THE DEFENSE

Q: Great Lexus and interesting color. What can you tell us about it?

A: It has four wheels and can get me from point A to point B. I'm happy.

Q: But why did you choose a Lexus?

A: Because the dealership is close to get to. It's right across from Costco, so if we have to leave it at the dealership, we can go to Costco and do some shopping around the area within walking distance.

Q: How is the dealership?

A: It happens to be a good dealership. They're really accommodating and have a lot of nice services. You can get a manicure. You can do exercises in the workout room. I think they even have a hairdresser. They have a little café. So it's very consumer friendly.

Q: Have you ever used the gym there!?

A: No, but I could.

Q: What's the farthest you've driven the car?

A: Boca, to visit friends.

Q: What do you especially like about your car?

A: It's comfortable and easy to handle. Smooth. Nice. Easy.

Q: What else did you look at when buying the car? What was important to you?

A: Gas mileage! And comfort. When I went into the car, I was able to adjust the seat to fit my body type. It was a comfortable arrangement. My knees didn't hit the steering wheel area. It was comfortable seating.

Q: How would you describe the color? I want to get it right. I really like it. Is it called a powder blue?

A: It's a light blue. I figured it was a good color because it's not a usual color. So if I was looking for it in a parking lot, I'd be able to spot it. The blue would stand out a little.
