With models like the LFA, IS F, and GS F Sport in its stable, it’s hardly a secret Lexus wants to move beyond pillow-soft luxury cars into serious high-performance territory. And if recent rumors are any indication, this strategic shift might also involve uprooting its corporate HQ.

It’s a good thing you guys are on ClubLexus and not one of those shady enthusiast sites, because this is what can happen when you run with the wrong internet crowd. This footage shows the aftermath of one of the most expensive car crashes ever!

Generally, my favorite thing about a big unveiling is that it sucks most of the press folks into one area of the show, which makes it easier to get photos of cars that would otherwise be mobbed.

When people asked me how the LA Auto Show was this year, I generally tell them it’s about 98 percent boring and two percent “oh-my-God-I’d-murder-someone-to-own-that.” And that’s how most consumer auto shows are.

Some people think that if you can’t say anything nice, you shouldn’t say anything at all. I’m not one of those folks, and you probably aren’t either. So let’s take a look at some of the worst cars at SEMA and make fun of them. C’mon, it’ll be a blast

Going to SEMA is awesome, but for the course of the week, 99% of the people you’ll see are old fat dudes. Fortunately, the other one percent are girls being paid to be there, and Patrick Rall took their pictures. Meet the ladies of SEMA 2011!

OK, I realize this is Club Lexus. But SEMA is a celebration of all things automotive, and I figured this crowd would appreciate seeing some killer cars that didn’t happen to be wearing a Lexus badge.
