With his strong focus on the personalities behind the brand,

Chester Dawson has crafted a compelling insider look at Lexus and

its whirlwind history, from the company's risky beginnings and

earliest setbacks to the current challenges it faces as the number

one luxury car manufacturer in the United States. Lexus: The

Relentless Pursuit is an essential read that I would recommend to

both Lexus enthusiasts and anyone else looking for real insight

into one of the world's most successful business stories.

Praise for the Hard Cover Edition

Toyota is the best car company in the world. From a truck-maker

in World War II to a carmaker in the 1950s to a Lexus maker in the

1980s, it excels everywhere. Chester Dawson is a Japanese-speaking

investigative reporter who has got the inside story of Lexus and

made it come alive.
