Yeah, I thought the same as well when I looked at it the first time. Lexus made the L shaped LED as a brand motif and then BMW does the same. LOL

I think consumers demand interior features and car makers respond. It seems they all have some sort of rear view or 360 camera nowadays. I don’t even remember where it started to be honest. Copying exterior cues is probably just friendly rivalry. Not only are they L shaped, but seem to be 3D as well 😄

All the new midsize SUV's are starting to look the same to me. I guess the cars are too.

One thing I really liked about the Lexus RCF was its styling. It really stood out. I liked the grill. It seems like the RCF and Lexus were criticized for the big grills in the beginning, but now it seems like all the other manufacturers are making bigger grills.

I also thought the RCF had some M4 dimensions and styling when I first saw it.
