Pretty Clever

Last one to join the “advertising duel” in the automotive world is the Japanese luxury automaker Lexus. In their latest online adverts, Lexus is trying to make a strong statement to its direct competitors: BMW, Audi and of course, Mercedes.
BMW has been placing their bets on the “Joy” marketing slogan, Audi has been tooting their own horn with “Progress is beautiful”, and Mercedes claims its superior elegance, but Lexus comes to dis all of these statements with their own:” The Lexus Range. Where optional is standard”, a conclusion to the full message: “There’s NO JOY, NO PROGRESS, NO ELEGANCE, in paying extra for what should come standard”.
To bring support to their case, Lexus goes ahead and lists some of the optional features or packages available in the three German brands, but standard in the Lexus vehicles.
The message sent is clear and one has to admit, the visual representation is very clever, an interesting marketing approach to online advertising and they make these “advertising wars” even more appealing to all of us.

i was in south africa for two weeks during the world cup. i must have seen just one LS460, and probably a handful of IS's the entire time. on the other hand, BMW's, Audi's, and Mercedes' were ALL over the place. good to know that Lexus is trying hard to push into SA

Lexus SA is on the expansion path, as noted since their 2007 relaunch, they've multiplied sales many-fold, even the LS 460 has taken the #2 spot in the flagship class behind only the longtime S-Class.

I actually Love what the South Africa Lexus Marketing Team did with their new IS-F commercial...
