Right? It was a very bizarre choice to begin with, let alone one to continue pursuing even with the ongoing litigation.
I guess it's plausible that they got a snowjob from the PG legal team that these issues were being resolved, or something. But still, as a company THAT big, I'd be rather wary of any problems in regards to my brand. Because now, you look like you screwed up, and there are questions on the programs tenure.
Lexus needs to save face, and pull out. Then, drop a press release that says you didn't care for the negative press, or it was harmful to your brand, or something....anything that separates you from 3GT/PG and legal problems cleanly.
