Go and See

Follow Malcolm Gladwell, a self-described car nut, to Lexus headquarters in Japan. There he discovers cars covered in fur; why flowers are essential to engineering; and how a motion as simple as a closing window tells you everything you need to know about omotenashi, the philosophy that informs every aspect of Lexus design.
