    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Boy, am I glad the Koreans didn't hire the Japanese to design the Telluride

I have been to two Lexus focus groups (one for LS400 and one for LC400 years before they were released). Both times I expressed how awful the grilles are on Lexus vehicles and that it was a MAJOR barrier for purchase for me. I gave them the Acura "beak" grille analogy and at least Acura FINALLY gave in to customer feedback and put a more normal/stylish grille on their vehicles. I haven't been called back for any more Lexus groups … I guess they only want to get positive reinforcement from "customers"
 
I’m not sure what Lexus calls that grille but it looks bad on all models

For some reason, it is called the spindle grille … agreed, it looks horrible and is WAY to large.

That’s wrong...Didn't you learn to not judge a book by its cover! Is the interior hideous too?







Yup, seemingly so, my apologies...

Shirley, you can't be serious.
If you are asking me, yes I am serious. But, don’t call me Shirley. ;)

The upper lights are both very narrow. There are the other vertical lights below those and a large grill. The main difference is the Palisade has somewhat of a break in the lines of the grille where the Lexus IS one continuous grille. They are obviously different but very similar styles.

I find Palisade design much better than the Lexus.
