Lexus Admits Its Giant Grilles Gross Out Buyers

finally. now toyota, you're up next.

one would love to know how one gets the vice presidents phone number and how one gets a 45 minute to one hour conversation.

 

Yeah one site said they were “polarising”. Now where have I heard that decription before? Oh yeah the Prius.

Well they probably wouldn’t look as imposing in their ads and press releases if they didn’t photograph the car from hubcap level. Size matters too because that grill doesn’t look so imposing on a Lexus UX as it does on the Lexus LX especially when you’re not crawling up to it but walking up to it. Also park some of these cars next to a new Toyota Tundra, Cadillac Escalade, GMC Sierra or Ford F150 or F250. I know Lexus tried to accentuate the grill to make it look more aggressive but its got nothing on the afformentioned vehicles. Channeling the best Tim Allen, the grunts stop here.

It’s not just the size, it’s the overly aggressive shape that makes it even more obnoxious.
These grills are so damn ugly I wouldn’t buy one if it were electric

 

They are to be "toned down." Obviously. Where else could you go from here? How can you possibly tone up the grille on the LX600? You'd have to remove the headlights and fog lights to get the grille any bigger.

 

This is a fancy way of saying they now have production capacity to do two versions.

The super-aggro grills and badges apparently sell well in China and the middle east.

 

Yes, drop-kicked off the end of the driveway would be more to my liking.

God, don't say that...
