Default New Grill

Am I the only one who finds the new grill (on the GS & LX) Hideous??? Please tell me they're not going to F-up the LS with this abomination. It looks like an Audi grill (Hideous in its own right) after it rear-ended an Explorer.

What were they thinking???

I have to admit it will take some getting used to but I think they will pull it off. Not so happy with the way it looks on the new RX though

I love the way it looks on the new RX hate the way it looks on new LX and GS but it might grow on me... So hard to please 100% of the population. My biggest complain is that all lexus vehicles will have it there should be a greater distinction between the models

I love the new Spindel Grill on all of the cars so far, Lexus tesed the LS600h (Maybe F-Sport) in a video promo.



There is a discussion going in Car Chat about it.

I think if you color match it, it could take away some of the looks and blend in a little more better. crossing fingers on the ls....
