Wow, it must be cool to be the boss. Toyota President Akio Toyoda and Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez recently swapped rides while racing at the ‘Ring, and this killer video contains the scoop on everything that went down.

Lexus has always been about exceeding expectations. Two decades ago, the LS 400 proved a Japanese company could craft a world-beating luxury car–and now the 2013 GS 350 is poised to take its place in the company’s inspired history.

When we think of automotive safety, we tend to think of things like airbags, traction control and crumple zones.

If we were, we’d want to be rolling in a Lexus  LS570 pimped out by Alpine Armoring.
