Lexus considering high-performance driving school? - 03-21-2006, 11:57 AM

I think every brand should do this, it would make much better drivers with performance vehicles. Safet 1st.

Time was when the notion of "Lexus performance" was measured in terms of panel gaps and service intervals. But as part of Toyota's plan to add driving emotion to the brand, the upscale marque is reportedly considering opening a series of high-performance driving schools... not unlike that of Ferrari or Land Rover.
According to Inside Line, the academy could possibly focus on more driving-dynamics oriented models, like the 2006 IS 350.

I think BMW, MB, Audi and Porsche all have these... At least Porsche and BMW offer winter driving courses in Northern Finland.

Perhaps Lexus's course will be more affordable and hopefully can teach great precision driving and dynamics.... Sounds interesting, id like to be involved in one myself, lack of time, personally i feel it should be a pre-requisite with certain cars upon purchase.

Yea, Audi has these driving schools here also...'The school of safe driving'.

Great thing, if I ever buy some strong car I will certainly go on few courses.
