New Lexus LM people carrier ... ugliest car of the decade?

[BTB 500]

I know MPVs aren't the most glamorous of things, but surely Lexus could have done better than this ...



Impressive inside though.

Hell yeah, the new Lexus LM is an ultra-posh MPV coming to the UK

SUVs are dead, long live the MPV. Well, we certainly hope so…

Maybe Lexus are after the myopically challenged Mercedes buyers who bought all the R classes! Its a small market though.

Stick your fingers down the throat and puke.

Apart from the silly grille and obvious Lexus styling cues, does it really look that much different to an Estima with a silly body kit or whatever mods they usually have!

10 YEARS OF LEXUS DESIGN: FROM SPINDLE GRILLE TO SPINDLE BODY

After 10 years as a defining style feature of every new Lexus model, the famous spindle grille is undergoing a transformation. In tune with a new era of electrified vehicles, the distinctive shape is evolving into a new “spindle body,” as seen on the upcoming new generation Lexus RX SUV and the...

Looks like a cross between a wild boar and baboons rear end.

Problem is that it's just a tarted up Toyota Alphard. Lipstick on a pig comes to mind.
