Lexus don't get it this is not a generation that cares much about details but this is not the problem. You can't design and perfect individual part of the overal design individually, you can't have for a example the spindle grill that looks super spectacular in details and appearance while the rest entire design design look okay. What the point of being proud of having beautifull detailing when the entire design lacks appeal overal
Sorry, you don't get it, luxury buyers appreciate attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Sorry, but this website is for people who are Lexus enthusiasts. I have seen you on several posts just commenting stuff like this (with incoherent and grammatically incorrect sentences may I add - makes it very hard to read). Lexus cars are beautiful, and I, as a buyer, appreciate their attention to detail. It's what makes Lexus so great since other brands like BMW are all about just producing a product and many of them (that's why they have so many useless models like the X4, X2, and X6).Lexus don't get it this is not a generation that cares much about details but this is not the problem.

For anybody that questions whether or not Lexus is interested in details or art
Even though I had abandoned discussing the design and development history months for several reasons, seeing this, I cannot help but wonder if I should revisit it? Especially because of the sheer detail from it all and one-on-one information, not being inhibited by language barrier for the interviewee.

I really dislike this Spindle grille and sincerely wish Lexus would review their apparent attraction to it. The first spindles were not too bad and served the purpose of creating an identity but Lexus have chosen to just make them larger and more predominant than they ever needed to be.
I always enjoy your posts, a bit like hearing from a Lexus historian in the flesh. Go for it :fist:
I also enjoyed your posts and learned a lot from them. I also say Go For it!
Please do ...
:thumbsup:Can't set a timetable yet, but I really have struggled with time on compiling all of the information I had into one well-sumarized post. Contradictory timelines from various sources and misinterpretation of context have made it more daunting. All in the midst of life of course and so many obligations lol.
To be honest, my LS flagship writing focus really intimated me on getting things done and obsession to have plenty of text, not just photos. My best information is all LS and that has 5 generations of text and photos. The 1LS is the holy grail, the new generation is just too all over the place in development info to just write up so quickly, without having everything answered (more research is needed).
I might start a poll on which model & generation of Lexus I should start with. I originally thought about hiring someone to do all this, but I really trust writing myself, as no one has time to hear me dictate what I want typed up and written here. Plus that idea is a little too overboard and less original.
-ES 250 has very limited info (but I have the story/timeline behind it). 2ES and 3ES has little to no info, until 4th generation development from 1997 to 2001. Nothing for 5ES and 6ES. There is only a mockup phto for 2ES from 1991 Camry program. I will definitely report about 7ES by end of 2018/early 2019.
-1GS is limited info, mostly Giugaro based from 1988 and not much else. 2GS, 3GS, and 4GS have full dev. info from 1993 to 2015 (includes facelift 4GS).
-LX and GX are virtually nonexistent in terms of photography (backstory), because of marketing sensitivity to Land Cruiser connection at Lexus USA and lack of JDM presence.
-I have 100% all LS generations, on history of development from 1983 to 2017.
-Both SC and LC generations developed since 1986.
-LFA Story has been told many times, so I won't really touch that. (Undecided)
-1IS generation is limited info (80% Altezza-based) from 1994 to 2000, 2IS and 3IS are 90-100% (2001-2013).
-All RX generation programs from 1993 to 2015.
-NX story as well from June 2009 to 2014.
-CT development as well
