        What now - Lexus starting a driving school too?

        I suppose since my wife owns an LX-470 I was targeted for this email. Any of you guys living in AZ or TX want to go to this just for fun?



        - Lexus Performance Driving School –

        For the first time ever, Lexus is offering two Performance Driving School events. You will learn driving techniques in Lexus I•S, GS and LS vehicles and take a hot lap with a professional driver in an official Team Lexus race or production car on some of the best-known racetracks in America.

        Thursday, December 5, 2002 * Hurry, filling fast!
        Phoenix International Raceway
        8:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

        Friday, December 6, 2002 * Hurry, filling fast!
        Phoenix International Raceway
        8:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

        Friday, January 17, 2003
        Texas Motor Speedway
        8:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

        Saturday, January 18, 2003
        Texas Motor Speedway
        8:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

        Only a limited number of people a day will have the privilege of being personally mentored by some of the best race car instructors in the United States. Besides exploring the latest in safety and accident-avoidance techniques, your experience will include:

        - SKID PAD
        Test your driving skills on wet asphalt as you experience the agility of the LS in understeer and oversteer situations.

        - SLALOM
        Discover the full capabilities of the handling, turning radius, ABS and throttle powers as you learn to deftly maneuver through the slalom courses.

        - BRAKING AND CORNERING
        Learn to master the subtleties in brake and turn, cornering and hand positioning.

        - HOT LAP
        To truly experience the dynamic handling, power and performance of a Lexus is to push it to the extreme. Feel the adrenaline rush as you learn throttle and braking points while turning at speeds up to 100mph and honing apex and line driving/identification skills.

        CALL 1-800-551-1713 TO SIGN UP OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

        As a participant in the Lexus Performance Driving School, you will receive a first-class and unique one-day professional driving experience that will enhance your driving skills. You will feel the thrill of a hot lap in an official Team Lexus race or production car driven by professional drivers. Then, push the limits as you put your learning to the test with no stop signs, no street lights, just clear track as you drive your own open laps in a Lexus.

        At the conclusion of your one-day driving school, you will receive a photo of yourself with the official Team Lexus race car and a certificate of completion authorized by the chief driving instructor. All for only $395.00.

        Drivers must be 21 years of age or older with a valid driver's license. Attendee is responsible for all travel and accommodation expenses and is required to sign a driving waiver.

        dont write off Lexus

        they are very smart. see their new advertising campaign: we persue perfection so you can persue living.

        this is a more subtle attack on BMW, Mercedes and other luxury makers where the dealer experience is not consistant and often times is lousy.
