Some people like the heavy, classy look of Lexuses (Lexi?) - and others find them incredibly dull..
If they tone it down a bit it wouldn't be so bad. I don't mind it. Even the new grill is interesting, without being retarded like Acura's attempt.
That little crease in the rear doors are pretty obnoxious though.

I like it, its a step up from being boring for lexus and they now have their own signature grill. I remember everyone making fun of Audi when it first came out with the huge grill but now its sexy especially on the S models.
All they need now is a balling coupe...something to compete with the 6series and CL.

Unique how the headlights and the LEDs gives the illusion of one-piece in some angles.

Lexus is known for innovative design and other manufactures will usually follow them.
Look at Altezza(Lexus IS) taillights, LS/ISF Exhaust, etc...everyone is following them.   | |

I like the LED DRL and interior but something about that face.
And even I own a car with an "interesting" face.

also look at the front grill...you can see the top and bottom are integrated.
you can still see the line in the grill...it's actually top and bottom connected together.

I like it, + the way they designed that the 2 piece head light and drl, I thought it was 1 piece when I first saw it. It's one of those cars where theres a lot of effort in the little design touches that takes a while to take all of it in and discover. Unlike those who just use sharp angles and designed the car with a ruler.

I don't mind the hourglass but everything around it looks a bit wack. I don't like how the rear lights look droopy. I guess that want to stand out from the A4 and 3 series but damn...

Also, it's LFA "inspired" lol
