Oh dear. It looks like that Mazda SUV thing (CX5?) with some unnecessary excrescences. Lexus has never done pretty, or even passable really. The original LS imitated the poise of its S-class contemporary, but the GS, IS and especially RX have all been munters.
Infiniti - scarcely relevant in the UK, of course - does no better. The M35H featured in this weekend's Guardian is an awful mess of curves and bulges.
Perhaps the Germans are to blame. MB and, to a lesser extent, BMW, have been doing their best to lose the styling plot in the last ten years, leaving Lexus with nothing to imitate.
