This might just be the ugliest front end on any new car today. Even uglier than those Predator-faced Lexus’.

Here’s something nicer to think about.

It looks like they put a Vellfire in the dryer too long. And that’s not a good thing.

The grill is so bad I didn’t even see the terrible hood/bumper cut line until now.

Don’t study it too hard, your face might melt.

This one is worse than the Predator to me, but the Avalon beats both. Congratulations Toyota - you outdid yourself again!!

And yet the only spot that lets air through is up by the badge.

And it looks like the side grilled are mostly blocked off too.

looks like a giant 8-track tape deck.

I think it’ll look better in person. Toyota’s current design language isn’t photogenic. :)

Meanwhile, at GM:

Overbite truck!

Who at Toyota decided that their cars have to look so fucking angry?

That grill is basically the physical recreation of “bwaaaahhhh”

I’ll let you know when I see it next week. I don’t think the Silverado is good looking either.

Something something you all complained Toyota was boring something.

Apparently their “stylists” didn’t learn that not being bland doesn’t mean being ugly.

An ex-Honda designer I’m guessing. Either that, or a Toyota designer that drives a Civic.

Most Toyota buyers don’t even really look at the car, it’s an appliance. Reliable, economical, reasonably priced? Done. Beige with an angry face is fine with them so long as it meets it’s appliance attributes. I will never consider a Toyota car again thanks to the fucked up styling, I would consider a Tacoma though.

Have we not learned anything from the Civic’s faux air vents? If they aren’t funtional, they look stupid being so huge. That has to be bad for aero too.

We didn’t learn anything from the 650S’s fake vents either.

I thought we had reached peak shiny black plastic fake grille, but I was wrong. This might finally be peak shiny black plastic fake grille.

Acura is giving everyone a run for their money in the most over-the-top use of it, though. If you’ve ever seen one up close in person, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I don’t mind their Mark X and Harrier.

Disappointed really. I expected the grill to be even bigger

It’s a shame because the interior actually looks like a very nice, well thought out place to be

That’s the only thing I like about it. But driving a car that’s nice inside and ugly outside makes little sense to me.

I’m really getting old, I’m 32 and most of what the Avalon offers seems perfect for me. Buttery soft leather, spacious, comfortable interior, smooth, quiet ride, confidently powerful naturally aspirated engine, and top notch build quality and materials. If it wasn’t for the FWD and ugly grille, it actually might be the ideal car. But, then, the 300 was the only other car I cross shopped when I bought my Challenger.

But, these aren’t even sold in Europe, are they?

The Japenese have handed over styling duties to children. They’re all fucking hideous and so overdesigned they need to just stop it.

Jesus that looks almost normal now compared to the Avalon. Maybe that was their goal?

Reasonably priced my ass. They are so expensive, and they’re not nearly as reliable as everyone makes it out to be.

If so, mission accomplished, I guess?
