This hideous looking creature needs to go back to the pits of HELL from which it came.

Doesn't even look that bad to me, can you explain further whats so ugly about the car? I personally think it looks well suited.

Heres the pic u posted, I simply put img tags on it so everyone else could see.

I agree, not "ugly" at all. Doesn't even have that spindle grille! Oh wait, that's not a Lexus!

I think they're hideous too. Don't like the new Tacoma much either.

Don't feel bad for their designers losing their job because they can always go back to high school and finish up their geds.

Do you have anything useful to post, or are you just going to continually slam Toyota design and post photochops of fictitious Nissans?

Hideous? No.

Bold? Yes.

Polarizing? For sure.

^yes, that's very logical. Toyota's best sales year ever and they need to fire the design team.

I think Toyota, being a humongous company that they are, needs to have various design languages that cater to multiple markets and cultures.

Of course, aesthetic interpretation will always be different depending on the market. The U.S. is only one market, and such designs like the current 4Runner may be embraced by other markets.


For example, the Vellfire is one of the most loved cars in Japan, but such design language may not translate that well in the U.S.





One disagreeable voice is insignificant to Toyota. If the masses are vocal, then the issue would be different.

Lol!!!!! I just had to laugh at that pic!
I'd be careful thou, cause Toyota may see this pic and somehow become "inspired" to resurrect another face from the living dead for their next design.
