It's probably their way of saying "Stop fixing your own car you pleb!"

If you drive a Lexus, the likelihood you are "working" on your engine is about 0%. My parents have a RX and a LS...I don't think they even know how to pop the hood.

There are two owner-accessible areas here. One is the fill port for Lexus' All-In-One Super Fluid*, and the other is a dipstick for same.

* Lubricates & cools engine, washes windshield, assists in brake function

Nah I think the Lexus still wins, at least you can see the strut towers here.

I know this is a bad idea but it actually seems like a not so bad idea. If you could design a car that used washer fluid as the coolant and brake fluid and then just shut off the sprayers when it dropped below a certain level wouldn't that be an interesting way to constantly be flushing your coolant and brake fluid? Might not be the worst of all ideas for beige cars driven by people who don't maintain their cars with the exception of filling up their windshield fluid.

Ironically, the UR engine family are serious engines, with race pedigree

Wonder what the labor charges are just for inspection. An entrepreneur could do well just opening up a valet-style 'engine cover removal and installation' service next to the dealers...

That's an IKEA prop, not a real car, there's your problem.

Pull the covers off and you'll see why they covered it up, it's not a pretty engine to look at. With the covers off, you find the boxes for twin air filters with ugly ducting that also conveniently blocks the coolant fill cap, a sizable wire harness with ugly plastic piece to physically manage said wire harness, and magnesium alloy valve covers that turn black over time (supposedly). Covers on please!

Want to access the battery terminals for testing/jumping the battery? How about a handful of clips and a weather strip that likes to unhook when you want it to stay put, and won't stay still when you want to put it back.

If we're playin' the electric motor game, let me suggest this. Where's the engine? It ain't got no engine.

Sorry, I'm an asshole. I'll see myself out.

That would mean spraying oil and coolant along to side of the road...
