Handling saved me from a crash

I was merging on the highway yesterday coming from the right into a lane moving about 60 with stopped traffic to the left and was about 90% into my new lane when a truck (no indicators used) abruptly pulled out from the left. It looked like those silly car commercials where all the logs just fall on the road and the Lexus or whatever has to swerve around it.
I had to swerve back into the right lane in about ~50 feet at ~60 miles an hour but the car handled it like a champ. Once I had merged in front of the no blinker truck 2 different people gave me thumbs up out of their window as they passed.
I honestly don't think any other car I have driven could have moved as fast to the side as I did and honestly I was probably only a few feet (if that) from hitting him even in my BRZ.
