We absolutely hate Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.
Has there ever been a more irritating and deluded celebrity – trotting around the world thinking he is a supergenius?
At least the Kardashians are not so damn condescending.
Nobody ‘got a feeling’ that this guy would pass an 8th-grade math test — so why pay attention to a Lexus collaboration with such a shill?
Here’s a reason: he had nothing to do with the idea of a hardcore NX concept besides picking a color and embossing his stupid logo in the cabin.
But remove all the brokered celeb tie-in, and the NX that bears his name is actually quite wonderful.
Might this preview a future NX-F? Battling the Macan with a base price of $48,000 and a turbocharged V6?
The thought is certainly promising.
