Wow. Is it fair to assume that car makers don't value functional bumpers much anymore? One light tap from parallel parking won't leave a rub mark or broken grille plastic?
I love it, EXCEPT for the axe murderer grille. For me, the grille on the new Lexuses is an exact analog of the Acura beak. I can tolerate it, but it's a distraction in a bad way. The V8 also doesn't rev high enough, but at least it's higher than the old one. (6800->7400) I suppose it gets the job done well enough without revs.
Axe murderer grille, ha ha. I often get too carried away showing displeasure over what I think is bad design (IOS7, the new NSX gash-beak and wheels), but your calling it that finally puts a feeling on exactly why I dislike grilles like this and really any Audi badge-grille copycat - looks like an open gash wound, something incomplete and in need of some continuity (and skin grafts and stitches) between the fenders. Thanks Gansan!
Rant aside, I like the power (5.0 V8? Wow), interior, profile, and lack of fake fender vent foofaroo trim. I can live with an auto here for a DD type car though even some friends back at ford auto trans agree that more than 5 speeds can at times feel like a shift hunting fest and may be more of a marketing thing (corporation p*nis size war). Even if the grille and silly pretentious exhaust tips would prevent me from ever wanting one, I love Lexus's desire and the world's continued interest in making hot cars. Can't wait to make a trip out to naias soon.
