Re: Boxste' size
I see them often in person and even with the weird angular geometry and everything I am smitten with them.
That said my next modern sports car is probably going to be a LC500. Those. Things. Are. STUNNING.
996 is gonna be taking up my son's garage space - it's literally in my will he is not allowed to sell it

I hate the grille design - but that's true of damn near every Lexus. The whole whale/manta ray-mouth ("we ran out of design ideas, so let's just use an enormous, oddly-shaped grille on every car from now on") look just doesn't do it for me - but AGL, the rest of the car is easy on the eyes.

Re: Boxste' size
A few years back I was considering the Lexus small SUV. That is until I realized it had the squared off full coverage front grill. I find it hideous and incomprehensible! Sorry Doc.
This is what it reminds me of:

Re: Boxste' size
Me too, however, I would argue that the LC is the first Lexus that seems to have taken the grille into consideration with the rest of the design vs the rest of the Lexus lineup which is, essentially, "The car used to look like that and now it looks like this, see, we put the thing on it." That absolutely killed Acura IMO with the beak and I am actually a bit astounded that seemingly quality and reputation alone saved Lexus from the predator mouth.
I feel like the LC is one of those cars where in pictures it's like - oh, sure, fine. But in person it turns my head every single time in every single color. I think it has remarkable road presence.
