Quote:
A newspaper advert in which Toyota’s Lexus luxury car line claimed one of its hybrid vehicles was "perfect for today’s climate" breached advertising rules, a watchdog ruled Wednesday.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld complaints made by readers of a press ad for the Lexus RX 400H that stated it was "Perfect for today’s climate (and tomorrow’s)", and added: "Driving the world’s first luxury hybrid SUV makes environmental, and economic, sense."
The watchdog said the advert had broken rules regarding truthfulness and environmental claims, and added that readers would likely conclude that the car had little or no impact on the environment.
