Wow, that's a puzzling decision. The people I talk to seem to always cite the profile as the part of the E60 they don't like. This really looks like our cars from the side.

Lexus makes great cars but their originality sucks the big one. I remember the last GS copied the front 4 roundish headlights of the E Class Mercedes and now this. Even when the first LS came out, the grill was a mock up of Mercedes, IMO.
I suppose imitation is the greatest form of flattery but I think it's ridiculous in this case. I think the worse offender is the Chrysler Bently-wannabe-300.
K, I'll stop venting now..
