taste of lexus...umm impressions
bigger tents
organized better (until the crowds came)
electronic sign ups are dumb (you still wait in a line???)
short courses as always
IS-F wasn't running (have to register for taste of lexus evening ed)
no IS250 AWD
almost got kicked out for driving the IS350 too fast (kicked the back end out Mr. Johnson style)
free meal idea is better than snacks I guess
movie theater was neat
I pretty much rode LS600h the whole time.
I have to have one.
I don't care what it takes.
The massage chair in the back was awesome.
LS600h > *

Totally agree with the electronic sign ups being a stupid idea. I was singned up for a GS450h for 3:45, went inside around 3:40 like I was told and there was a line of 20 people inside and another line of 30 people still outside. By 4:00 the inside line still didnt moved so we took off, I'm not that desperate to drive the car for 30 seconds.
The food was better than last year and the sit down Italian or French joint was a good idea.
Lexus got cheap, instead of giving out parting gifts, they let Dunlop take over and give out tire pressure guages.
We stayed an hour, it wasnt worth waiting in line for a 20-30 second sprint around the course. Last year I test drove 3 or 4 cars and there were no new models this year anyways. Also, last year they had the BMW and MB to compare against, only Lexus this time around.
Kind of disappointed with this years setup.
