JM Lexus is the largest Lexus dealer in the world and was actually founded by Jim Moran - who was instrumental in the creation of a luxury brand in the US - I would imagine that JM Lexus had no need to tip toe around the covenant, but is simply an exception to the rule because of their founder and his relationship with Toyota.  I had the joy of working for an SET dealership here in Florida and it really is an amazing company. Jim Moran was a very smart man.


The Jim Moran Foundation

The Toyota tradition continues with the growth of Lexus, a luxury car born from a discussion between Dr. S. Toyoda and Jim Moran in 1984. JM Lexus (www.jm-lexus.com ), which was established in 1989 in Margate, Fla., quickly became the #1 Lexus dealership in the United States. JM Lexus is now the #1 Lexus dealership in the world generating the highest sales volume among more than 190 Lexus dealerships.
