Lexus needs to pay this ad company a big bonus. They have perfectly hit the sweet spot between being confident about the product and condescending. Audi's ad merely demonstrated their own corporate unease and fear--this was a PERFECT comeback.

And they did it without directly referencing Audi.

Well, the thing is that the rebuttal was not for Audi alone.

It's for all those fanbois and magazines that think Lexus is mellow (albeit it truly is).

It's a matter of practicality. The 5% of the population that are sport performance enthusiasts want it; the 95% of the population that drive a car "normally" couldn't care less.

"Just because you can (5%), doesn't mean that you should (95%)"

Audi has a new commercial out for its R8, saying it is the slowest car they ever put into production. Wonder what Lexus will come up with.

I still enjoy the LS460 self park one. With the champagne glasses, pays tribute to the original LS and flaunts new technology.
