Look, I have a soft spot in my heart for Lexus. I’ve owned one — I think they make great cars of exceptional quality. But we need to have a talk about this refreshed GS that was just unveiled at Pebble Beach.
I can’t even with the headlights on this Lexus
This headlight. This... headlight.
Lexus has been doubling down on its aggressively angry front fascias for the better part of a decade now — it’s part of the company’s “L-finesse” design language — but this is seriously next level. It’s as if the designer got upset at the arbitrary rules imposed by three-dimensional space, recursively designing in chromed nonsense in the hope that something would poke through to a new Lexus Dimension where objects are defined in the Luxury, Technology, and Pursuit of Perfection axes.
If I take any comfort in this GS, it’s in the knowledge that this headlight could be a turning point, because I don’t know how you refresh it again to make it any more insane. It’s just tapped out. The only option left is to reboot.
Please, Lexus. Reboot, before you open a hole to the Lexus Dimension that you can’t close.
