Encore! 8 Unforgettable Lexus Commercials

Daily Slideshow: Since the beginning in 1989, Lexus has had some great and memorable commercials, and the trend continues. While Infiniti was selling you on a mysterious and peaceful zen ambiance, Lexus has always been about precision, luxury, quality, and style. Read on and let’s look at some of the memorable and iconic ads they’ve had over the years.

In my book, none of the newer Lexus ads can match the classic ones by James (Mr. Lexus) Sloyan and his soothing, butter-smooth voice. You've already posted a couple of them...the LS400 champagne-glass and the ES300 ball bearing.

Here's another one of Sloyan's classics.......I didn't see it on your list.


It was a real shame when he quit doing Lexus ads in 2009 and moved on to Mitsubishi (yes, Mitsubishi) ...but that was right around the time that Lexus was changing the character of their products, from tank-solid, soundproofed cocoons to cost-cutting and making the vehicles less vault-like. Perhaps (?) he felt he could no longer do those ads in good conscience.

 

Or Mitsubishi paid him more

 

Agreed that money often talks, but, with his long, well-paid career, both in acting and in making ads, I don't think he was exactly standing in the bread line.

 

Neither are head coaches and athletes, but they jump ship all the time for a few extra pennies

 

still my all time favorite Lexus commercial is the GS "Moments". Surprised that didn't make the cut.

 

Something wicked this way comes! The 300hp Lexus GS400!

 

 

^^ a bit long winded, no? lol

I think they had a decent one for the LX a few years ago.

 

Yea, the LX can cross pavement and grass in that commercial

 

Champagne Glasses is super cool. But this is the one that really stuck out for me...

 

^^ I don't remember that one with the guitar, but that's pretty cool.

 

Now that is taking the road less traveled by
