Change My Mind

Not so sure about the seemingly easily scuffed plastic on the backs of the front seats though.

I’m not a Lexus fan (or Guy huehuehue that’s you) but I dig it. Small trunk and scratched seat backs be damned.

They’re not minilites or dunlops or lotus wobblywebs.

Small trunk was a product of the hybrid. Pretty sure that’s fixed in the TT V6. You also get another 50 hp.

The wheels are awesome. The door panels with the Executive package are pretty weird. The goofy trim around the door handles reminds me of glass block windows from 1950's houses.

I’m putting blow off valves and a snap/crackle/pop tune on my $125,000 Lexus.

Odd proportions, semi-directional wheels, Frankenstein pods on the dash, nope.

Profile reminds me of a Model S with an extra dose of normcore.

I thought it was the new Altima. Enough said. Overstyled to the point of being totally Boughetto.

Lexus designs are making me sadder every day...

Those wheels are the ones you settle on at Tire Rack because all the Borbet and TSW offerings are $279 each, while these are $119. Replicas of American Racing wheels? What could go wrong?

I couldn’t get past the part where he adjusts for inflation, noting the car has gotten a lot better over the years.

Yes, but cars have also gotten cheaper relative to their content, so in a way it’s like telling you about my 1993 Gateway 486 computer, which was just $2,300, or about. $5,000 today. Irrelevant.

Man, this thing is too fugly to compete over the $60k class. Shocking that it’s twice that.

Plastic on the seat backs is practical if you’re kid hauling. So that’s good, as for the wheels, I’ve seen better and worse. They look similar to the GM split 5 spokes on the CTS and ATS V, and on some other performance variant GM sedans. So that’s not a bad thing.
