Default 2021 Lexus Teases Bold New Concept Car To Preview Brand Vision

Lexus will start writing the next chapter in its 32-year history when it unveils a mysterious concept car in spring 2021. It hasn't revealed the design study's name yet, but it explained the model will show what's coming.

Reinventing its design language?
it can only get better from where we’re at now, right?

Looks good so far.
All they need to do is remove the Predator grill and that alone will improve styling dramatically.

ah cue the negativity already.

you know, people look at my lc500 and think it's one of the most awesome stunning designs they ever seen. one car guy i know was shocked how it looks great from ALL angles.
oh yeah, including the grill.

i'm certainly not a fan of all incarnations of said spindle though, like on the rx, gx, lx in particular.

From the picture of the grille being teased, it looks like an SUV, which makes sense with Lexus's current direction lol. So it'll fall in that category.

The LC and grille blend together perfectly, other Lexus models not so much. Some are downright hideous.

Exactly. It’s one thing for a sporty coupe to look fierce and brooding. When the entire lineup including front wheel drive CUVs have that same look, it’s just wrong. In my opinion.

This is too much grille, even in the glamour Lexus shot it looks gaudy.
