I agree with most of the board that I will stick with the old design..dont like the front and it look wider.

It must be Lexus-like because it's ugly?


i used to have a lexus 8 - 10 years ago... it's a really nice car... the ride is smooth and quiet... and interior is really comfortable and high quality... it's a really good quality car... on the other hand, the exterior is not ugly and it's not pretty.... plain design like any other jap cars e.g. camry.. also, there has been zero head turning on the street and zero driving excitement ... it's like driving an invisible MB....

i think lexus is more for people who like to have a good quality and reliable car with high end prices as their daily driver for 5 - 7 years and are not so much into driving excitement and try to be low profile and not attracting any attention....
