The Lexus fan bois are all excited about the 2026 Lexus LX facelift. IMHO, they should have left the rear end alone. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
so tired of watching everyone chase the lastest design gimmick. which manufactures are the real innovators? Lucid?
I'm not sure if any particular manufacture started it, can anyone attest if frameless mirrors are useful and welcomed? Don't worry we can skip the debate about the camera mirrors this time around. Per Zeekr The sleek frameless front mirrors feature electric folding and position memory functions. Image Unavailable, Please Login picture source: https://www.zeekrglobal.com/vehicles/model-x
Do you mean the Blind Spot Monitor Warning feature? If so, IMHO, that feature is right there at the top with Backup Cameras.
The exterior is still hideous, but the interior was a nice update. I hate the SatNav screens that stick out of the top of the dash like an afterthought. All the best, Andrew.
No, the slightly smaller frame around the mirror and bigger mirror itself. Mostly found on premium vehicles so most will have the Blind Spot monitoring. Apparently the Ford GT90 was the first concept with this tech according to wikipedia? Couldn't find a good picture of it being used though.

Former MB Chief Designer Bruno Sacco passed away several days ago. This older video talks about his huge influence on MB Design. FAREWELL TO BRUNO SACCO Bruno Sacco passed away on 28 September at the age of 90. The designer made the history of Mercedes-Benz, for which he was head of styling from 1975 to 1999, tracing the lines of many of the star’s most significant cars. Born on 12 November 1933 in Udine, Italy, Sacco always obeyed one principle: “I am a Mercedes-Benz designer not because I think “l’art pour l’art” should be my motto, but because I want the cars I am responsible for to sell successfully,” he said. Sacco came to Mercedes-Benz, after his first experiences in Turin at Ghia and Pininfarina, through Karl Wilfert, whom he got to know in Turin. Wilfert, then in charge of body development, sent him to the Sindelfingen plant at the end of 1957 and hired the young designer shortly afterwards. On 13 January 1958 Sacco started work at Daimler-Benz in Sindelfingen as second designer, following Paul Bracq, who had been hired as first designer in 1957. During his time at Daimler-Benz, Bruno Sacco worked hard on the SL and the W 198 and R 129 series had a particularly formative influence on him. His most important works include the G-Class from 1979 to the present day, the 190, of which 1.9 million have been produced since 1982, the A-Class from 1997, with which Mercedes-Benz entered the smaller segments (1.1 million units sold), the SLK, CLK, the various generations of the S-Class and the E-Class 210 series, as well as countless experimental prototypes and research models that the public has never seen.
It will be published on www.driventoread.com I believe. They didn't tell me yet, but I'll post it when it surfaces. Thanks for asking.
