Traveler Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 While it does look very much like the Fusion, I'll have to say that Toyota was doing a 3-bar design on the last generation Tundra. Not that I'm taking up for Toyota, though. This grille looks more like the Ford 3-bar than the Tundra 3-bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 It looks like a Mazda6 with a Fusion grille transplanted into it. WTF were they thinking? :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 It looks like a Mazda6 with a Fusion grille transplanted into it. WTF were they thinking? :shrug: Toyota has run out of ideas. Now they will just make ugly versions of Fords and Mazdas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 At first impression, it gave me a hint of Ford Prodigy P2000 Concept. LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2D Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Maybe Toyota thinks that they can put a better package together and get away with it. why not still styling cues for one of todays best sellers? especially if that best seller might become a threat.

RichardJensen Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) They also painted it Ford blue. Yeesh. The new Corolla is out, and, like the new Camry, it looks like a bloated version of the old Corolla. With bed skirts. Seriously, that's what the new rocker panels on the Camry and Corolla remind me of. Bed skirts.

navlys32 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 kinda looks like a mondeo face with fusion's 3 bar grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomServo92 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Bed skirts. Also known as dust ruffles. I suppose those are pretty good terms to use in regard to Toyotas: skirts and ruffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Toyota's arrogance is growing and can be seen in the size of their badging. Look at a car that size and tell me why it has to have a brand badge that big on the grille. It's ridiculous...but, of course Ford is becoming increasingly guilty of it too. Just say 'no' to big badges. Oh, and ugly Toyotas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnFan Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yeah, for a while I thought we were going to get the Auris, but it seems we're getting this Corolla. Fuck yeah, Toyota is going to get flushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Jellymoulds Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 They are probably all using the same design software now, Windows Jellymoulds version 3.11 Mondeo, Skoda Octavia, BMW 3 Series etc all use the same CAD programme. You are getting the binary systems dream car. Must say l prefer extra razor grill bars Ford give you 3 at the top and 2 extra blades at the bottom, l have got to say the Toyota look so cheapskate with just 3 blades, l have got to say l am get very excited at this sudden burst of individuality from Ford 5 blades WOW!!! This is very daring move by Ford indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Reynolds Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, they do. Sorry, I meant on the previous gen Tundra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Sorry, I meant on the previous gen Tundra. That is a 2-bar grille on top of a chrome bumper insert. 1ZVFT82H865142978.pdf 1ZVHT82H165137372.pdf 1ZVHT82H565146978.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious1Auto Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 It looks like a Mazda6 with a Fusion grille transplanted into it. WTF were they thinking? :shrug: I was thinking the same thing. You know what they say, "Impersonation is the greatest form of flattery"! Looks like Toyota appreciates more than just the Ford Superduty!
