I couldn't find any reference to a Greek God called "Lexus" but;

Found this list of 'Lesser Known Greek Gods' here, some of them are funny:

LInk

Legos - Builder of great cities
Reebok - god who feuded with Nike
Seuss - God of Green Eggs and Ham
Xerox - Cheap copy of a Greek God!
Typo-the god of bad spelling
RAM & ROM - twin gods of cyberspace
Mentos - The Freshmaker
Halitosis...Evil God of Dentists
Midas - God of Mufflers
Euthanasia - patron goddess of Dr. Kevorkian
Lintos: The God of dust bunnies
HUH: The Goddess of Memory
********* (Hercules ballsier brother)
Shaq - god of missed free throws and bad movies

Often I symphathize with corporations when they file infringement suits, but this one is nonsense. Lexus is not only a common name among strippers and **** stars, but is also a very common name for "escorts" and prostitutes. Toyota marketers had to have known that when they chose the Lexus name for the new division......if not, IMO, it is on them for not doing their homework. That's what they get paid good money for.

Umm, I think Toyota started using the Lexus name for their luxury brand division before all these people you mentioned use it as their own . . .

It's been a common name in the DC-area escort/prostitution buisness for many years, though, obviously, I don't make a habit of patronizing that kind of buisness. Still, names of girls and customers arrested locally make the papers all the time....it's no secret. And there is no reason to believe that other major cities, particularly New York City with its enormous sex-oriented economy, and Las Vegas, where prostitution is legal, are not similiar also.

If she rides like a Lexus, perhaps Toyota Motor Corp may have a cause of action. Allow me to check her out Toyota

It's a completely different industry. Lexus has no ground to stand on over a persons name verses a company.

/end.

Toyotas lawyers are starting to tick me off a little with these frivolous lawsuits.
