Very, very interesting. I watched the video and tried to pause it in sections and got nothing. You can definitely see the side view mirrors though. Also notable, perhaps by coincidence, is that the warehouse in the background looks just like the one from the commercial, and doing the same "Jturn" stuff. Wonder if this car was or had something to do with the one in the commercial?

the warehouse is the same. it's no coincidence.

the shakycam mustve been recorded while they were filming shots for the commercial.

Now I wanna test drive it.

Perhaps the GS460 (albeit relatively/competitively underpowered) will be tuned to be more performance savvy with appropriate sport handling capabilities...

Absolutely a great commerical! When I first saw it the other day, I really laugh my head off... Nice kick to the Audi + other german car maker folks. By the way, I wonder if this is also an attempt of Lexus to send out the message that we are not just a comfortable car, but we can still have performance... which setup the tune for the IS-F?

If they did it on purpose or not, they did make a statement.

Lexus marketing has never NEVER shown their cars doing that before. It's definately a sign of things to come...

Very nice catch dunnojack. No mistake about it, these two videos are from the same location, and likely same car and crew -- the amateurish/handheld posted on youtube 2 months ago, and the other, professionally shot in an official commercial released a couple days ago.
