Lexus LF-Gh: D.O.A. - By Design - Automobile Magazine
Inept in its surfacing and clumsy in its styling.

Two quite different concept cars caught my interest at the New York auto show in April. I thought both of them were surpassingly unattractive, but for completely opposing reasons. One of the concept cars was the Mercedes-Benz A-class, the other the Lexus LF-Gh seen here. The over-the-top Mercedes is bejeweled and glittery enough to embarrass a rap star whose Cadillac Escalade sports LED-lit "spinners," while the Lexus is subdued and restrained but inelegant. The contrast between them lies in execution. For all its ueber-bling and wildly excessive chrome detailing on the front end, the Mercedes enjoys absolutely flawless surface development. The Lexus does not.

2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid - Drivem - Automobile Magazine
Sacrificing too much for too little in return.

For many people, the Cayenne is an assault on Porsche's brand integrity. The tall and heavy SUV would seem to be the polar opposite of the sports cars that have defined Porsche. But, alas, the Cayenne has become Porsche's bestselling vehicle.
