Coming soon to a racetrack near you, Lexus will be presenting a new twist in exhibiting the all new 416hp Lexus IS-F performance luxury sedan.

I am pretty sure there are more than few MB owners would love to try out something new or go to the other side.

this was probably the best manufacturer sponsored event I've been to. I have to agree with the IS-F. I came in wanting to hate the car, but I can't talk trash about it. It's not a bad car, but I'd still get an M3 or C63 over it. As great as the car is mechanically, it still can't make up for how ugly it is and the driving feel. The 8-speed was great, but one too many gears...

Great coverage of the event Phil and MJ! Looks like a great time. I've always wanted to do some autocrossing, especially with a car that's not mine.
