Cool Lexus LS 460 courtesy car fleet at US Open championship
Courtesy of Lexus' partnership with the USGA, all the pro golfers and VIPs got personal use of LS 460s...











TODAY's Matt Lauer arrived in an LS 460 L...







The LS 460 fleet was also used for the 2007 US Open at Oakmont...random examples...

I own one of those. My dealer here in Pittsburgh (home of Oakmont Country Club) got about 15 extra LS460s to sell after the golf last June. My car had 300 miles on it and I tell people it was Tiger Woods' car during the tournament, even though his contract with Buick probably did not let that actually happen.

Wow, cool...maybe your LS 460 is one of the Smoky Granite ones in the Oakmont USGA video...in the following pics Tiger Woods' playing partner was using a Mercury Metallic LS 460...

Hey, will those be on sale after the event?
When we were looking to buy an escalade, they had one used in a golf tournament here and they took off like 5k from the final price. And it only had 300 miles.

As I go to UCSD which is literally down the street from Torrey Pines, I saw these EVERY DAY.

I also saw some in LA...?

Best thing was the $1000 voucher towards a new Lexus given by Lexus to anyone who visited their tent at the Open.
