For real. We’re now what, four model years into the G80/82 and I still think it looks like a Lexus from the rear.

The tail light design looks like a Lexus for sure! And just the overall sharp angles everywhere and the ginormous grills lol

I am sure I’ll end up liking it in time, but the black diffuser is just killing me. Connect it and don’t make it stick out so far.
For my thoughts read above.

I think the shape is actually fine. My problem is more on the glossy finish. Not sure how carbon fiber look like but I really feel they should paint them in black matte gun metal. The glossy black plastic feels so cheap.
