You're probably right that no one thinks of the engine bay as a purchase reason, but that's still not an excuse. Part of owning a luxury car is attention to details. Things that you wouldn't have thought about. When you are a proud owner its those fine details you point out to your friends.Lexus fan boys to the defense! Engine bay looks like a total plastic mess! You know what looks fine? A RB26DETT, SR20DET, 2JZ-GTE, 3S-GTE VR38DETT, and excuse like it doesn't get opened so it doesn't have to look nice are total BS! Lexus should know that a premium car should feature a engine bay with neatly concealed hoses and wires and preferably have a metal valve cover and not a big piece of cheap plastic to cover up their cheapness!
If you surveyed premium car buyers on their must-have features, I wonder where the appearance of engine covers and underhood dressing would rank.
Oh right, it wouldn't.
Why don't you let that go and talk about something that buyers are going to care about?
Moving on to more productive conversations, I have a feeling the IS 200t is going to be 0-60 in somewhere around 6.2 seconds, perhaps less. Still waiting for weight, which I have not seen released.
I perfect example I like to use is the water replant/UV coated side windows which no other Luxury marque has.
Its all in the details.
