Default Lexus Ride & Drive Event @ Angel Stadium

Took a few shots while I was there today. I had a blast auto-crossing all those cars. Well .. they didn't let us drive the LFA though.

It did sound like a blast. I wonder how the LS F-sport drove. Love the shot with the new spindle grille on the 4LS, 4GS, and now 3IS. Hope those who were fortunate to attend stayed cool.

I was there also, I loved how smooth the LS460F is. It handled nicely for a big heavy car and plush the ride was.

The LS F-Sport is a very nice daily driver. Handles well day to day but can no way keep up with the new IS-350 F-Sport on this auto cross track. The IS was much easier to take into the turns. The higher power to weight ratio on the IS made coming out of the turns more fun too ... Easy to oversteer it with more throttle.

As for the picture, I wanted to get a family picture of the F-Sports. That's how they staged the cars for the next batch of drivers.

Yea this was Saturday by invite only. They are doing the Instagram thing there today so the LFA should still be there but I'm guessing they are taking down the track today?

All those cars out there took a pretty good beating!

But who knows ... Maybe Lexus will leave all there other displays there. The had a nice driving simulator there with full motion feedback.
