Exactly! I give GM credit because at MBZ, all they give you are measly cookies and water.

The even was great last year... especially when you feel like you're about to tip over in the GX470 (anyone go to the one at Dodger Stadium?)

Too bad they have associates and guests go on different days... unless the Club Lexes "behind the scenes" translates into a special Club Lexus only day! That'd be awesome

I had a blast at the last tour here in Houston, but did have a complaint from the workers for driver a BMW too qucikly Can't wait to do it again this year, especially with the new LExus line-up.

i do have a question though, if you drive the GX or LX and really tip it over on that super side slope, what's gonna happen?

They make a fake dirt hill to demonstrate to KDSS. The last Taste of Luxury Tour was geared more towards consumers. Us employees didn't get to drive the SC vs competitors, not did we get the chef.
Fortunately I got a proper demonstration the year before at the Malibu Equestrian Ranch on a real all terrain track. Luckily I ened up in a GX with one of our techs and he let me drive while instructing me on the KDSS and the DAC. It was one of the best drives I have been to.

I do have to say Lexus has the best food and gift bags at the events!
