The Lexus corporate face is awesome. It will grow on all of you. You will realize how amazing it is that the best looking cars in their class are made by Lexus, while the Europeans keep getting more and more boring.

I will be able to say I liked it before it was cool.

God that front end is hideous. Shame, the rest of the car is pretty good looking.

No...more of a joke, rather.

You get better power per dollar (a fact) and styling (an opinion) from a GTR or ZL1.

That grill!! I know styling is subjective, and you may well love it, but to me it's just terrible.

It isn't meant to be beautiful, this is not an Alfa, but is aggressive, bold and original, nobody did this before, because no CEO had balls as big as Akio Toyoda.

The same goes for girls, I would rather be with a girl that's original, fresh, interesting and cares enough to be different, than with one that is so boring that makes me wanna go out with the boys, and get drunk every night.

I'm repeating myself, but I don't like how the visual and marketing focus is put on the grille. Too much chrome and accenting around it. It looks better if it blends in.

(But I do like the RC-F overall).

The Audi way, I guess, but one step further.

It will be interesting to see where the spindle grille strategy will get Lexus, in a few years.

Time will certainly tell the tale and if the new corporate front end proves a sales success, well more power to them. You like it, I hate it. As I said styling is subjective.

I just think must people in the market for luxury cars like a Lexus would rather have attractive, but conservative styling. Audi for example; their cars are sometimes beautiful, always attractive and always non-offensive. I can't think of a single Audi in recent decades about which I could say "that's not a good looking car".
