Looks really big and fat, Bentley gone wild is what I think of. I kind of like it, but wouldn't want to own one.

You guys must have never seen the spindle grille in person, eh? I think the spindle grille is awesome. And lulz at the dude who said it's overdone. Lexus is doing it to all their cars now. Get used to it.

Just searched up "spindle" and this is what I got:


So can someone explain to me why we're calling it a "spindle grille"?

Probably cuz its easier to call it that than the angled hour glass grille lol


And I find the grille more bare-able if there was a dividing bumper to separate the upper and lower grille like the LS line up.
