Big Design Flaw
What is up with the wheel gap space? For a car with such an aggressive stance it has unusual large amount of wheel gap space. Why did Lexus choose to do this? Could they have not extended the quarter panels. I love the exterior of this car, but this flaw is a true eyesore. After spending over 40k I should not have to buy a body kit or lower the vehicle to eliminate this design flaw? Anyone else agree or are you happy with the wheel gap?

A "design" flaw would imply that something is functionally wrong with the car. There is nothing wrong with the car. You just happen to not like the wheel gap. No one forced you to buy the car either. Everyone will obviously have different tastes as to how they think a car should look and this is where the after-market products come into play. For MOST people, the gap is not a problem and for those who are unhappy with the "design" flaw have purchased lowering springs, larger wheels, and are anxiously awaiting body kits.

Obviously he meant the outlet is in the center console so you can't leave the phone outside and have it closed at the same time.
