Talking When Lexus dealer advertising goes bad....

I can't even believe this is real....


Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett where I get my cars doesn't slap a sticker or name on the car but gives you a nice chrome license plate.


That pic is sad

Tell me you're kidding. If I bought off the lot, I'd have that thing removed before the car left the dealership. If I was ordering I'd have it in the contract "no sticker".

Looks like it might be a uglified SC430 to me...

That's horrible, though.

BTW, I totally love those nice chrome plates. I did not buy my car from there, but i still wanted one of those plates (they are pretty nice). So I went there, and they gave me one still. I mean its free advertising, but its a nice chrome plate =).

Yes indeed it is very common on the east coast, Rallye Lexus , Tri-County, that one posted Ray Catena, and it's not only them it's the other car makers dealers aswell. Luckily when I got my MPV the dealer they had to get it from another dealer that doesn't put shiny tacky plastic on the tailgate that says AutoNetwork and then when I got my Pathfinder they didn't do it either.

Good 'ol Ray Catena here in Jersey. Owns MANY dealerships in the area. Lexus, Benz, Porsche, Infinity, etc. Multiple dealers of each brand as well.

Good dealership, but a tad on the "nose in the air" side.
