STUD OR DUD? 2020 Lexus LX Sport: Thought The Lexus Grill Couldn't Get MORE BRASH? Oh, The AUDACITY!

STUD OR DUD? 2020 Lexus LX Sport: Thought The Lexus Grill Couldn't Get MORE BRASH? Oh, The AUDACITY!
I don't know how this slipped under our radar but just when we thought the Lexus grill language could go to the next level, they spring this on all of us.

Looking back, it's probably because their press photos don't do a good job of showing the detail inside the mesh.

It's called the LX 'Sport' version and it has an even MORE garish grill.

Lexus is giving buyers of the 2020 LX 570 a new way to express their style with the introduction of the all-new Sport Package. Available on the 3-row model only, the new interior and exterior styling package enhances the LX’s traditional lines with the following updates:
* Exterior: Exclusive sport grille and front fascia, revised lower rear valence, body color side mirrors with chrome accents.
* Interior: Semi-aniline, leather-trimmed seats in Black, Cabernet, or exclusive Moonlight White, black headliner.
LX models with the Sport Package also include the Luxury package (heated/ventilated front/rear seats, four-zone climate concierge, LX projector door lamps), 21-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels, a Mark Levinson 19-speaker surround sound audio system, heated linear espresso wood steering wheel, head up display and a wireless charging pad.

So check out these photos to get the true detail and give us your impressions. Did it make it more attractive or more gauche?

And did you know one of these bad boys is over $100k these days?

It looks like a 20 year old design with a modern (and hideous) grill on it.

That's because the basic vehicle is over 20 years old with only nips and tucks to freshen it.

A bullshit fallacy you have yet to even prove. 2 decades old it is not. Stay in your lane.

The basic design was completed in 1996. It's received mild updates here and there since.

The LX is a too-narrow-for-its-height, horribly outdated trashpile.

Seems like a last tweak before something new comes along in 2022 on the new common platform that underpins just about every Toyota body on frame truck.

And that will be another mess if Toyota makes it too narrow for its height.

Love the color. Hate the grill.

Because of this pandemic, any product plans that were set in place might be slowed down beyond what was expected.

One of the lead vehicles in the Next Generation Tundra might once again slip, now into early 2022 or even mid-2022.

It's a horrible domino effect, because so many BOF utilities using "F", are gonna need to be spread out from each other.

Land Cruiser is going on hiatus in USA after 200 Series ends, but replacement is due in MY 2022. LX was being redesigned next year. GX was 2023MY, along with 4Runner. New Tacoma is over 3 years away.

That is quite the set of delays. The current gen 4Runner came out in 2010. 12 model years will be quite a long time for this model. I had thought it would be sooner considering a new 2021 Hilux is coming.
