Probably to cool the engine faster than it would have been without the grille.

Jakumo:
This car is EXTREMELY ugly. What is the function of that gigantic radiator grille ? Is it designed to trap flying bats and insects, so as to then cook them with engine heat, for the dining pleasure of the car occupants when they arrive at their destination ?

Perhaps that enormous grille operates like a bulldozer blade, for use in clearing snow and mud encountered on the way to the shopping mall ?

As the old saying goes, beauty is only skin deep, but UGLY is to the bone. This car is UGLY and offensive to look at.

This is not a Toyota but a Lexus.

I know they both belong to the same parent company but lets call it by its real name cos Toyota and Lexus are two separate divisions of the same company that cater to different markets

Both the Lexus and all the other new Toyota cars and the SUVs have the same grill design. That's what I meant.

Lexus has never been a World Car Brand compared to Mazda.
You can't compare Motorola with Tecno. Lexus is like Tecno phone.
Lexus is only popular in Nigeria because Nigerians accept mediocrity.

What exactly are you saying? You are talking BRANDS and you are mentioning Lexus and Mazda in the same sentence? Lexus is a far better brand than Mazda and for your information, Lexus is well loved and appreciated in the US. It struggles in Europe mostly due to badge snub rather than quality issues. Europeans would rather drive Benz, Audi or BMW in the luxury segment. Mazda is never mentioned in this segment. They have absolutely no offering here.

the Moto ugly true true. The design is less than premium. But these are the kind of cars to learn to love, but can never love at first sight. Remember the camry that has gaping grille like this...?

This sounds like an indirect reference to the fads of Suya-ing and Peppersoup-ing, which swept Obodo Nigeria last year. Historians take note.
