However, like the annual Frankfurt auto show, seeing some of the debuts can be frustrating from a US perspective.
But one Japanese brand that will bring us a BEV is Lexus.
It plans to bring the as-yet-unseen electric car to the US and China in 2020, although everyone has to wait until November to actually see what it looks like.
Before anyone gets ahead of themselves, this is absolutely not what a production Lexus EV will look like next year.
With no traditional hood upon which to mount its Cylon-shaped grille (officially known as the "spindle"), the spindle shape shows up all over the place—an angle here in the window line, a crease there in an air intake.
