It has to be a joke for publicity. Just like the velcro seats commercial with the RCF

if lexus wants to be taken seriously, they cannot release comedic versions of their vehicles like this one at major auto shows. this debuted at the LA auto show and it is a complete embarrassment. other marques are releasing new vehicles and/or new drivetrains while lexus is a rolling advert for a hot sauce. disappointing to say the least.

This is sure making people talk about it but for all the wrong reasons, I would have rather Lexus spent there time and money in better ways than this. I get heartburn just looking at this color.

i have a feeling Lexus's intention to release this build into the public is to lower everyone's expectation, then later reveal something grand

Maybe we'll get a Lime Green Daquiri IS to wash down the hot sauce

They already did that when they released the new 2.0; I'm confused by what Lexus is trying to do. They release F models with great v8s in a time where forced induction is gaining popularity and then release stuff like this.
