For BMW it's definitely new. For Lexus, they have been doing this for years now. That's why it reminds me of it.
That's a fair point. The design as it stands is relatively new, as we've seen on the new 8 and X4.

As I've stated, if it reminds you of a Lexus design, it's no water off my back. I thought the E90 when it first debuted oddly resembled a Nissan Primera, heck I knew someone that thought the Porsche Carrera GT looked like an Alfa Romeo somehow. People will see things differently, and it's all equally parts frustrating and fascinating at the same time.

All things considered though, it is pretty cool that automotive design is something that still fascinates people as much as it evidently is.
