Nicks Car Tips #10 - Oprah and the Lexus LS460

This tip was originally sent in 2007.

Today's tip comes courtesy of Mrs. Hart, because she keeps an eye on Oprah while I'm at the office. On yesterday's Oprah show, Oprah, with Lexus's Vice President of Sales, Jim Colon, experienced parking the new LS460 with the new Advanced Parking Guidance system, right there on her stage in front of a live studio audience.

Apparently, Oprah is not the most confident of drivers. She says that, other than passing trucks, going over bridges, bumpy roads, or driving at night, she's fine. Oh, and parallel parking is not her thing either. She was delighted when the car did the steering, while she had the security of controlling the brake herself.

You can see more about the segment at http://www2.oprah.com/tows/slide/200702/20070201/slide_20070201_350_107.jhtml. And Mrs. Hart says that, if you visit the site, or request it enough, they might put the actual footage up as streaming video too.

If you would like to experience the new LS460 for yourself, I'm happy to help. You don't even need tickets to Oprah.

Best wishes for safe driving!
