Consumer's reports.... not to all consumers
 
They claimed the new Lexus GX is too dangerous...

some just call that lift-off oversteer


I'll buy one... not for the looks but it's drift ready!

Ahahaha. Lower that shiet, add some slicks, and you're ready :thumbsup:

im sorry

but physics will always win

especially when you have a tall high centered 6000 lb SUV

no computer will save your ass

call me a pussy but, i wouldn't turn a 3 ton suv going that quickly.

Toyota is on the spot for all kinds of attack now !! No matter what kinda vehicles and braking system they put in it. It's just another way for these big fat liars to blame their own stupid accidents on Toyota and sue for millions of dollars.

Someone rear ended me with a 94' Toyota 4 runner and he claimed that the car shoots forward after 10 seconds of stop at a traffic light. However, when I walked over to his vehicle and I found a spilled McDonald's coffee, unwrapped sausage and egg muffin with a half eaten harsh brown. Sorry, I took a picture of that to show ICBC already. Now, time for him to sue Toyota.

Didn't know the Stig worked part time for Consumer Reports.

or just learn how to drive.

Don't buy this SUV, because you cannot floor it around corners without drifting? Top marks for drifting before rolling.

Sweet dorifto!

VK79 04-14-2010 12:29 AM

I'm actually amazed that the car handled the oversteer so well.

InvisibleSoul 04-14-2010 12:31 AM

Just drive it like this:

Lol honestly? What a joke...

this should promote lexus because it can drift when cornering and not roll over! seriously though, whoever doesn't know that when you're turning too fast and your car has a higher center of gravity it will tend to roll overe.

American consumers tend to think VDC and all that crapola will save you from your idiocy...
