The added body work that says to me bigger is better doesn't bring much appeal to my eyes either.

I normally don't criticize and I love aggressive design, but this was a black-eye for lexus

The one that Hoovey posted was worthy.

I agree that the sporty exposure is great for lexus, but even Officer Riggs (Lethal Weapon) with his dually would not approve

It's hideous! I don't care if it's art or a car I would drive, it's still hideous....I saw it when they came up with it, way to ruin a beautiful car

I'm guessing autocorrect is to blame, the mandated "vision" was for the wheel flares to "standout" not "stickout"!
