Before:

I saw a Cruze yesterday and thought the back DLO looked cheap. I was wondering what it would look like with out it... Not sure if outlooks better!

Is there a window back there or it’s just plastic?

That cusp up there needs rounded off. Otherwise, good!

It’s never really bothered me. I think out of all the DLO fails out there, the Cruze is one of the least offensive. I find the one on the current gen Camry to be particularly heinous. Reason? I can’t look at a current Camry without seeing the rather classy outline of the previous “gen” before the heavy refresh. It was boring, perhaps, but it was honest. At least the Cruze was designed from the ground up to incorporated it.

This looks Mazda. Nothing against Mazda, but I prefer the Before.

It’s just plastic.

I totally agree. However, the original would make a good 2-door design.

Yeah, just plastic.

Yeah, it was just a crude way to see what it could look like.

I *can* see that.

Yeah, it really isn’t that bad. The camry’s DLO isn’t too noticeable when the windows are tinted.

Ignore the awful rims.

Hello old Mazda 3. I like it better with the plastic

I was thinking of the older 3, but that works too.

It bothers me when Toyota markets their cars as all new when they are just mild refreshes.

Mild refreshes of an already mild refresh. That’s the bigger issue. The only reason their cars are so reliable is they really haven’t pushed the envelope in so long. Less innovation and more coasting.

Still, all I see is the old car’s former DLO. It just always looks tacked on.

I did a bunch of these a while ago. Sadly, a LOT of cars have little chunks and slivers of black “window” these days.

The Jag looks sooo much better with out the black chunk. The only color that it’s acceptable in is black.

The 200 looks totally different without its DLO!
