So I had the opportunity to test drive the new 2012 Lexus GS350 AWD on an autocross-like track along with the IS250 and IS-F. It was a great time and boy does the GS350 kick some luxury sport butt on the track with comfort. Although the cars don't give much enthusiast feedback like BMWs they are coming along. Once they have more soul to them, they will be able to get into the serious contender ring! But one product that stood out at the event was seeing 1 of 2 of these special cars in Vancouver...

I only have this one. I didn't go into too much detail since I assumed the car is well documented online. I just snapped pics as I saw because I wanted to go driving!! :)

No driving the LFA. :( She sat on her asphalt throne and didn't move a muscle except her vocal chords. The IS-F was the closest thing I got to tear up the ground with.

Here's what the GS350 is like. Even with the roll seen in video...it feels pretty solid unlike previous models.
