Power 2016 Canadian Manufacturer Website Evaluation StudySM (MWES). And the Canadian Lexus site, designed by Saatchi-owned TPM Communications,  achieved the highest rank overall based on responses from 3,380 new-vehicle shoppers who indicate they will be in the market for a new vehicle within the next 24 months.

 "We are honoured to know that our lexus.ca website offers a rich Guest experience synonymous with our luxury vehicles and ownership experience,” said Jennifer Barron, Director, Lexus Canada.  “This J.D.
