Car firm's environmental credentials are misleading
A LUXURY car manufacturer's environmental claims misled the public, the Advertising Standards Authority ruled today.
The Lexus poster and national newspaper adverts also portrayed speed in a way that might have encouraged motorists to drive irresponsibly, according to the watchdog.
It relates to a campaign for the Lexus RX400h hybrid, which was headlined: "Put your carbon foot down". It showed an image of the car with its wheels moving against a blurred background.
