Default Anyone else find the latest Lexus commercial annoying?

The F series provokes Lust (It is the F Series after all!), Envy and Wrath. There you go. All the right reasons to buy a performance automobile. The couple sees the car pass and begin to tear each pther's clothes off? I mean come on already. The spoiled rich kid sits in his F car waiting for the train to pass, gritting his teeth and plotting revenge on an enemy or whatever one does to unleash their wrath?

Wow. I have lost all respect for that automaker. I know they are trying to be edgy, but that is just stupid. Maybe they'll come out with a special model called the Fme!

Realize that the target audience for most products except "Touch of Gray' and Cialis is between 20 and 35 years old. Young people. Who lack the sophistication and taste that comes from experience and maturity. The music on the other Lexus ads is absolutely horrible. Lady gaga crap. Lexus makes arguably the best quality luxury car out there.....superior to the German cars for reliability. And the British ones, as well. But those ads? YECH.

I pay as little attention to commercials as possible but that does sound like a parallel (sp) to where this country is headed. Right down the gutter.

Another one that really raises my ire is the one about Citgo's new "green" gasoline.
Where the dufus is trying to get everybody jazzed up about how "good" it makes their car sound...etc

The auto commercial that gets me is the test driver in the Mercedes commercial that after driving a "hot" car in the desert a man hands him a bottle of water that he proceeds ton pour over his head. Doesn't a $75K Mercedes have A/C? Jon

Nah, he had helmet hair and just wanted to get back to that bed head/just stepped out of the shower look for the female demographic.
