You know what, this is way cooler, and is the best car ad I have ever seen.
Video: Lexus LFA breaks champagne glass with science http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16hPBsw2Uy4
Quote : | "Toyota just released a new spot featuring the V10 beast roaring to life and shattering a champagne glass with nothing but its exhaust note. We're well aware that skepticism is the internet's middle name, but Toyota claims that it hired a physicist to figure out exactly what kind of glass would resonate at the same frequency as the LFA exhaust.
From there, the car was just a dyno pull away from sending the flute to the recycling bin. According to the press release, there's zero CG at work here – just pure science." |

now if they could just figure out how to stop a fucking car from accelerating, they'd be good to go 6/3/2010 6:56:15 PM |

FWIW, I am driving a fully loaded 09 Lexus ES350 right now. I absolutely hate it. A Ford Escort has more feedback in the brakes and the steering wheel... I understand it's a luxury vehicle and you want to make things "comfortable." However, the steering wheel feels disconnected beyond the steering shaft and the brakes are like walking on grapes in a giant bucket (mushy...)
But it is a spacious ride with nice fit and finish... And the engine is very nice... But damn... that's all that appears to be going for it, imo.
Sorry to be way off topic.
you may have your thread back oepII1

Well, it's a loaner vehicle for a day. I'm not too worried, but it's got the wife thinking about possibly considering trading in for a preowned IS350 (which I'm meh about) or a preowned 335i...
yeah... I'm looking at 335i's right now... I guess she liked the extra 100 horses 6/4/2010 4:53:44 AM |
