Default New Lexus model spotted

This must be a prototype for a new Lexus model... Introducing the S300. Haha I can't believe someone would waste the money for a Corolla, and even worse these are the more expensive black pearl emblems. They even went further and bought the license plate frame to prove its a Lexus. They failed though because when I went around them the car still had to original Corolla hubcaps. Yes hubcaps, not rims. I would guess 99% of people would realize this is not a Lexus. Major Fail.

The question is if you get pulled over by a cop would he write Toyota or Lexus?

This is because status is so important to people in Southern California. We saw this when the economy tanked. The people with real money weren't hurting. The posers were the ones who took the big hits. I guess this driver is pretty smart. He bought a cheap Toyota and made it into a Lexus. I wonder what he tells people when they ask what kind of car he/she drives?

Haha made me laugh but in Compton they actually drive Lexus (pre 1995-1996 SC400 or ES300). They usually have the candy or chameleon paint jobs and 24+" rims.
