I don't know about the bay area, but I'll bring you one from Bakersfield (agriculture town); we have Taco trucks and Mexican resturants every where.

I think two quarters past since I recieved an issue. Lexus needs to discuss the cars & how they are assembled, perform, etc. more so than pastries.

I got mine yesteday and I don't even read it. They had no joke 1/2 of a page on the LF-A convertible and a bunch of fake stories and some mumbo jumbo that made me put it down and sweep the floor with it.

It's a nice read from the luxury lifestyle angle, they keep the car info down so as not to appear to be simply a car brochure (I'm guessing). The LF-A convertible pic stated also that the 'hybrid sedan' still has an undetermined name...

The magazine has been revamped, this is the second issue with the new editor, it's pretty nice and improved imo.

They always send me every issue, but I have only read a small fraction of their content . . .

I found both the Acura and Lexus magazines to be pretty weak. Some very nice photography and obviously cost a lot, but almost content free. Now I get one from Ford and one from Mazda. The Mazda one is definitely more enthusiast oriented and fun to read.

What worries me is the magazine puts me to sleep like an ES 330.

We need 2 mags, one for us and one for the traditional Lexus buyer.

Like Lexus Norway did this time They sent out the (US) magazine...together with an 8 page (all glossy) magazine thats mostly about the more exciting models...such as LF-A, IS-F and LF-Xh.
