Ví dụ

Just as the Koreans are now getting a handle on styling, Lexus has taken over the title of beaten up with an ugly stick.

Thankfully, it's no electric weird-mobile, brusquely (lỗ mãng, cộc cằn) beaten with an ugly stick in an attempt to draw attention to its environmental credentials (giấy ủy nhiệm).

The tweaks aren't enough to turn away any prospective buyers. Let's be honest, this model will still sell in the thousands so as long as Toyota doesn't beat it with an ugly stick. You won't mistake the shape for anything other than an MPV, but it doesn't look ungainly or ill-proportioned, either. The exterior changes are just enough to let you know this is the 2021 model and the rest of the body is largely carried over. Besides, it would be unwise for Toyota to give it a dramatic facelift that might turn off the masses.
