I am having difficulties with the word liberal which to my mind, is all about being broad minded and non judgmental.
ah, there's the rub. in this case, they are using the term in its' political meaning, which, yes, for the most part means broad-minded and non-judgemental, and so, also means standing up for the little guy; social concerns, environmental issues, etc., which are seen as contrary to owning a fancy, very expensive automobile. so the term "Lexus Liberal" can be a very apt one.
