Mercedes is selling a lot of the light-up 3-pointed-star grilles, so of course BMW (and probably Audi) need to keep up.

Once again, I'm hoping Lexus won't go with the germans... This is almost as tacky as the 1st Fast and Furious cars with neon light... Very cool back then, but it happily has gone away...

Do it the Lexus way.

Didn't Toyota come out and say something about how the corners of the car are the new grill, since that's where they'll have to hide a lot of the sensor arrays? Could still provide some cooling, but i imagine they will operate in an ornamental manner? Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Maybe they will have better chemical composition?
