LOL. Lexus has always used Primacys. Harder to make fun of them when you say "Lexus tires" though.

Made up name, created in a advertising agency boardroom then vetted by a focus group to make sure it sounded luxurious and non Asian. No thanks.

Well, not all (since we are really talking about brand). Aren't most named after their founders?

No, actually its not.
Chevrolet, Ford, Cadillac, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Datsun, BMW, Audi, Harley Davidson, Yamaha, etc. Most are historic and have ties to the original founder. Lexus is some made up shit from the west coast to distance themselves from the disgusting nature of the Toyota nameplate. How dare the economy brand become an engineering powerhouse and dominate worldwide basic transportation and any racing they decide to participate in. Yeah, that's embarrassing, let's distance ourselves from that and make up a name that sounds like the western word for opulence. |
