I know many Lexus owners are very proud of what they are driving, but sometimes that pride make them very very stupid.
If you don't see something wrong with basically the EXACT symbol but in reverse, you must not be of age.

Companies spend BILLIONS of dollars creating image that is easily recognizable and stands out. B/C the avg consumer just looks for the sign/symbol and buys whatever product they sell.

This has NOTHING to do with Lexus pride and you think they are stupid b/c of pride. Where did that come from?

Agreed, that's pretty lame. Atleast try to be creative and original with the logo.

I find it funny that the car has a Vision sign on the rear when they blatantly ripped this one off of Lexus...

Damn that car has more lights than Las Vegas strip. Seriously, look how many headlight + tailight. I guess they need all that for all the smogs in China.
