Extremely dangerous, and wreckless...I wish someone would have called the cops.

Goes to show you every moron should not have a luxury car

Great system, but why oh why no "off" button. Once you get stuck in deep snow (parking after night off snow) it's impossible to get out because the damn system won't allow wheelspin. Protection is good, interference is bad.. So lexus... Add a freaking button!

What if you have to avoid an obstacle? Will VDIM prevent you from using the steering wheel?

I have this VDIM on my 09" Toyota Camry Hybrid and it's a lifesaver. Should be on every car!

VDIM is a wonderful thing and I've had the opportunity to drive the wheels off an IS, GS, RX & LS with this system and it does work amazingly well. A few thing to remember though ... You're driving a nearly 2 ton vehicle on 4 rubber tires.... These systems can make you feel like a hero but they can't rewrite physics. I've found these systems work best when used "unintentionally" ... playing with it could be like kissing a Cobra.

Not funny, just fitting. Deliberately driving recklessly is never a good idea. The car's computer obviously has more sense than its driver.

Lexus's stability control system is incredible. The driving characteristics of this vehicle in the snow are simply amazing.

would have been funny if the system failed and you went sideways into a tree or house, haha.
