Originally from the "good looking modern cars :?: " and the :?: is the important bit.

Inspired by Steve's comment on the "I-Spy a 23 Reg" thread.

Hints that its all a matter of opinion. Well I have found at least one person, the author of the article, who claims
"Lexus just dropped the best color combination possible (fight me) on the best-looking Lexus of all time. The only caveat? They're only making 100. "

Do you agree? I've put it in the spoiler in case anyone is of a sensitive disposition. Once seen it can't be unseen :-D
Spoiler: show
For those interested the colour is Nori Green Pearl (Nori is dried algae) and it has a Tan Interior

Not that there aren't any in this area, just me forgetting to look.
Off out now and will try to remember.

I'm sorry to say that Lexus looks utterly horrid and in a hideous colour...

Not even painting it bright yellow or orange would make it acceptable in polite company...

My apologies if I've caused grave offence but that thing is truly revolting in my eye...

A TR7 variant. I can't recall what it was going to be called now.

I last saw it featured in a YT video lamenting promising BL prototypes that never made it because the company had no money...

At the time it got a quite warm reception..
