    If that was my parking spot, I'd be driving a Vespa. Props to you for squeezing that thing in there day after day.

    Good thing she's only 75" wide...couldn't imagine having some of these SUVs that are up to 79". I put her off to one side so my door doesn't hit that pole. I have the back cam but nope- don't use it, doesn't feel right, too used to doing it the old way:)

    I think most new cars are getting way to over styled. Also, each company is making all the cars look the same. This all started with the Audi waterfall grill in 2004.

    The new civic is awful. The Camry is over designed. Even the tundra has all kinds of fake design only additions.

    Look at new cars tail pipes. Half are not real. The first IS-F had 4 fake exhaust ports in the back.

    Design is cheaper than engineering.

    If you want a real answer OP. Lol.

    Heres my .02.
    A car enthusiast might tell you that both Toyota and Lexus have been struggling to say the least in the style department up until their most recent generations. Blamed for bland uninspiring design. Even the Last generation of Lexus and F brands were blamed for being too plain Jane-even for the typical Bob of every day American office life. Why pay a premium for a car that doesnt stand out from the crowd?

    So what did Lexus do? With out departing from their "unique" front grill design they just literally doubled the area and removed some of the bumper valances, plus added some unique grill pattern. Thats bold design right guys? Ya cant depart too much from the past or else too many Bob's will jump ship to the comeptition.

    Nothing worthy
    Stunning car in and out, very clean and sleek but looking at it in person, it is definitely a very feminine car. Soft, smooth lines with very little aggression. I could see rich wives being the main owners of these.
    On the other hand THIS is a LEXUS
    It will always be my #1 favorite car of all time...

    Wake me up when they make the lfa the same price as a gtr. That’s why the damn thing flopped.
