The LS and the RX400h will also be there i dont think the driving courses will be there though. This may not be that much fun as last year.

Looks like you just show up and drive the cars. Sounds kinda boring

Why would they continue to go to the same markets? This is good, some new cities and some new people can attend. They just finished the IS-F performance tour for goodness sakes.

Nothing to complain about, especially when Acura and Infiniti have never even had anything close to this.

They never been to Philly (closest has been Six Flags in NJ), but they bring 3 out of 4 of the most ho-hum (IMO) Lexus models here.

Well these events are really meant to draw new prospect owners, not current owners like us. This event is targeted towards a different crowd, not enthusiasts . The Performance Driving Academy was designed purposely for enthusiast drivers.
