Well.........that tells you some about much (not all) of today's auto industry. It's about as attractive as watching paint dry.

That's one reason why I don't make the same number of posts (or reviews) as I once did.

They will do anything but build a damn flagship sedan 😭

What the hell is this!

Doesn't even look remotely close to a coupe, let alone a "coupe crossover" it's just a generic EV crossover shape we've been seeing for the past 3-4 years now.

The Lexus LS Is Back… as a Six-Wheeled Van That Makes No Sense But Looks Wild

Yes this is real. I don't understand Lexus anymore.

Pumpkin face trend isn't going to be one I warm up to. But I guess we can expect the word L E X U S to now be written out on the front of future models.

I'm assuming they're testing out different directions that the LS can go in and are gathering feedback about the ideas.

I do wonder this whole mobility showcase eerily reminds of what Toyota has done in the past, where they have an idea, partner to showcase a couple of test products, sell it as a proof of concept to the higher ups, and decade later here you go. Specifically the lineage of the 4runner. Flatbed conversions with winnebago, to hilux surfer to 4runner.

mark my words in a decade the LS will mean EVOTL
