It might look a bit weird from some angles, but nobody is going to call this boring Corolla... And look at that stance!

old Auris to compare:

Default even appliances are more stylish.
I like it in silver with this option.

Oh wait I think I actually prefer my fridge, it's got led screen and the brushed alumium trim which this toyota don't even have. And my fridge makes ice cubes another option toyota don't have all while using less power.

I think it doesn't look boring buy it does look ugly. The front is like the ugly nissan murano.

Looks like a cross between a CT and a Focus hatch. I like it.

This is an excellent addition for Euro and Asian markets.


As far as negative comments, I can't give weight to a lot of the American remarks on this thread...

I don't really like Toyota's new design language, except Avalon, others seems so ackward and I just can't make myself like it, especially the new Camry.

I like the look of that - certainly an improvement on the existing model and a better, more cohesive design than the CT.
