nice find. I'm kind of partial to the design of that pillar, nice and modern, much better than the ones here in the US

That's because it's Sheikh Zayed Road, one of the most important roads in UAE.

Cool different than the one here in Atlanta that says something like "not just forward thinking forward doing".

Looks infinitely nicer without those tacky winglets. I seriously don't know what Lexus was thinking? (the aero benefits must be negligible of those winglets).

I'm from California but have worked in Saudi Arabia for 3 years. I can tell you I see more Lexus here than BMW, MB and Audi COMBINED!

There is one of these in Houston off 59. It is right over the Ferrari dealership.

I'll scope the nearby roads out and see if it's possible to safely take a picture of my LFA under it.

The winglets were original design spec. The no-winglet option was added only for aesthetics, but for some reason the winglets were then specified on the order sheet as an option rather than no-winglet as a delete.

As far as actual benefits, even built-in trunk lid spoilers impact Cd.

UAE is full of ballers and that's why they are always pushing the envelope when it comes to architecture. The only thing I didn't like was the summer heat
