Hmm, I think I am going to have to post more like them (or maybe not ). I went back and looked at Lexus press releases and the competition is rarely mentioned. If they are, it is one of respect. Never a snide or crude remarks.

Seems Lexus makes the numbers and rewards do the talking

We have all read just recently, swipe after swipe at Lexus. Clearly, the brand is still a huge worry for many, to mention it in such a manner.

I think it goes to their incredible management team, who has their clear vision for the brand and it has worked for 17 incredible years.

I have always noticed that.. even when you go to their web page to look at the car. When I was researching the IS I looked for things that pretty much called out the competition but they didn't. I saw the rewards, researched the brand, and found that.. despite the little *edge* some of the competition had that Lexus was the competent and responsible buy.

 

They did give MB a little smack when they said they were "one gear better"...

 

Not publicly though.

 

The humbleness is rooted in the Oriental culture.

I am not an Oriental, however I practice an Oriental Martial art and this is a very important part of our training - to be humble, respectful and courteous.

It is the culture - plain and simple.

 

Yes Hameed, put oversimply - Western culture is more about ego and bragging, whereas Eastern culture is more about letting the results speak for themselves and having pride about it.

 

So at the next meet, don't say "Hey I brought 4 girls with me" but instead just stand and look pretty with them?

 

I don't think "pretty" is an adjective I would describe you with though Mike.

 

Either way, we'll still be jealous.

 

thats because they ownz0r the big 3, so they cant afford to behave that way.

there was one time when Jim Press called Toyota the best in something (i forgot what), and there were probably an million of posts on forums and articles in media how Toyota is behaving like they own the world, etc, etc...

 

Okay so I'll post pics of me with 4 girls at a meet but I won't say anything.....to be like Lexus, humble
