Have you ever been told your car is ugly?

I was at Costco and I was going back to my car and this guy asks "Is that your car." I say "yup"
Then his wife says " That car is Ugly." It's a black 1999 LX470 what I think is beautiful. Just woundering if that has ever happened to anyone.

LOL! I think she was just joking.

I personally think LX are the most beautiful SUV in its class.

Yeah his wife looked like the monkey, JK!
She was White/Blonde
Maybe she was joking but I was heartbroken that day. I just found it a little rude but I love the LX.

I love the LX. Almost the same capabilities as the Range Rover but more dependable.

Look her in the eyes with a dead serious face and go "OMG a talking dog!" then turn to the guy and say "how much was it?"

It was just sad to hear something that horrible said about a Lexus, very sad day.
Just unbeliveable how they asked " Is that your car. Its ugly."

Didn’t catch what they were driving.

Thanks for the support. Turned my sad day into a happy one.

Glad we could help.

There are cars out there that I just love the look. This ranges from small to large cars to SUVs. I am not even talking about exotics yet. I wish I could own them all. The cars I do buy (and possibly mod), I do so for me. I fully acknowlege others can have different and possibly opposing opinions as me.

Forget random strangers. I won't dig out the references but cars that I like have been ragged on by my fellow CL buddies. Mods that I do (and plan to do) are not embraced by all either. I know it hurts a little but I don't let it get to me. As long as I like the car, that is what is most important.
