I’ve owned an ES330 and ES350; a 2005 and 2015 respectively. Loved them both but the ES350 headlights were so horrible/dull that I felt unsafe and recently traded it in. I ended up with a Subaru Legacy Touring XT (beautiful but HATE the car…don’t get me started! Won’t be keeping this; got it in August 2021).
The reason I left Lexus is:
I was sad when they made the Lexus grill macho/Darth Vader/mean/plain old ugly and unappealing. I could NEVER drive one a vehicle with that grill. It’s not a good look, nothing stylish about it, and I’m shocked they don’t offer a toned down and more appealing grill. I spoke with a very young salesman at my local Lexus dealership on Sunday and asked when they’re going to go back to the old nice looking grill. “People love this grill…” and when I informed the young guy that “no, we really don’t; too masculine/macho/overdone” he said “mmmm, never heard of that before…we sell a lot of them.” I responded that they could be selling more. You’d think he would know! Lexus was my dream car; it floated on the highway, was beautiful, clean, a joy to drive….I SOOOO miss it but just can’t go back to what was once a gorgeous car but now unappealing and just plain ugly with an exaggerated dark grill.
RX 350 since 2016 is an ugly suv
