OK I've warmed up to the wild look. I now think it can be good for Lexus to take such a bold step to lure more younger buyers to the brand at the entry level. Hopefully most of the lines will translate well into production.

It is a concept people, calm down.
The point of the concept is to get a market reaction.
I for one welcome this design, they want to attract a younger Lexus buyer to become repeat brand loyalists. This means Lexus is embracing change and embracing the future. I've been happy with all of the concepts we've seen so far, the LF-GH/CT/CC/LC/NX. Lexus is hot and getting hotter.

I agree.
I absolutely LOVE it and hope they don't change it one bit.
Here we were *****ing and complaining lexus was blandville.
They finally come out with a radical design and people still ***** and moan
thank goodness audi and bmw are the bland mobile.
At least mercedes still have decent designs.

Yes it's overdone.
Yes it's a bit ugly from some angles.
Yes it's really bold and in your face.
But overall, I LOVE it. Why? Because it's a CONCEPT that's meant to grab attention, and Lexus nailed the point of a CONCEPT. Yes it looks a bit like an overdone Hyundai with all the creases, but the BIG difference is that this is a concept, while Hyundai's monstrosities are production vehicles.
This will be toned down big-time for the production model, which should still look aggressive yet also have the trademark Lexus elegance and subtlety in the design.

...except for that last Mercedes statement.

The rear hatch opening appears to be very small with a high lift over. No wiper shown. What's with the razor thin rear view mirrors? The interior is a joke, just another designer's bad dream.
It looks like a transformer, where's the button you push to smooth out those creases? Body shops must be cringing.
I can't wait for the real thing.
