I too say f Lexus commercials they suck. But im with d-bag in that they have changed the perception of their brand to more of a luxury car, but most people still dont see them in the ranks of BMW or Mercedes.

There is no chance i would ever drive a BMW or Mercedes or any other pure luxury car, i would just feel like a complete ass hole riding around all the time in one of those things. I would however rock a lexus and maybe an Acura just because i dont think either can ever been true luxury cars. They are in the sames ranks of Cadillac or Lincoln; just the flagship cars of a bigger brand. If money was no serisous issue i would still rock a top of the line toyota over a lexus as my daily driver all day. Id just feel like a d-bag (not you dirt) rockin a car with a fancy name as my primary vehicle. Its the same to me as the people who have fancy rims on their commuter car.

Regardless what kind of car brands you like or dont like or the image you want to present or dont want to present, i think these commercials are ridiculous. If someone gives me a car im probably gonna be happy, but only if it was a windfall and the other option is nothing.

But if my spouse just goes out and buys a car for herself without consulting me first im gonna be a little pissed, just like i think she should be pissed at me for bringing a car home without consulting her. "I just thought we talked about major purchases like this first honey?" If she buys one FOR ME im gonna be furious. Several girls have said the same thing to me when watching the commercial.

A car is a personal choice. There are tons of different shades of paint, a couple interior colors, tons of options, different tire packages, mud guards, all sorts of stuff. Maybe i just need to man up and realize that only guys make the decisions and that a wife has no say in something like a car, house or any other major financial decision. Does anyone know if they have this commercial but its the wife that buys the guy a car? That would just be ridiculous right?
