Only the first picture has *anything* to do with Lexus, I am left struggling to identify anything remotely Lexus in the last two. As for the first one, the only thing that says Lexus to me is the plastic engine cover that actually says Lexus (otherwise that plastic bit looks like the front-end of the new Ford pickup.) So, Lexus thinks that I will admire their design . . . of a piece of plastic that covers their engine. The engine that already has a cover, that nobody opens. (Anybody with a need to open the hood, such as myself, finds the cover a ridiculous nuisance that is not only in the way of the engine, but in poor taste. Almost universally engine covers feature fuax intake runners that look nothing like the actual ones. Sometimes even to the point that they attempt to make it look like the engine is turned 90° in the engine bay, this of course is silly as the engine belts and crank would then be coming out the side of the block, and so fools no-one.)
