Im a muscle car fan, but youd be a complete idiot to not recognize what incredible cars The Lexus and Type R are, and i love the styling on both!

The guy says it's desinged to appeal to "children" while smiling and saying I love it and clearly being over 35. Lmao

Like Jeremy clarkson once said, “It’s not what you drive that matters, it’s how you drive it.”

The Type R is a track monster. The LC500 is a V8 luxury cruiser.

I’m a 43 year old child ✋🏼 (and owner). Love, love, love my car. Love the way it drives, love the way it looks. Love that it’s so distinctive. Love the fact that, unlike the likes of Golf R, et al it doesn’t look like just another civic. It’s a car built for the track that can be used on the road after all.

The best top gear episode I've seen in a long time

Now, switch cars and have Chris drive the LC500.

Hugely entertaining video! Great work on the creators. Loved the animation cut scenes and video-game like presentation. Seriously debating which one to purchase. I don’t see myself making track runs - mostly due to time (work travel, kids, side business mgt, etc.) constraints but I do enjoy getting out for spirited early morning drives now and then on weekends when I have time. I’ve had the German M & AMG cars for years now and am tiring of the frequent trips to the mechanic to get one thing or another repaired. I love the styling of both. I’ve heard an LC F is on track for 2021 too. Curious what preferences are out there between the two if $ wasn’t not a blocker for the LC500.
