Default SoCal 3rd Gen GS owners please read!

I received a request from a coordinator for a Japanese television production company working on a one hour Japanese television program called "Dawn of the Earth" for TV Tokyo. "Dawn of the Earth" is an economic news program which airs weekly and introduces business news from all over the world in a documentar format.

Since Lexus will start its business first time in Japan this August, we are planning to have a feature on the popularity of Lexus in the United States.

They are looking for a current owner of Lexus LS430 or NEW GS who recently switched from GM car (prefer Cadillac, to compare with Lexus' luxury)

We are looking for a owner around LA to Dana Point area. In Los Angeles would be the best, but we can go anywhere in Southern California.

On the show, we would like to follow and interview the person who switched from GM to Lexus. Also, we would like to shoot the service of Lexus while the person drops off his/her car at the dealership for the maintenance.

What we would like to shoot with the car owner is as
follows:
1) Brief interview at his/her home
2) Driving shot with their car
3) Arriving to Lexus dealership, and getting the loan car
for the day (dropping off the car also)

We will contact with the dealership for the film permission, but if the Lexus owner could introduce us their maintenance dealer would be a great help.

Mainly, we would like to show Japanese viewers the relationship with the dealer and car owner.

The filming schedule is not fixed yet, but we are hoping that we could film around the week of July 18th.
If you or someone you know fits the criteria, please let me know via PM ASAP!
