    Because once you have the prick market cornered, you have to start building vehicles that apply to their ex-wives, too. Something about a "sphere of influence"

    "Mommy, daddy's car has a nicer back seat."

    "Oh yeah?"

    If they make it as a two-door, it'll be a cool compliment to the wagon. If it's a four-door, it'll sell like roomtemperaturecakes. Stale ones.

    quote: "The idea is to take on Audi's successful A4 Avant models."

    There is a BMW 3-series 'Touring' (=station), so an A4 Avant competitor already exists. I don't get it.

    Forget the whole notion of "series."

    BMW needs to turn the entire lineup into a fast food menu so we can just order #1-#12. This is way beyond the old "Eine Wurst, Drei Groesse" thing they wanted to avoid. It's just a great big bunch of weiners at this point.

    It's kind of strange looking, but it is a concept afterall. Anything that can raise awareness - and acceptance - of small cars in the premium space is fine with me. If we could get the LF-Ch in the States - and the Mercedes B-Class down from Canada, we'd be set for a whole new take on luxurious cars. Heck, even Lincoln's Concept C would be a spectacular addition to the cause.

    Styling notwithstanding -- let's face it, this styling won't make it to production intact due to machining and the fact it's way too busy -- it will be interesting to see if/when Lexus does go after the high-end EU compact hatch segment how well they do. The compact hatch segment is generally one of the more competitive in Europe, with the high-end dominated by the German marques. Will the Japanese be able to break in?

    Wow, lots of hate but I like it...which means it will never show up in real form like this, I'm sure it will be tamed down for the masses. THAT prediction is lame, THIS car however, is beautiful in my eyes...hatch and all.

    @twnboarder: Good for you to stand up to the wind!

    For myself, the hatch is a great part of the design. I still think a compact luxury hatch is a fantastic idea. All the benefits of a luxury car with the advantages of a compact economy car.

    Lexus arrive a Francfort avec un nouveau modele deguise en concept car et le plein de nouveautes dans sa gamme. I think that translates into....do ya'll like it any better in this color?

    Personally, I think the design is over the edge for my tastes. But I really like this shade of blue.

    Current Lexus design drives me nuts. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Here's why:

    Take a look at the style lines on that front end. No two lines -- anywhere! -- line up with each other. That crease in the hood breaks off and heads in three different directions, depending on whether you look at the headlight, the inside, or the outside of the grille. The grille, then, has no visual relationship with the styling of the bumper, the outside edge of the headlight is a random character line that goes nowhere, the "brake ducts" have no relationship with the rest of the nose. It looks like a random series of lines that were slapped together, like a teenager picking unmatched body kits and slapping them haphazardly on his Neon.

    Lexus does have a design language; unfortunately that language is "gibberish".

    @z0iid: I'm closing in fast on three times that, but you're right, even a twelve-year-old can draw a more cohesive design.

    Really? You think you're going to hurt my feelings? Good luck with that.

    Hmmm... I saw something that looked like that... I ate a ton of sauerkraut, and the next day, a Lexus LF-Ch came out of my butt I guess.

    Yup, it looks like a turd.
