I am thankful the 3G Tacoma takes no styling cues from Lexus

I like it, and will be buying my wife one in a year or so.

 

What if shoe were on the other foot?

 

Dear god no.

 

To me it looks like one of those pleated covers the 18-wheelers put over their radiator in the winter.

You gotta admit it’s strange looking, but if you like it, that’s cool.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Definitely a mall runner. Starbucks too.

 

GET TO THE CHOPPA !!!!

 

It looked strange in 2014, when it came out, but I'm used to it now. My wife loves her 2016 and chose it used over a new 4runner mainly for its looks, and considering GX sales doubled after incorporating the spindle grill Lexus is not getting away from it anytime soon.

If that truck had anymore chrome, it would need ground clearance just to park at the airport.

 

Same family, just as ugly...

 

Seen a lot of vehicle fads come. Seen as many vehicle fads go. They always go. This too shall pass. It is so now, but will not be for long as the next big thing is already out there, somewhere, on some designer's drawing table, yet to be revealed until as many profit dollars can be wrung out of this fad. As soon as the vehicle gods bequeath a new fad to foist upon us the current whale shark gaping-maw grille will be so yesterday, and their used-car values will plummet and reflect the same. Get out now. Seen it too may times in the past. Worst of them all? Anything Centennial.

Do indeed like the wide rear quarter panel treatment on the Lexus LC. Wish that would catch on like the grille did.

 

That CBI bumper!

Definitely an improvement.

 

It's a build Lexus just came out with

 

They built the ‘concept’, but not using the 2020, hence not the new grille.
