I'm less excited about this one than the last one, but just a little.

personally i love my barebones (as in, not even intermittent wipers "option"-- i'm a new fan of fleet cars) 04 tacoma. everything i need, nothing i don't

edit: more ranting since we're all aboard the crossover hate train-- i can't speak for other makes, but i was offered a mazda egg (cx-30? idfk) as a rental for a ~1500 mi trip. i dumbly said "sure why not," since i'd never driven one before. what a terrible fucking car. i wouldn't ever even rent one again, let alone buy it. i work in a library, and our book carts handle better. rear visibility is zero. it's cramped af inside, even though the car is suspiciously large. the whole thing just felt thrown together, both in design and build. fuck crossovers.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with everyone that crossovers lack uniqueness. But post this picture with sedans, or pickups, and it’s the same point.

i think the "they all have the same look" criticism takes a back seat (ha) to the "it's a stupid look" observation
