Pretty sweet looking, but grill looks pretty angry!

I love the back. I don't know why it reminds me the Fisker Karma since it doesn't really
look like it, but perhaps there is small hint in there. The front definitely looks angry. I'm not
too fond of it. I'm slightly disappointed since the old 850i used to be one of my old time
dream cars.

The BMW 8 is a beautiful car,...the front end is vastly preferable to the Lexus IMHO and shows metal and attitude with the front end and grill...that will look stunning taking curves at speed!

IMO if you never had to see the grill on a Lexus or Toyota's they would be nice looking vehicles.

Is that Lexus the new LFA? I saw one on the road the other day. Looked pretty nice.
