WTF?

I was hoping for a spiffy new model to make the previous one more affordable. At this rate, the last model sure will keep its value extremely well.

Looks like it is just warmed over as well - nothing new on the inside? I wish they still had a V8.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

They're just messin' with us now.

Why so ugly? Is this going to be a trend?

Is it considered so cool/desirable to be "different" that this is now considered good design because every teenager will want one just to tick his parents (and anyone "older") off?

I read somewhere once that some Ford upper level decision-maker once told his designers (may have been the original Taurus) to "go back and make more drawings... it's not scary enough."

Somebody get Bangle on the phone. Surely he can shed some light.

Winner! Anyone else think Honda and Toyota have totally lost their way from a style perspective?

What were they thinking?
Looks like something you'd find in a "customized" advertisement on Craigs list.

Styling today, change the front end and leave the rest the same. Call it a next year edition. What BS.
