Oh yeah, I met Henry at last year's TOL event in Irvine. It would be so cool to meet Mr. 1Sicklex one day...

I believe last year's Taste of Lexus started at the end of September through November.

Lexus.jp has a similar test drive event for Japan, and there have been ToL in China as well.

Last year in Irvine was a blast. I drove everything I could and the GS450h was the best to drive, it handled so nicely, better then the GS350 IMO. I assume it has something to do with the counter weight of the electric motor in the trunk, but that thing handled the turns so well even I was impressed with my own driving.

If they bring the IS-F, I am going to watch my *** as every fool and there brother will be out there going freaking crazy on that thing. I see many passes being taken away.

Last year TOL started September 16th. I remember well because corporate tax returns were due September 15th and I came out to the Irvine TOL the next morning at 9AM...

I got invited by postcard 2 weeks ago, but didn't call them back at the number the dealer gave to call.

We had a sweet track for the NYC event last year. A long straight ran parallel to the parking lot.. There were guys in the parking lot lining up their cars outside of the fence to race the IS350 & GS450's.. There was this guy in the lot with a Caddy CTS-V racing an IS350. The CTS-V lost by a nose.
Here are the highlights of last years NYC event with pics..
