. =)

    Best GT car out there at the moment. Nothing comes close in my books, it’s probably the only modern car I would actualy like to own.

    I love the LC500, but I can’t be the only one that’s frustrated with the new screen. It ruins the interior dash lines and just feels so cheap. I know the old touchpad sucks, but surely they could have integrated it better right?

      I’ll drop in another agree. It feels like they slapped something together to appease people bitching about it on the internet - which is ironic because most owners say “you get used to the infotainment and don’t really interact with it much”. That half-assed approach to the update upsets me greatly, because the car was not compromised before in terms of design in any way, while now it is. That’s inexcusable in your halo coupe that’s $100k+.

    I’m thoroughly disappointed with not hearing the rev limiter bounce not even once in this video

    Curious they upgraded to Pilot Sport S 5 on the LC500 while the Supra is still on two generation old Pilot Super Sports.
