That is what
a person with little knowledge would say when he sees the Lexus NX parked
outside the supermarket. It’s obvious, that Lexus wants to appeal to younger
customers. Unfortunately, they are failing miserably. Their new cars aimed at
younger customers are hideous. Take the Lexus NX as shown above. It
is ugly. For some reason, Lexus has decided to make a box with some triangles
on it. This completely ruined a CUV that would have been a brilliant car.

Fortunately,
the NX may not be brilliant due to its lack of looks, but its quality has
helped spike sales. The new 235 horsepower turbo charged 4 cylinder engine has
a fair 25 combined mpg. It is much better than that 204 horsepower 6 cylinder
engine with a woeful 24 combined mpg found in the IS250.

Unfortunately,
Lexus is still building cars that look like they crashed into a dimension that
only has triangles that stick to cars and cannot come off.

Take the 2011
Lexus RX as shown above. It is a brilliant car. It is reliable, clever, good
quality, practical, but only okay looking. It rides well and is perfect for the
person who wants a luxury car that is good for the family.

(The New One) |
Now take the
recently revealed 2016 Lexus RX shown above. The designer must have been lazy.
That’s because they made the front end look like a stretched out RCF and the
rear end look like a Toyota Wish.
Long story
short, Lexus needs to go back to their old ways and do what they do best. Make cars
with excellent quality and modest design for mid age people, just like
the third generation Lexus RX.
