Team One is extremely close with Lexus (reps that visit Tahara Japan etc), and very high-pressure (at least in the past, turnaround due to the high expectations of handling the Lexus ads). The other automotive companies have generally switched around...and at least in the recent Lexus ads, the HP numbers have been entirely accurate.
yup, that's correct, but still though, 90% of the people out there know about lexus but not about team one. so i can tell you for sure, if someone is wrong with a lexus ad, people are going to laugh at lexus

Psh, what is with that minivan of a MDX.
Haven't you heard of the R63, ML63, SRT-8, Cayenne. Heck, what about the Tahoe SS!

The MDX might be the best for you, but someone else might LOVE the RX more, or any other vehicle. I dunno, maybe you're just slow.

Blah, MDX, R63, ML63, SRT-8, Cayenne, RX350, and those cute Audi and Volvo raised station wagons too, are any of those even trucks? I thought they were all cars in disguise. Now, a 4runner or Land Cruiser, that's a truck.

I was watching Fox yesterday, these guys haven't seen the blunder. I didn't realize it was nearly 2 months ago...
