I will wholly admit, Toyota has been fully capable of making ugly vehicles for years and they have been. We’re just saying that for this thing, Toyota went “I’m gonna make an ugly f-cking car!” and the regulations for pedestrian safety were like “And we’re gonna make it sh-ttier!”

Yeah, the regulations have something to do with it. But Lexus took it further than anyone else - it's still a design issue.
Both things can be true.
