Had an average image in terms of mktg. An excellent reputation of solidity and less cost of maintenance. They wanted to sell a product in direct competition with Mercedes at that time. Hired 600 Japanese students as interns studying in the US, financed their studies to become Au-pair to families who had Mercedes, during 1 year, each week send a report about all the positive elements to why they were using the Mercedes and the negative elements of their car. After 2 years, they combined the data and designed the first Lexus (wasn’t a brand then it was only a car). Journalists saw this, thought it was a joke but it was a success. Specifically designed for families who were driving E-class and ready to change for another model. Extended the name to a independent brand from Toyota.
