yes, this new gold is a lot more refreshing. even the champagne gold on the ls460 an es350 were quite horrible

lots of our test cars ended up being champaign color since we always had them in stock... luckily, now Europe has a lot more to say these days, so that color is not even offered on most (if any) models anymore and we get some cool ones like bronze and brown.

i am not a fan of that gold at all, but to lexus credit, after all these years, people now simply say "lexus gold" as reference to that kind of gold color

I'm liking those slats on the front of that grill. Much better in my opinion than the honey comb ones. Also as a bonus for the detailer it'll be easier to clean. Wipe & go. Nice.

I still think this is one of the better spindle grills for sure. Ahh, the things you do for your loved ones!!!
