Upon a second and more thorough glance, I see a lot of Lexus copying in this new QX... that's not great for it either bc Lexus is a superior brand.

Am I crazy or does that look a bit like a Lexus??

Love the fact that the rear wiper is hidden. I hate exposed rear wipers

I got major LS vibes when I first saw the interior.

Particularly those sweeping/curvy lines that transition form the main nav screen to the passenger dash area.

It looks like a larger LX600. Not in a good way. I just see a LOT of Lexus in that thing.

It has the bling, I guess.

But not in a good way, IMO.

I want to like it but I'm not there yet, trying... Lol

Interesting redo. Overall, I like it a lot. It has the right amount of bling, yet looks modern. The boxy shape is appreciated.
But yes, I immediately thought of the Lexus LS for the dash and the TX for the taillights. Then there's the BMW speedometer. Not really a big deal.
Also want to point out the front end somehow manages to have an under AND overbite at the same time! Didn't think that was possible!

I guess he didn't "zonk" it like he does with 99.99% of the SUVs he does with.

Nobody else has an opinion? Y'all think that looks a bit like a Lexus, just in general?

I think it's stealing more from Euro styling than Lexus.

Maybe a little. Makes sense that they would copy Lexus.

I had one of the previous models for a week a couple months ago in FL and I liked it, but it was ancient and the V8 was a real dog. This looks superior in every way.

Doesn't look to bad honestly, sorta blends the nice parts of many cars. The wing lights on the sides are a bit excessive

I like it. Blends the outgoing QX80 with the new QX60.

Some of that seems borrowed from the Lexus LS500.
