I don't know what to make of the recent Lexus "predator face"
 

I'm starting to see more and more of these cars on the road, and can't decide if ugly or not. Opinions?

I also see Hitlers Mustache in that front end also.

I will say at first I didn't like it....now that I have seen more I like. Very much interested in the RC models coming out this fall....might be my next car.

Agreed. I hated them in pictures, but when models started hitting the roads with the new signature Lexus grill, it has grown on me a bit. Definitely looks better in person.

It's definitely a love it or hate it kind of thing.

For me, it is the single reason I would never buy a Lexus. I guess that shows which side I land on.

I'm pretty meh on it. I mean, I don't love it but I don't hate it as much as a lot of people do. I think for most it's very polarizing design language. It certainly makes the cars much less photogenic though, since IMO it's not as bad in real life as it is in pictures.

Its growing on me.

It does look a lot better in person. And OP choice the worst looking model IMO.

Love it or hate it, Lexus sales are up.

As a design element, it seems forced and pointless and tacky.

If it was some kind of ultra high-performance machine where engineering required a large opening to ensure enough cooling; if it was a visual manifestation of the physical reality of underlying mechanisms, I could learn to love it. As it is however, I would put it in the same category of fake hood scoops and nonfunctional brake vents that I had hoped we left back in the 90's.

Reminds me of bowtie pasta...

Well here's the full line up. I don't think it looks that bad.

Agree 100%.

I actually dig the spindle grills. They do look much better in person. Looking forward to checking out an RC in person and in the wild. The little Nike swooshes I'm less taken with however.

At first I hated it. I thought it was ugly as sin, but I've started to like it more and more to the point where if I see one now, all I think is "that is a damn nice car" (referring to the IS 350 F with the mesh grille as per the pic OP provided, and not the whole Lexus line-up). I think it's aggressive, and I think the problem with it (for me) is that all of the chrome trim doesn't fit it. I think if you blacked out all of that awful chrome trim, it would look really good and mean.

I have the same issue with the Tesla - I don't think it's a great looking car, but I've seen a few with blacked-out trim and it's amazing how much better it looks. That could just be me though, as I think chrome trim/garnish looks awful and tacky on just about any car.
