eh

TheAcAvenger · 08-16-2011, 07:13 PM

awful... especially considering the GS was the lexus's boldest looking car

DASHOCKER · 08-16-2011, 07:32 PM

Another angle...

Boost Gomez · 08-16-2011, 07:50 PM

That looks horrible.

Sylon · 08-16-2011, 07:51 PM

Looks like a Suzuki.

Also, I think its funny they covered up the (L) logo, but left the nameplates uncovered, lol.

TK-421 · 08-16-2011, 08:05 PM

I think there's a mistake because the rear shot is a Hyundai Sonata.

txz4 · 08-16-2011, 08:11 PM

there must be a mistake because that's clearly a maxima

Was just gonna say this. Lexus officially has no good looking cars in their line up

SilverII · 08-16-2011, 08:16 PM

yuck

san~man · 08-16-2011, 08:43 PM

Ugly

Davin · 08-16-2011, 10:23 PM

Looks very audi/5 Series-ish

LFA

ianbiz · 08-16-2011, 10:39 PM

That is hideous. Why do all new cars look alike and keep getting uglier and uglier? I'm all for modern design and such, but "cmon man!"

Q4P · 08-16-2011, 10:48 PM

This is definitely an ugly design for Lexus but I wouldn't say that they have no good looking vehicles... the LFA, IS-F, GX 460 and LX570 all look great!

But the GX and LX look terrible.

LFA is kinda a product of wind tunnels. Definitely not a beautiful flowing car.

Looks are very subjective but I will say this... in my opinion the Is-F looks just fine outside of the horrible exhaust pipes, the LFA is boss and looks very original, way better than BMW's supercar; the I8, i mean WTF is that lol? The Gx and Lx are truck based chassis and are essentially the only SUV's of it's kind, they can actually go off-road and perform pretty decently unlike any BMW suv which is essentially made to be driven on offroads as rough as grass

FStop7 · 08-16-2011, 11:25 PM

Just boring...

Chenry135 · 08-16-2011, 11:35 PM

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this is ugly. It makes me mad because this used to be their best looking car.

Petlizard · 08-17-2011, 06:40 AM

+1 on the LFA being ugly. Performs great and sounds awesome but very, very ugly.

hks786 · 08-17-2011, 06:41 AM

wow....that's fugly. The trim around the front grille is looks stupid. Rear end looks like a Kia.

gonzo · 08-17-2011, 08:21 AM

I read peoples comments on how the 911 looks the same year after year blah blah blah.

This car shows what can happen when designers fiddle F around too much and end up with a hideous mess.

Lexus has their clients and it will sell though. To each their own but I will stick with flowing lines and not a tangent orgy.
