Lexus Canada could have proven a really good point with this drag race in the snow. I would have loved to put my RX into that race.

When Lexus Mexico finally opens its doors (god knows when), we have three great tracks in the area (Hermanos Rodriguez, Tlalnepantla and Toluca to test them on) and be sure to bring that zippy new RAV 4 (not that light powered version sold down here).
