looks like they are well into the quest to make every toyota as ugly as possible

 

[laserwizard]

LOL! Smilingoat! Perhaps what is so sad is that there will be enough fools that will line up to buy this that the Toyota dealer will feel obliged to tack on a second sticker adding $1500 market adjustments for the privilege of owning one of these eyesores.

Oh what a feeling!

 

[bobo]

I like the clean styling, except for the bump on the nose like on the next SLK.

 

[LGRpup]

That looks like it belongs in the Scion family.

 

[diablo4]

Ugly.

 

[desmo9]

Typical bland Toyota crap that'll sell on the Maytag plan. Toyota does not have the product to justify their dominance of the market. Takes product, not just quality. Makes no sense.

So- basically this is a Matrix in different skin?

 

[stewacide]

I'm pretty sure this is taller than the Matrix - it's meant to compete with the Ford Focus C-MAX, VW (Golf-based) Touran, Opel (Astra-based) Zafira, etc. in Europe

 

[JAllan]

it's official

The japanese are getting their design inspiration from abortion clinics.

 

[jro4566]

What's so bad about the design besides the bump on the hood? What would you all want a Toyota to look like? The awesome-looking Malibu??? 'Nuff said. If you want a good looking car, but something else. But for those who want the room...well then that's why they buy this.

Point is: people buying this car are mainly in it for passenger space and versatility...NOT STYLE!

 

[JAllan]

Everything about this car is abominable.

The entire front-end needs dumping. So does the back.

From the side, the profile is terrible.

It's not as if we're asking for amazing design. Bland/neutral is OK. This is actively hideous.

 

[stewacide]

I agree this is "actively hideous" (not just the usual Toyota boringly ugly). Some of the cars in this class are starting to look pretty nice (e.g. the new Ford/Mazda twins).

 

[impala02]

Can those headlights get any bigger!???

 

[TaHoE]

Looks like toyota took the voltz (Pontiac Vibe) and slammed it into an Ugly-Wall (Just a really big *** ugly stick) and this is what happened. The Hockey-stick D-pillar is a Vibe transplant...its quite obvious...
