Original or not, I do think that with the new LS Lexus has finally caught up to if not surpassed Audi in the grille design (I like the original LS grille too but the new LS is the gaping mouth concept done truly right). Just hopefully it'll stay that good come the refreshes of the rest of the Lexus line-up.

I'll agree that the LS is a great stride but Lexus still has a ways to before they catch up, much less pass them. Would be hard to expect them to copy Audi and pass them in the first 'spindle' year.

That is quite subjective of course (in terms of where the new LS is at). I can agree that it takes time to mature the application of the grille shape and the rest of the front that goes with it. The gaping mouth grille first appeared on the 2005 Audi A6, at which time it looked both bold and bland, if that makes any sense. Now the A6 looks simply bold and modern.

Those are Dodge Firearrow concept cars from 53 and 54.

A wild grill design does take time for some to like.
I disliked the A8 grill at first but think it's looks great now.
Might feel the same with the spindle in time.

Uhh no? How about we agree that looks are subjective and leave it as that? Since the Audi look has become sort of boring and overplayed to me while the Lexus spindle looks fresh and exciting.
