Must be getting too old to appreciate some of the current automotive design trends. Had my Yaris oil changed at the Toyota dealer early this morning. Looked at the new cars in the showroom and on the lot. Know one thing for sure; Toyota won't be earning my business now or in the near future. YUK! Ugliest cars on the planet. The trucks, Highlander, and Sienna still pass, IMHO.

Yeah, the styling of vehicles is becoming more & more ridiculous/cartoonish, and/or just downright bad in many cases.

I could deal with a 2018+ refresh version Yaris SE, assuming it was in BLACK ONLY (perfectly stealth styled!) - either in manual or automatic. The iM is okay also to me (in black or barcelona red only), but I wouldn't buy/trust a regular CVT version at this point from any maker. Seems like only the eCVT's from Toyota have shown any measure of long-term, consistent reliability, and those are restricted to hybrid/electric vehicles only (which are all currently crap in terms of styling in the U.S.). So, if I wanted a non-hybrid subcompact/compact Toyota automatic at this point, it would pretty much be BLACK 2018 Yaris SE or nothing. I also wonder if this region of the U.S. will even get the SE Yaris trim any more? The Toyota website won't let you build an SE with our region zip codes entered, and one has yet to pop up anywhere close to AZ, outside of CA. That doesn't bode well.

Oh, and the 2019 Avalon would probably look okay also in (stealth styled) BLACK. Way too large of a car for me though, just like the Camry.
