2014 Lexus IS Ride+Drive Experience in Landover, MD
Lexus has launched an 11-city Ride+Drive Experience for the 2014 Lexus IS. As has been Lexus' fashion of late, these events are highly targeted and by invitation-only. Yours truly has been advised, however, that there are still a number of available slots for the 5th stop on the tour, in the Washington, D.C. area.
If the experience in the Miami, Florida area this past Saturday (the 4th stop on the tour) is anything to go by, you can expect three distinct driving courses:
- A comparison drive between the 2014 Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 (non-F Sport) and BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class.
- A Lexus F Sport course featuring said versions of CT, IS 250, GS and LS.
- A competitive timed autocross in an IS 350 F Sport, with the fastest male and fastest female driver in each session receiving a hot lap of the parking lot (as a passenger) in a Lexus LFA.
The event takes place this coming Saturday 27 July at
FedexField
1600 Fedex Way
Landover, MD 20785
There are five sessions available, each of approximately 1½-2 hours duration:
7:45 AM
9:30 AM
11:15 AM
1:00 PM
2:30 PM
If you would like to attend, please post your first and last name, e-mail address and preferred session time. I will then forward this information to the folks at Lexus. If you'd rather not post this publicly, feel free to send me a Private Message with the above information.

I'm interested in the 1PM session. Also is it only for 1 person? My brother is in the market for a new car and is considering the new IS F Sport or the BMW 335. Would be great if I could get him this opportunity to participate to so I can steer him to Lexus as opposed to BMW. Thanks.
