Makes me wonder how toyota found about this site. Probably the executive manager was searching the web for porn websites when he found this...
I find this topic to be funny!

"The passionate persuit of perfection"
I guess porn isn't the passion they speak of. Oh well.

It's now just "The Pursuit of Perfection," apparently. There's no passion involved.

Um, maybe he needs to reread the laws. You can carry the same name as long as you're in different businesses that aren't easily confused. So unless the girls start selling cars, or Lexus starts selling porn, this really is a moot issue.
After that, what's next, going after anybody who named their kid Lexus?

Yes, in fact the "Mercedes" in "Mercedes-Benz" was named after a young girl.

Mercedes was the name of the daughter of Emil Jellinek, an Austrian-German businessman who was on of the first and most loyal customers of the Benz & Cie. He always referred to his cars as "my Mercedes" and the name has stuck ever since.

How about an appropiate name like Alexi, Lexus is a dumb name for a girl.

I wonder why there's no pornstar by the name of 'BMW' or 'Audi?'
Guess those aren't really sexy or intriguing names huh?

Get real, BMW does not make a very good name for a living thing. Same with Audi.
