sad how the biggest volume dealer of lexus throws out all kinda of crap when selling a lexus. IE we charge a couple grand more because our service department is nice.

Dont know who designed it but the name alexis was brought up then changed to lexis becuase that was a character on dynasty so the a was dropped then changed to lexus because it sounded more technical.

Actually Hunter Communications, designed the "L" logo and also presented the name to Toyota management. Lexus was born of the "LE" on the automaker's luxury edition vehicles, which created the acronym "Luxury Edition for the United States" or "LEUS" with the "x" from "luxury" added to form "LEXUS.

Oh man... there are officially a million different stories of the name and logo's origin now. It depends greatly on what lexus book you want to read.
