    Sorry, but the facelifted 2nd gen LS430 is way better than the first gen in terms of the looks.

    For me, the (nose-y) face bothers me. I like the Avalon style the 1st gen had.

    What Supra?
    Specifications would be nice, so we can understand which one you mean.
    OT:


    The newer one made the car more generic.

    I don't think it looks bad, it just looks like an modernized MK.4 Supra.

    It doesn't. It looks more like an understyled FT-1.

    Left one (old) is so much better looking than that facelifted ugly front.

    Ford Ka

    From quirky, charming city car...



    ... to underwhelming also-ran...



    ... to dreadful, cheap budget car.

    I like it better with painted bumpers.

    The front fascia, from different angles, either looks like its stoned or seriously depressed.

    Reminds me of Eeyore

    Well, unpainted bumpers were its signature design feature. Gave the car character.

    Much like the Multipla, the Ka went from quirky but characterful to inoffensive but uninspiring.

    Makes sense, to the general downtrend of car automakers taking interesting cars. Better to keep possible losses low, and crank out 4 different size crossovers am i rite?

    Better yet, crank out cars bland as dishwater so you can spice them up later with faux-crossover looks.

    Yeah! 2 more inches of ground clearance!

    Not it can pointlessly compete with all the other "crossover" hatchbacks!

    Such great pieces of crap like the Fiat 500x and the Mini Countryman!

    Seriously, these cars are to actual crossovers as crossovers are to actual suvs.

    Well this is just a bodykit, both the 500X and the Mini Countryman are proper crossovers.

    What's a difference between proper and non-proper crossover anyway? Crossover is just a car with offroad styling cues.

    Both the 500X and the Mini Countryman have some (moderate) offroad capabilities, not just styling cues.



    The Ka+ Active on the other hand is just an hatchback with plastic overfenders.
