Honestly, does anyone like these grilles?

I like them. I think it does something different and actually suits the design of the vehicles quite well (minus the LX and GX).

Holy shit, it’s almost like taste is subjective!

I like them! Im not much of a Lexus person though. But I think Predator face looks good.

1. You can’t say, “Nice Accord, brah.” or “Looks exactly like insert German series.”

2. It’s grabs your attention.

3. It sells quite well.

4. It is not boring.

5. You know exactly what it is when you see it.

I just don’t like the headlight design and the separated LED running light “nike swoop”.

All valid points. Especially number three, which is all that really matters.

yea.

Though I do think the IS pulls it off the best.

Don't you think it's just a little....obnoxious? Or tacky? Wouldn't you really rather see things exactly as I do?

Well I'm just shocked that you would admit that in public.

I can’t. It’s not even original. Someone did it decades ago:

Not really. I mean, if you want obnoxious or tacky, I find the little lights that shine directly underneath people’s doors to be a little stupid.

And not a chance.

I’ve tried to think of an aesthetic justification for them and can’t. But at least they’re distinctive. For now.

Meeee! And a while bunch of people. They are rad! All brands have big grillesi tseems like, but on a Lexus it’s unique and edgy. I’m glad they did an actual change in design instead of updating a previous look.

Oh yusss. The competition all kind of blends it. This stands out and is a huge middle finger to the cars in its class. Gets my vote! Not classy like an XC60.... but fun and crazy. That’s awesome also

I think the new models look great. There was a phase where legacy models got the spindle grille as a midcycle refresh and those models looked pretty awkward.

I like it. I think they look good.

Peugeot was bad. Audi was worse. But this ... I have no words. Was the designer blind?

If that's a nice way of saying that it looks ugly on most vehicles, I agree completely.

That’s definitely not what I said. I think it looks the best on the IS, GS, LC future car, and the new RX. I don’t think it looks ugly on the other ones. They just don’t wear it as well as those above.

If they keep reasonable proportions between the pinchy bit and the bottom non-pinchy bit. The new LC thing looks absolutely brilliant, but the new SUV whose meaningless name I can’t remember is horrible.

Styling is subjective. YOU don’t like it, and that’s fine. But YOUR opinion is just that. An opinion. Saying YOU think the L-Finesse grills on Lexus vehicles are ugly does not make that a fact for everyone else. Go troll somewhere else.

All the F-Sports pull it off REALLY well in my opinion. It gives it quite a presence on the road but the SUVs that they slapped it on instead of designing it so it compliments the entire car (like the new RX) is just weird.

It’s trying something new and it’s something to respect and if you don’t like it, to each their own.

I think it looks great on everything except the LX and GX. Especially looks astounding on the GS-F.

I don’t think the overall hourglass shape is bad, BUT I think it’s very poorly executed to the point of being obnoxious. I would say I hate the Nike-swoosh headlight detail more. It just forces the rest of the styling around it to be incredibly awkward. One car where I like the Predatormouth grill just a little is the new LC-500, although even there it detracts from the rest of the car.

This grille style looks better on a cyclone fence or air conditioner condenser or backside of a refrigerator and not a Lexus grille, not because they are more attractive things than the Lexus, but rather that the Lexus makes it look like goatse.

everybody says they look like the predator, but once I say “koala bear” you can’t unsee it.

Terrible on the SUVs too high and attention grabbing. Not bad on the GS and LS trim packages that have the bars to break it up.

generally getting tired of the merged black grill that everyone is following since Audi did it

Unique and ugly aren’t the same thing. You can have one without the other.

The Lexus grill is both unique and ugly.

The new Cadillacs are fairly unique without being ugly.

Hate them. What’s more, I feel like those who don’t have simply fallen for the trick , and/or gotten used to being surrounded by ugliness.

I actually do like this grille. They are unique and, out of all the unnecessarily huge grilles on the road today, this one is well executed. But I just can’t get behind the weird Nike swooshes underneath the headlights and I think that every Lexus in the lineup would look better without them.
