I was at Streets and didn't see anyone. I saw a silver IS (new generation) driving around (looked like he was looking for people).
He didn't stop for me to get a chance to talk to him. I was parked over by Gameworks and Big Bowl.

Much better than last year. Not as crowded and the people and surroundings were also better behaved and laid out respectively.
The LS460L is very nice. A bit wallowy to drive but nice. It didn't knock me out but it was not a let down, as I feared. As a front seat passenger though I think I enjoyed the S550 more!
The IS350 was a blast to drive as expected from the previous year. Even though I have been disappointed with the new GS since its introduction at the NAIAS driving the GS450h was really cool. It was neat to have it be vibration free at a stop because the engine wasn't running and then having a decent amount of power to pull away.
The ES350 surprised me in that it was nice and quiet inside, had a decent amount of luxury amenities but the materials were cheaper, IMO, than the IS, GS or LS.
Overall had a great time and I just need to get myself a new Lexus. Hmmm.... old man LS460L or IS500?!?

yeah my wife and I had a blast also. showed up around 1:00 and there was a decent amount of people. by 3:00 the lines were crazy. can't believe how long the lines were to drive those SC's. IS was awesome, wife drive the RX a couple times cause she wants one. overall it was more than i was expecting and we had a great time.
saw lots of people get yelled at by the "too fast police". one guy in a SC had two Lexus guys corner him after he was done cause of the way he drove. one couple took out some cones in front of us. dont know how they did that given how wide the course was.
i want to go again!
