Looks like fun to me.

All SUVs can do this if its driven like this

What do expect when you are going 70mph! I own this car and I have never experienced bad handling.

@matthvm Not with the stability control turned on though....

Here's an idea. If you're brain dead enough to need stability control why not take up something other than driving? Unsafe because a computer doesn't bail you out? Who makes these things up? This is just as stupid as that fat guy winning a lawsuit against mcdonalds.

Really this world needs a wake up call. So many stupid people who don't like having to think for themselves.

sorry but i disagree

[jangkimtyler]

whoever really make a turn like that?

After all this trash talk about toyota. I still went out and bought one. Personally I don't think it's hurting toyota any with all this stupid media. When watching this video I thought the lexus was going to rollover, but it didn't. Looks pretty safe to me. Nice try tho.

Generally you will never drive your GX460 like that.

Consumer reports CEO drives a Lexus GX460 he wanted to be the only one driving one, and thats the only way he thought of keeping other from buying it!

"don't buy, may cause unusual amounts of fun"

since when was stability control a requirement.. the car didn't spin out. or flip over like a jeep or tahoe would on dry pavement. any car spins out when you go to fast.
