Winter Weather Driving Tips

The best thing to do when the roads are icy or snow covered is to avoid driving if possible. However, there are times that we cannot avoid getting out on the roads. In times like this there a few things to consider that might help keep you safe.


First: Be sure to leave in plenty of time so that you can keep your speeds low. Driving slow will not only help you control your vehicle it will also help stopping.


Second: Brake gently to avoid sliding, and if you start to lose traction and slide let off the brake.
Third: Fully remove ice and snow from the windshield and lights. This will give you the best chance of seeing any obstacles and allow others to see you.


Finally: Don’t assume your vehicle is able to handle any road condition. Even if you made a great decision by purchasing one of the safest vehicles made there are conditions that are not suitable for any vehicle. Never pass a snowplow and do not drive through snow banks.

Love at First Sight

They say it all the time, how it's impolite to stare, but sometimes you just can't help it. When you're cruising down the highway and a pearly white Lexus IS F whizzes by, it's hard to keep your eyes from following! So we are here to tell you that it's okay. We are only human, and when something so flawless revs its engine, it is nearly impossible to focus on anything other than that beautifully crafted machine. So whether you are in love with its perfectly contoured exterior, its sparkling coat of white, or the way it moves while it cruises, we don't blame you for staring a little longer than you should. We won't judge you. In fact, we'll join you.

The Lexus RX Redesigned

A freshly re-designed exterior to accompany its fresh new features. With a multitude of luxurious options and accessories to choose from, the 2015 Lexus RX definitely does not disappoint. Whether you need to entertain the kids on a long drive with a rear-entertainment system, or you crave an exterior that is just as edgy as you, the RX has what you need to define luxury. Different models like the F Sport and the Hybrid make your experience everything go above and beyond with every mile.

The RX Hybrid is the first hybrid vehicle to feature Intelligent Shift Control, a system that can estimate whether you are traveling uphill or downhill and automatically provide the optimal engine response, or you can manually shift for greater responsiveness and maneuverability. The power opening and closing rear door offers easy access to the rear storage area. The rear door can be raised and lowered from inside the vehicle by using a switch or remotely with the SmartAccess fob. The available dual-screen Rear-Seat Entertainment System enables two video sources to be viewed at the same time. Using a single remote control, one can be used, for instance, as a DVD player and the other as a game console or audio player. Wireless headphones are also graciously included, leaving the driver free to enjoy something entirely different: silence. 

In addition to remote features and relaxing accessories, the RX is designed to know its driver. Available heated and ventilated front seats can be personalized using three separate settings each for heating and cooling, and the available Lexus Memory System automatically adjusts the power driver’s seat (except lumbar), the outside mirrors and the steering wheel to your personal settings. It's hard to believe so much luxury can come in such a dynamic package. The Lexus RX prides itself on not only impressing you, but all other drivers on the road.

Brute luxury at its finest, the Lexus GX does class big. The GX offers an array of innovative features to help keep you more aware of your surroundings.
