Lexus called, they want their exhaust tip back

imitation is the best form of flattery
not identical, but hey it doesnt take much to see the similarities. Maybe its more of a Audi/ VW phaeton W12, but still those lights are def Lexus

Its funny to see the rest of the world copying the Japanese. I remember when the Japanese were pretty bad about the copying design cues.
