2019 Lexus LM - Luxury MPV based on the Toyota Alphard

Bentley treated the world to an SUV that many thought ugly. That design did not offend me, but this Lexus does. Ugly in every dimension!

Perhaps not on the inside, which has received some praise earlier in the thread, but I had no inspiration to look.

It has a "Thanos" like look with the high front fascia.

The split grill rendering looks good but harmful for the pedestrians in case of a crash. And not to mention cost of producing and assembling a single grill is significantly lower than cost of producing and assembling a split grill.

The long grill is understood from design perspective, as well as, pedestrian protection perspective. I am not sure where I stand on the front grill. I get the necessity for this design. But not sure if I like it.
