Default Lexus Marketing is AMAZING

Hey Guys

I checked my mail today and got a box from Lexus. On the box it says "Can a car really measure your temperature with an infared sensor?" I open the box and letter saying they are giving me an infared sensor to detect temperature. On the side there is this bar which has Lexus on it, and i have to say it is the coolest thing ever. It has an LCD screen which displays the temperature it reads. You touch the surface of what you want measured, click a button, and it measures it for you, all in about a millisecond. I did a little research on google to see the price of it and it is MSRP $39.95!!!!!!!!!

It is the Thermohawk 200... It has a Lexus logo on it as well.

I just had to say that Lexus has the best marketing. For the new ES350, i received a leather picture frame.

Wow

I used to own a 94 ES300, and I now have a 01 LS430 Ultra and a 06 RX400h, if that brings up anything.

Yea, I got the ES picture frame too. Twice.

Yeah... I saw that, very neat and creative. I still have that ES picture on it, but I'm really waiting for a really nice LS460L or 600hL picture to put in there.
