Cars that make your jaw drop.

Fisker. Let me post an evolution of the three in question.

Fisker Carma. Pitched to be all electric, attempting to launch when the Tesla did. Failed and later sold to some Chinese company who was going to put Vette engines in it.

The automotive world gave Henrik Fisker a pretty big hall pass since he penned some of the modern Aston-Martins. He's one more flop away from going into obscurity. That one might just break the camel's back.
 
I hope fisker and Lutz succeed!

So do I. Personally, I'm over Fisker. But Lutz got pushed out of GM too early, and I always wanted to see what else he had up his sleeve. His successor at GM, Mark Reuss is pretty good, but Lutz had a lot more clout to get shit done because he's pretty much a legend in the business.

They didn't say it was garbage, but even the stig spun out while testing it.

You'd think they'd slowly subdue the big hourglass thing they've been doing for a number of years now like Acura did with the "beak" grille. But they are actually making it bigger and bigger with each new model. The 2016 Lexus RX350's front end is just vile to me. And this 2018 LC500 has an absolutely massive grille for such a low and small front end. The rest of the car has some really nice lines, but the grille is just ew. And wait till you see one with a license plate smack dab in the middle of that thing...gross.
 
Speaking of going a little too big with a grille...

The difference is, the Acura is a concept, and any of those styling cues will be toned down for actual production vehicles. That Lexus is actually what is going into production.
