The All-New 2013 Lexus RX – Venus vs. Mars

2013 Lexus RX350

You’ve heard that women are from  Venus and men are from Mars.  Well the same analogy goes for the 2012 Lexus RX350 and the 2013 Lexus RX350

Our 2012 model is from Venus.  Although I have no real data to support this statement, I think it’s safe to say that the Lexus RX appeals to females more than males (this assumption derives from our extensive internal list of female RX owners).  The shape, handling and luxury that it offers gives women the power to own a crossover vehicle without compromising their zest for class, femininity and style. 


Melissa Chase – Review on the All New 2013 Lexus GS350

As promised, I finally caught up with Melissa Chase from 103.7 the River to get her review on the all-new 2013 Lexus GS350 and here’s what she had to say.

I challenge you to come by Lexus of Richmond today to experience this magnificent vehicle and others in its class! 

P. S.  Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!  Our showroom will be opened on Monday!  I hope to see you.


And the Winner Is…

Have you ever been in an atmosphere filled with people sitting and waiting with eager expectation for a winner of an award to be announced?  Have you ever heard the expression “you could hear a pin drop”? 

On yesterday I experienced both!  During a breakfast banquet at Ruth’s Chris, the winner of the 17th Annual Lexus of Richmond Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award was announced.  When I tell you “I could hear a pin drop” that’s no exaggeration.


The Evolution of Technology – That Was Then!

Dinosaur!

Remember the day when we relied heavily on facimiles, copy machines, carbon paper, postage stamps, typewriters, newspapers and paper maps!  I think back to those time, and I shake my head!  Unbelievable.  We were the modern day Flintstones living in the stone age in comparison to the conveniences of today.

Now with iPhone, iPads, emails, text messaging, PC’s, digital advertising and navigation (GPS) systems, I cringe at the thought of having to change a ribbon in a typewriter!  Seriously?  Not even!  The only use I would have for a typewriter would be as a decorative piece used for starting “remember when” conversations, along with the house phone.

I just saw radio personality Melissa Chase cruising around central #RVA in the All-New 2013 Lexus GS350

I made every attempt to catch up to her to see how she was enjoying the vehicle, but my car could not handle the challenge!  I’ll just send her an email instead…LOL.  In the meantime, I understand she’s doing radio spots on 103.7 The River, so tune in with me and let’s get her take on the vehicle while listening to some cool sounds.

2013 Lexus RX350 – You’ve Got The Look!

Superior Styling

2013 Lexus RX350

It’s finally here!

Calls have been coming in!

Email inquiries have been sent!

Customers have visited our elite showroom!

We’ve experienced numerous drive-bys! 

Why all the buzz you asked?  Everyone has been waiting for the debut of the All-New 2013 LEXUS RX350, and we have it here at Lexus of Richmond!

I absolutely adore what Lexus did with the new spindle grill!  This bold change has taken the RX350 from smooth, cute and family-friendly to “sporty“, “powerful” and “intuitive“!  I’m confident in saying this new design is really going to cater not only to women (as it has in the past), but to men as well! 


Sales Consultant of the Month – Robert Norton

Sales ConsultantIt is with pleasure that I introduce to you Lexus of Richmond’s SALES CONSULTANT of the MONTH for both March and April of 2012, the one and only Robert Norton!   I sat down with Robert on yesterday for an exclusive interview and here’s what he shared.
   
Robert how long have you been in the automotive industry?
“I have been in the automobile business since October, 1982.” 
 
 How long have you been with Lexus of Richmond?
“I have been with Lexus of Richmond for 6-years and 3-months”.
 
Robert, you have earned SALES CONSULTANT of the MONTH for 2-consecutive months.  What do you attribute your success to?
“There are several things I attribute my success to.  I keep in touch with my previous clients.  I have a good relationship with so many, that they remember me for their next car purchase.  Because I have such good relationships established, they refer others to me.  I sincerely try to serve the peopole I work with, educating and informing them without a lot of hoopla.  People know when you’re truly interested in helping them in any business.  I set goals every month for myself in writing.  I believe something happens when you reduce a goal to writing and then you are willing to put forth the effort to make it happen.”
 
Robert, what is in your opinion, the best selling Lexus model?  And why?
“In my opinion the LexusRX350 is the best selling Lexus model.  It has such a proven track record.  The styling, comfort, smooth ride, dependability, technology, and the resale value is absolutely the best in today’s market.
 
Robert thank you for the interview and congratulations again on your achievements.  I’m certain you will do equally well in the months to come.
“Thanks for this Kim.  I am humbled.” 
 
The pursuit of perfection continues!  Please come by and meet Robert Norton and our staff of friendly, competent Sales Consultants at Lexus of Richmond today!

 


Lexus of Richmond – 2012 March for Babies!

When you think of babies, do you think Lexus of Richmond?  Well you should, and here’s why!

The staff and management of Lexus of Richmond had an awesome time supporting this year’s Born healthyMARCH of DIMES  – MARCH for BABIES

This year marked the third consecutive year that we’ve supported March of Dimes - March for Babies. Each year has afforded us an opportunity to come up with creative ideas to raise money and ensure we do our part in aiding in the birth of healthy babies and combat against infant mortality.  We’re equally passionate, because of the “premature” births we’ve encountered within our own Lexus of Richmond family.  Had it not been for the research and mission of the March of Dimes, our babies would not have had the wonderful outcomes they did, and we’re so grateful.
