How would the latest Lexus commercial play out in real life?
The commercial:
You've all seen it: A father driving his two young daughters, navigating through a hostile urban setting : a rough-looking part of a city, a vicious-looking dog peering into one daughter's window, then a sudden stop and a fire-truck speeding by. The father looks reassuringly into the rear-view mirror, charts a new GPS course, and smoothly drives over a bridge for home, presumably tucked away in the safer suburbs. All to the soothing, mind-numbing strains of classical music.
The reality:
Several Lexus models have recently (and belatedly, as usual for Toyota) been recalled for fuel-tank and stalling defects. So what would really happen? Would the Lexus stall, stranding the father and children in the wilds of the urban jungle? Or would his sudden stop result in a rear-end collision and gas-tank explosion?
