What's Wrong With This Picture: The L-Finesse Future Edition
According to Lexus
The LF-Gh, which stands for Lexus Future Grand Touring Hybrid, sets out to redefine the premium grand touring sedan. Through this exercise, the definition of L-Finesse, the marque’s design philosophy since 2001, has been refined and evolved to include a bolder, more distinct projection of what a luxury car could become in a modern world. The result is the LF-Gh concept, which conveys original thoughts and ideas that may migrate to future Lexus vehicles on a global scale.
From these teasers, it’s hard to tell what Lexus’s “spindle grille” actually looks like, but the brand says it “hints at the new face of Lexus vehicles.” If nothing else, Lexus seems to be diverging from its arch-conservative stylistic roots, a move that will be interesting to watch given Toyota’s history of success with a substance-over-style strategy.

These photos should take the stock back down.
Virgil Exner crossed with Zagato. This is really nasty, and it won't wear well at all.
It looks like a kit car. Bleh. Give me the handsome, clean looks of their current lineup any day.
Looks like the same rattle-canned chicken wire you see on so many tacked-on body kits.
