Default Lexus releases new ad campaign to introduce the ISc

May 15, 2009 - To help launch the new IS Convertible coming this summer, Lexus has introduced a new ad campaign to showcase an array of IS models. With the addition of a new IS Convertible, a new tag line has been created allowing people to "Live a little, a lot". Today, Lexus releases four new commercials on You Tube and will broadcast on TV. Focusing on a "fun to drive" experience, for the first time people can now jump in to a new IS without having to open the doors. The last of the series of new commercial called "Scream" which showcases the new IS line featuring the regular IS sedan, the performance monster IS F and the all-new IS Convertible on the streets of Downtown LA. "Liberation through acceleration" helps generate new excitement for the now diverse Lexus IS line.

looks pretty good in the commercials. they look like they're yawning instead of screaming in the fourth one though.

Good choice on choosing males to be driving the vehicle in each commercial, they wouldn't want the car to be more suggestively girly than it already is. It does look not too bad in commercials, but we see no shots of it with the top up.

the 3rd and 4th ones are pretty good, specially the 4th, good to see the whole IS lineup to let people associate them together

the first two though, they are a bit weak

I don't think Lexus really cares whether more females are buying them than males or not as long as it sells reasonably well. And females tend to like convertibles more anyway ...

I agree they look better in these commercials too ...

Maybe they should just save the money on marketing this ugly-@$$ thing and market something else or put it toward creating a real sports coupe, you know, one people will actually care about and possibly buy.

Actually looks decent in the commercial but almost all of the shots cut off a portion of the big ol boot that makes the car look so ugly. And I don't really get these commercials, except for the last one. The IS C... helps you get out of sticky situations?

Hey! How about that... The IS Line commercial is the one that I saw filming in downtown Tampa... At least the portion with the IS-F...
