Lexus comes out strong with the all-new 2013 Lexus GS

February 9, 2012 / Staff

The Super Bowl might be long gone, but our impressions of the all-new 2013 Lexus GS will continue to be known. The new GS incorporates bold, dynamic styling, precise handling, innovative technology and a spacious interior. After spending time behind the wheel of the new GS in Las Vegas we can tell you with certainty that this is a new beginning for Lexus combined with a rich heritage of building superb luxury vehicles. We even had the chance to learn more about driving the auto cross and took a ride with pro driver Scott Pruett to see how it’s done by the experts.

Believe it when Lexus told us that, “The new GS conveys an enhanced sense of confidence to the driver with a redesigned chassis and a wide, strong stance that inspires and rewards driver participation with crisp and precise handling. Engineers developed a more spacious interior environment while leaving exterior dimensions virtually unchanged to ensure excellent maneuverability. Richly endowed with world-class features and premium details, the new GS is supported by advanced, performance technology that makes it more than just a luxury car.”

All that and the starting price remains the same as the previous model at a base MSRP of $46,900; and for that we applaud Lexus for having their consumers back by holding the price. Technology abounds as GS models equipped with the optional navigation system will also have access to the next-generation Lexus Enform Application Suite, the system that leverages the customers’ mobile phone technology to provide a new level of connectivity and information management. Users can conduct local searches through Bing, or utilize voice-enabled apps to make restaurant reservations through OpenTable, get movie tickets via MovieTickets.com or tap into internet radio, including Pandora or iHeartRadio.

Looks great, drives great and satisfies those who are looking for the most out of life!

Friday Video – The Chicago Bears, “The Super Bowl Shuffle”

February 3, 2012 / David Medsker

In honor of this weekend’s big game, we decided to pay tribute to one of the most indelible football songs, and videos, of all time. Deep breath, everyone, let’s get this all out at once, so we can move on.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

For anyone who wasn’t there, man (spoken like a Woodstock hippie), it’s easy to make fun of “The Super Bowl Shuffle.” Bad rhymes, dated drum tracks, a SAX SOLO (ah, the ’80s), and so on. But think about this track for a second. They recorded this in the middle of the season, well before the Big Game would ever be played. That takes some stones, you know? (And allegedly, some of the players agreed: Dan Hampton opted out of participating on the track.) Can you imagine if the New England Patriots, their AFC opponent, had actually knocked them off? Or worse, they don’t even make it to the Super Bowl? Think about what a PR nightmare that would have been.

But that’s just the thing about the 1985 Bears – they were so good that no one batted an eye at the thought of them recording a song where they declare their dominance over the rest of the league before proving it on the field, and of course, they wound up wiping the floor with the Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday, to a 46-10 score. At the same time, so what? Sure, they won the Super Bowl in 1986. This video, meanwhile, is eternal. Whoops. If only they had known about YouTube back then.

Bonus video: this one didn’t cross our radar until a few years ago, but holy cow. In 1986, the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to do a clip of their own, called “Baseball Boogie,” and there is only one word to describe it: fabulous.

Lexus GS Super Bowl Ad

January 31, 2012 / Staff

The wait is over. The bold new face of Lexus is here, and it cannot be contained. Watch Lexus’ first-ever Super Bowl commercial, introducing the all-new 2013 GS and a glimpse of what Lexus has in store for 2012. The 30-second commercial features the 2013 GS as it breaks free from containment, illustrating the company’s move in a new design direction for the brand. The spot also hints at the additional new vehicles Lexus will unveil later in the year, which are waiting in the wings for their turn to burst onto the scene.

“The all-new Lexus GS is showcased in this ad because it’s the first model to feature the new look of Lexus and it’s also the first of nine new or updated models we’ll launch this year,” said Brian Smith, Lexus vice president of marketing. “This spot looks very different than anything Lexus has done before and demonstrates to the 50-million-strong Super Bowl audience that 2012 will be a breakthrough year for Lexus.”

The 30-second commercial is scheduled to air at the end of the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVI. An early look at the commercial can be seen today on Lexus social media channels, including Facebook and YouTube. The new GS series will be a touchdown for Lexus and this very cool Super Bowl ad is a great way to start things up!
