No. Evening Edition events only at this time. There should be a static display IS-F available granted it's not being used at an event (US Open, media press release or SEMA).

Taste of White Trash
I've just returned from the NY Taste of Lexus in Jackson NJ. WOW 
what an eye opener. I pulled my LS 460L touring in to a parking lot of about 300 junk broken down cars and parked. There were a 20 or so ES300's and 350's that I saw and a a few C class MB's.
What I can't figure out is why Lexus would have you drive all the way to the event and have to wait over an hour to drive a limited number of stock cars. My wife and I wanted to test drive a LX SUV, her lease is coming due and they just had one RX no other suv's. What a waste of time. We went into the luxury tent were we were greeted with a girl that asked if we played tennis and I said yes, she than showed us were we could sit play Nintendo Wee tennis, I could not believe it. They did have a golf simulation swing with 1,500 people in line. My dealer has one in the service waiting room with no line.
We wondered over to the Bistro to grab a bite and we were greeted with stale bread and under cooked sliders. I thought I was in a hwy rest stop.
I tried like hell to ask someone if I could get info on the LX but no one could help me, It was very bizarre. I'm not sure were Lexus got the client base from but WOW it it scary. My dealer gave me 2 invites and told me how hard it was to get them. I guess the guy next to me in the beat up Mazda had a tough time getting them too.
Lexus told us we were not going to get a giveaway bag but they donated money to the Rain Forest or something. I wish they would just say they ran out of giveaways. Dwell magazine had the best booth and gave away free magizines...
We stayed their less than an hour and could not stand to wait over an hour in line when we could just drive to a dealer and get personal service and fresh coffee.
I DVRed the Taste of Lexus LA show and watched it yesterday and was expecting the same. At the LA show they had other models to compare such as BMW and Infinity with a huge test track. The test track consisted basically of a small circle. They had message rooms and golf training pro's to analyze your swing. None of that at the NY show. The wife wanted a message and a LX test drive and she would have been hooked on the brand.
This was just my experience, I have high expectations but to the average Joe this would have been......I don't know.
I do appreciate Lexus putting this on for everyone but they really missed their mark. You can clearly see an independent company set up the right atmosphere but the Lexus company was hollow on the delivery. In my opinion Lexus better weak up if they want to continue to compete in the high end luxury market. After this experience Hyundai may have a point...........
Sorry for the Rant......Just was way off than what I expected.

LOL.....Yeah I hear you.
I personally don't care what people look like or what they drive as long as they are nice and honest.
I guess what I mean is all the marketing about this event that Lexus sent out was about their luxury life style, I did not see it anywhere. Shame on me to expect Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton experience, instead I got Walmart .
