the front grill is all wrong

nauticajoe · 8 April 2012, 08:15 AM

What were they thinking?

Needless to say, I'm sure it'll do well.

Mosco · 8 April 2012, 08:27 AM

Not like the previous versions were any better looking.

Still looks better than Acura's IMHO....with that grill they lost the baby boomers
but im sure they are after gen x and y and whatever comes after that

I think the baby boomers are about twenty years too young for this car. This model has always been a dog in toyota's lineup, it like their crown Victoria. Good for taxicabs and retirees that had enough common sense not to buy a Lincoln.

I like the look.

Mike B · 8 April 2012, 10:22 AM

Expect the new Lexus LS too look VERY similar.

RRGHOST1 · 8 April 2012, 10:28 AM

I think its ok,it will look better in the flesh.

HL65 · 8 April 2012, 10:30 AM

Looks a lot better than it used to IMHO.

Here is something to settle you down Kenneth as you like the 'vintagey' stuff.

Is that a word?

My '92 XJ40.

love the vintage british cars where they use real wood for the trim panels, unlike cars of today where they use acrylic "wood" trim panels.

That is a sexy car, I like the old stuff better than the new cars.

The Avalon looks horrible, and Toyota does not have that quality they once had. I sat in the new Camry at the NY Auto show and can tell you the materials were horrid on the inside, and the seating position was even worse.

Beautiful. I had a 1987 XJ6 and it had fantastic wood trim, large thin (no air bag) steering wheel. Such a special driving experience from a real British car.

86 or 97 was the last of the series 3 body styles, completely different from the 92.

'87 was the last of the independent rounded headlights and curved taillights. In '88 they went to rectangular - such a shame. Still, those cars had more style than what Ford did to them

Looks OK to me......

Just like watches, there's something out there for everyone. You just need to find it!

You picking on Kenneth again?

gmh1013 · 8 April 2012, 10:53 AM

I found some more pics of it and it looks better than the old one IMHO

YIKES. That is a lot of bland plastic...I gota say the exterior body is decent looking, but most japanese cars don't appeal to me.

gold canyon · 8 April 2012, 02:36 PM

I think it's a nice sedan.

Ed Rooney · 8 April 2012, 11:53 AM

I don't like any of the newer Toyota designs. They ruined my favorite SUV, the Land Cruiser, and turned the Sequoia and 4runner into bloated Chevy Suburbans.

GradyPhilpott · 8 April 2012, 01:38 PM

I don't see anything wrong with the look.

It's highly derivative, but what's new about that?

watchiwant · 8 April 2012, 04:28 PM

why can't Toyota use Audi as a benchmark

Elegant, well thought interior
