While I appreciate the methodology and expertise and precision, the gaping hole and 1900's locomotive "cow catcher" front end is appalling, to the extent I choose to never purchase a Lexus or Toyota product.

The decimation of the iconic BMW kidney grille is equally shameful. The two timeless design elements were the kidney grilles and the round headlamps. Both timeless elements have fallen to the modern trends that are found on the majority of other marques, which is the antithesis of developing and retaining a historical and identifiable design element separated from the masses.
