You've seen the new styling direction Lexus is going with lately, and it's very controversial to say the least. That front spindle grille somewhat resembles Darth Vader's helmet and swoosh-like styling is evident throughout the cars. But perhaps there's no better example of this daring styling than the automaker's latest concept, the LF-NX crossover. Lexus executives like to brag how designers were given free reign to explore their creative side with this car, but perhaps, and we don't think we're alone here, they went a bit too far.
Don't get us wrong, we're thrilled that Lexus doesn't want to be seen as a conservatively-styled overpriced Toyota brand anymore. However, it shouldn't go too far with the whacked out styling and end up alienating the all-important youth demographic. Only time will tell if Lexus's styling gamble will pay off.
