Default GVRD: Informal meet?

anyone else get this? not that i need to go to this but hey, if i'm there, why not

==============================================

Enjoy exclusive Lexus owner privileges at the 2007 Vancouver International Auto Show.

With so many exciting new vehicles to take in at the Vancouver International Auto Show, you may also need to take a moment during your visit to simply rest, relax and recharge. That's why, just for Lexus owners like you, we've created the Lexus Lounge.

Located within the Lexus display area, this unique lounge is the perfect place to get a break from the crowds, and enjoy the complimentary refreshments. Only guests who present a Lexus key will gain entry into the Lexus Lounge. So think of it as your very own private club, right in the middle of the Auto Show.

Of course, those crowds may be found in greatest number at the Lexus display itself - given the number of noteworthy Lexus vehicles that will be featured.

Vehicles like the new LS 460, our 380 horsepower flagship sedan. And the LS 600h, its equally impressive hybrid sibling. In fact, our entire hybrid lineup will be there, including the GS450h and RX400h, as well.

Join us for the Vancouver International Auto Show at BC Place, March 31st to April 8th, 2007. You'll be treated to the latest in luxury - whether you choose to take a seat in one of our vehicles, in the Lexus Lounge, or both.

there was no mention of the IS-F if that's what you're looking for just that all their 'h' models will be there... that's what we get for being tree-hugging hippies up here on the wet coast

Was there too. Yea...it was nice...felt different. Benz and BMW didn't provide any of these kinds of service. Lots of ppl were looking at me weird though. Hope maybe the next time they organize it so that there is much more space (felt cramped) and more interactive stuff for us.

there wasnt anyone there in the lounge but me and my friends when we were there around 8pm
i guess most of the lexus owners have gone home by then already to get on with their fabulous saturday night's life


Benz sucked, they werent even on the main show floor this year
it feels like a lot of the manufaturers have cheapened out big time this year

yeah its a bit open but considering every bit of space is of premium at the main show floor, its still nice that lexus is doing this
its not a bad place to rest after a couple hours of walking
