    I don't see where it's boxy. The term "boxy" is often for 70s - early 2000s.

    The overall shape seems boxy to me, especially the rear. People see things different from one another, keep that in mind as well.

    Then why where they so popular? Don't get me wrong, they certainly weren't the best car in the world, especially if you want comfort or performance, but they were very reliable, versatile, and fuel efficient.

    OT: From a pretty decent looking pickup...

    I know, but i was just responding toward him saying "Oh this new facelift totally kills the old car" It was a terrible car for a very long time, until VW got the memo and finally made a usable one for the 21st century.

    What is it with manufacturers trying to make cars look better by making the roof a different color? It doesn't work with new cars, stop trying.

    I quite like that. It looks much more modern. I don’t like the pre facelift one that looks like the headlights are melting away.

    I mean, the Yaris doesn't even deserve the styling that the C-HR has. Sure, they are both aggressive, but I don't know why Toyota wants to make two-tone vehicles (except the second tone is the roof).

    I could see why you think that, although I still find it round.

    Mazda Miata: From the cute and cuddly NB to the meh NC. WTF.

    Audi A8: From the nice looking D4 to the meh D5.

    I do like the D5, but it's just me. Also, the ND was more like the angrier cousin of the NB, but it looked better still.
    OT:
    The original V was so/so.


    Now it looks like an stupid angry McDonald's customer.

    I don't get why you come from an boxy, lovable Lexus -

    into an cheeky, stalker Lexus.

    Why go bug-eye an commercial cabster in the future, or make it look like it's high?
