Lexus Champion
Just completed...
Just got back from the Dodger Stadium "ride and slide" y'all.
I was impressed with the all new IS350 - tons of power..definetely the quickest and fastest stock Lexus I've ever driven.
Of course I get to drive them all day long at work(I work at a dealer...), but today, they gave me a chance to drive them hard and over 5 mph...LoL
Never thought the new IS was as thrilling, but they proved me wrong today. They also had the BMW 330i for comparison testing. I was impressed with the handling of that vehicle. BMW certainly holds onto their philosophy firmly. "The ultimate driving machine". As far as power goes, the IS350 wins hands down....Also opened up the RX400h, which feels funny because there isn't any shifting involved(Continuosly Variable Trans). The awd GS300 had tremendous grip and felt equally as fast as the big brother GS430.
All in all, Lexus treated very well today, learned a lot and drove the heck out of them cars!

i went today also. it was pretty fun. i abused an IS350 with the windows, moonroof, open and the radio on full blast............drove the 330i handles great, but the is350 has the power. i wanted to do a burnout, but they wouldn't let me.....anyways it was fun, though they should not have allowed kids or anyone not driving to enter. cool gifts, though the food was good, well probably the best food most of the people there have ever eaten, it was ok. At least lexus sprung for the fiji water, all in all for a free event, pretty nice. If lexus is still taking people for waiting list add yourself and you might get lucky.
