I won't necessarily say I HATE it. But I disliked it yesterday, I dislike it today, and I will dislike it tomorrow. Same with Audi, Mitsubushi, and the Acura parrot-beaks.

I am worried Lexus is following current trends that other manufacturers have been following. Audi starting the unique grille thing, Mitsubishi grabbed their version, Ford has their new scaffolding front, and now Lexus is trying the hourglass thing. This is dangerous business when everyone uses a extroverted grille to define a brand. It can get old, tiring, or obnoxious very fast. I much rather see Lexus keep a conservative approach and not follow what the flavor of the year is. Dangerous way of business.

To be honest I never really warmed up the spindle grill. I definitely don't like the GS and GX. I struggle with the IS; I love the car from certain angles and then from others I think the car has too much front overhang with the spindle accentuating it.
The LS, LX, ES, and RX look great to me though.

On a grand scheme I don't like the spindle grill.
Especially on the LS & ES. Just looks like an incredibly chessy afterthought..
Give me the handsome, elegant and beautiful waterfall type grill over these look at me grills any day.

i think the non f-sport spindle looks ok, but i find the f-sport spindle to be awful, tacky, ugly.

I disagree, I love the F-Sport aggressiveness. At first, when the GS came out, I felt the same way that you did too, but ever since the IS came out and I saw it in person, I've loved the F-Sport styling.

In general I think the F-Sport spindles look better, with the exception of perhaps the LS which has the contrast grey bumper trim in between. But, it has really grown on me.
For instance RX vs F Sport RC, IS vs F Sport IS, F Sport looks much better IMHO.
