Hey guys,
Just to give you an update, I took in all your feedback and put together a great report. And the good news is, it looks like the suggestions were taken to heart. We may be seeing some of the items that were suggested here in the future issues.
On a different note there are also some other features I failed to mention before that may be of interest here. Whether or not you want to read the stories, there is some good photography, and there is a photo of the week feed here:
http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdriver...-the-Week.html
Should any like to, you can also sign up for the RSS feed which will funnel articles as they come to the reader of your choice. The link is on the side of the new section:
http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdriver...ews/index.html
And lastly, if you have not already played around with it, there is an LF-A vehicle builder linked in the news section as well.
Thanks again everyone, and keep letting me know if you have an questions or feedback.
Charles

Hey everyone. Just want to post a new update for Lexus Magazine as we have some features this month that start to encorporate some of the suggestions in this thread.
On the lifestyle side, there is a good article about Lexus offroad racer Bacal (complete with video) that I believe incorporates more of the Lexus conections some of you were suggesting:
https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lex...en-to-Win.html
There is also a brief feature on the new self restoring paint which I beleive was directly suggested here.
https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lex...ing-Paint.html
Take a look and, and let me know how we are doing. Thanks

I received the paper copy, in the mail, for years, when I owned my IS300. I agree with the posters here who want to keep that at least as a option. However, I noticed that the magazine not only concentrates on too many non-Lexus issues, but also (convienently, I might add) does not mention anything negative or controversial about Lexus vehicles...nothing, for example, about the automatic transmission ECU quirks/malfunctions in the IS300 and ES330 series. In short, it is, IMO, too much a company-PR document and not enough of a realistic magazine for Lexus owners.
On a slightly different note, The Lexus reps at the D.C. Auto Show last week told me that Lexus was going to stop printing paper brochures, and have all the info only on-line (yes, as...........what else?..........a cost-cutting move). In other words, you won't be able to pick up paper copies at the dealerships any more. I'm strongly opposed to this, for several reasons. First, the Lexus web site, and its specs, can take forever to download.....bad enough with Broadband/DSL, but sometimes impossibly long for dial-up computers. Second, the Internet itself sometimes has problems. Third, the paint color-chips and interior shades on many auto-manufacturer web-sites can be a joke, often far from the actual hue as it appears in person.....the paper brochures portray the true color-chips much more accurately. Fourth, on the website, you often have to scroll through long, confusing menus and categories to find what you want.......with a simple, flip-open paper brochure, it is usually much easier and quicker.

I'm not sure we are getting a straight answer from the reps and salespeople (which I don't regard as experts on anything usually) at this point, since all the major auto makers still allow you to order (via on-line submission) detailed paper brochures delivered to your home address.

Thanks again everyone, and keep letting me know if you have an questions or feedback.

Right now you can still request a printed Lexus brochure by mail, e.g.:

And exactly how did you do that ?
I stumbled upon this thread because I googled the following three words: "lexus magazine unsubscribe"![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
The magazine contains absolutely nothing I am interested in. In fact, I do not want companies to send me anything I did not ask for. There is plenty of interesting stuff that I can chose from to waste my time on - no need to try to push "lexus lifestyle" bull**** down my throat.
That, and the magazine is way too glossy. Go green guys. And stop sending me 2 magazines each time. Better yet, stop sending me anything at all.
I want to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe from the Belgian, Flemish, magazine. There is no contact info on the website nor in the magazine.
