There must be some bizzare contest in Toyota's design and marketing departments - trying to see how ugly of a vehicle they can force into the North American market before everyone realizes what kind of sick joke is being played on us.

Don't give them ideas - they'll start rebadging Azteks!

What's with the really colorful gauges

Why is this in the Big Guys?

Why is this in the Big Guys?

Because like every other tall AWD station wagon, Toyota calls it a crossover SUV before hatchback or wagon.

The winner deserves some sort of trophy...


with which I'll beat him over the head with it until he stains the carpet. 

[omicron]

You've just banished the entire brand, methinks.

If that does in fact happen, may I have a prize?

I'll buy you a '66 Eldorado if you can make that happen.

I count at least seven examples of contrived, clumsy, immature shit:

You know, for that I'd perform any favour whatsoever for every single member of the US armed forces if they would help me carry out my mission.

Actually, Omi, the Highlander is pretty nice.

It's not quite so fat and ridiculously bulgy as the others, but it still scares me for some reason.

Sorry, I was in the corner, crying uncontrollably.

Rich is heading for Japan.  He might be able to help.  I'm afraid I can't do much except help ensure that Japan never gets a hold of the F-22, so you Aussies might have air superiority.

[The Pirate]

I wouldn't buy one, but the Avalon isn't so bad looking, IMO.  It's not stunning, but it's not awkward or outright ugly like most of the other cars pictured.

[BENZ BOY15]

An atrocity.

What's that bottom one?! Yikes!

[CJ]

The bottom one is the new Seqouia.

That's sad.

The old one looked a lot better:

No, not really.  Unless by "better" you mean "less horrible."

[CJ]

I don't know, Sander.  The last Sequoia looked pretty darn good.

[Catman]

Everyone I know likes my Sequoia, I get compliments all the time.

[Submariner]

That is properly ugly.

Aren't you supposed to be rooting for the domestics?

[Cookie Monster]

I don't think it looks too bad from the outside.
The hideous shifter perched awkwardly like that needs to go though.

[Madman]

Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

P.S. We really need a vomiting smiley for crap like this.
