Misleading Lexus ad trashes plug-in vehicles

Credit no credit here: Lexus/Toyota

There is a general rule here: the purpose of advertising is not to inform. It is to influence the public to buy a product. Any relationship to the truth is dependent on the ethics of the advertiser. Unfortunately, advertising is one more area where society rewards those with no, or shaky ehthics. Buyer beware.
