Whether a busy mom on-the-go, a career woman or somewhere in between, the need to purchase a new vehicle will ultimately arise. Through its Lexus Difference program, Lexus is working to guarantee a positive experience for women at their dealerships nationwide.

The panel discussion, featuring women who hold important expertise in various aspects within the auto industry, aims to help Lexus share this important message with women of all life stages.

  • Peggy Turner, Lexus Vice President of Customer Services
  • Lauren Fix, The Car Coach® and automotive expert
  • Audra Fordin, Certified Auto Mechanic and founder of Women Auto Know

Editor’s note and disclosure: I am receiving financial compensation for planning and implementing this event in partnership with Lexus at the 2016 New York Auto Show. The event is informational and serves to create a dialogue around common challenges women experience when car shopping. This partnership does not currently affect, and will not in the future affect, our editorial opinion and portrayal of Lexus and/or Toyota vehicles.
