You can tell by the lack of memory seat buttons on the drivers handle.
I guessed that it might be that press vehicle as well but any time I can catch another view of a GW on black it inspires me.

Moving on to research reputable Atlanta area ceramic coating installers and maybe place a call to Buckhead Imports about exhaust.

The overall review was decent. Was it me or did he misunderstand the ASC?

This is hands down the best review of the IS500 on the internet. They nailed it. They even got the infotainment right, saying it's perfect. Their biggest complaint was that their car can't do burnouts. I'll take that!

I dont think this has been shared yet. Put on some beats and enjoy the IS 500 drive, even from your living room

That looks like a press car- it has the oil cooler.

That is always cool to see, provided he is the owner of this LE - We have seen way too many videos of people abusing cars that aren't theirs....

Straight Pipes: “Can’t do burnouts, biggest downfall”

Random guy: “Hold my beer!”

In all seriousness, the IS500 has been my first car purchase that the entire Youtube community is completely wrong about. Every single review I’ve seen makes it seem like the only good reason to get this car is because it’s a dying breed. Outside of that, this car is amazing and there are more reasons. I literally cannot walk away from it without turning around at least 3 or 4 times to admire it. I can’t walk up to it without taking my phone out and snapping some photos.

The slippage of the Bridgestones (at the light) straight up annoys the living Eff out of me. The rest of the video is awesome, the sound is so bada$$.

I don’t understand why the reviewers complain about the lack of ambient lighting. The cabin was lit up like a Christmas Tree as-is!

…but these damn tires do not hookup like my Michelins. At the rate I’m going, I should be at 5K miles come June 1st, perfect opportunity for Lexus to change the oil and the tires.

LOL @ Hold my beer… 😂

I agree, I can’t stop looking at this thing. Thought I was hyper into my 2016, but that was nothing compared to my love for the IS 500.

But what has carried over from my 2016 is the effect the Ultrasonic Blue has on random folks. Snapped a few quick pics today and this guy says: “Damn I’m blinded by the shine on that thing. Looking good!”

My car is filthy as hell (pollen and light rain make for nastiness), but people don’t see it.

It’s the craziest thing and my #1 reason to stick with it.

Words people say when they refer to my bald head!! LMAO

That being said, I agree, I have loved my 2015, 2017 and even my 2021 IS's but there is something about the IS 500 that is just soooooo special - I have always wanted a RWD and a V8 so maybe that is why I feel so excited that I have finally found the perfect car for me. I wouldn't have wanted any V8 or any RWD, but seeing that Lexus came out with this just a few years before my retirement is the perfect timing for me!
