Absolutely incredible News

The Toyota Arse Auris facelift has been revealed.



I think they've really cracked this bland and dumpy thing it has to be said:pac:

robtri

I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason to me, it hits me as a poor photocopy of the Golf...

.Longshanks.

Christ, I didnt think it was possible to make even more dreary looking

Zube

Oooh! They put a flat bit at the bottom of the steering wheel!

Sporty!

Drummerboy08

These guys will be delighted!

Padraig Mor

I just fell asleep looking at that.....

Gurgle

I'm not that well up on these things, how come it doesn't have a Toyota badge on the front?

Worst looking family hatch of the decade. Bravo, Toyota! :rolleyes:

I've said it before, but being a designer at Toyota must be soul destroying.

Would one of the mods please be so kind as to edit "fantastic" out of the heading of this thread?

Looks like a Kia.

Mingin'.

Dear god. It's not ugly, just... *yawn*

That said, since I've arrived in Australia I've gone right off the Omega/Commodore. Sweet Jebus there's one for every man, woman and Ford. Every time I see one I want to laugh out loud.

I actually think its worse than before!

That interior looks worse anyway, there after squaring the air vents. That is just a hideous looking thing, full stop! No wonder they are no longer too many people buying the corolla hatchback, i.e THIS. Seems to be a lot more saloons around, and thats hardly much better looking!

FAIL toyota, remember this lot....



...dont like things like name changes. They should have stuck with the corolla name, whatever about the hideous look of the thing

Thirty-six years ago the Austin Allegro introduced the world to squared off steering wheels.

There is a reason why no car since, ever, ever, was designed with a squared off steering wheel.

This is what happens when you replace years of development experience with some whiz kid designer straight out of college.

Not clever.

MkV GTi and new TT have them, so do the RS Audis...

????I could probably name 10 cars off the top of my head that have the squared off steering wheel without even going near google...
Even my corsa has a squared off steering wheel

It makes more sense if you imagine it being said by James May (and watch Top Gear).

Aweful. Simply Aweful.

Looks like a bigger yaris.

OK, they have changed the grille or something. Why is there a whole thread on this?

Jeez we will have threads announcing when Korean manufacturers change the design of wheel trims on their blandsmobiles next.

I have been working for the past 14 hours or more. I clicked the link expecting to see Toyota have mended their ways. But no, only something that made my eyes very sore. You should be banned for such reckless and thoughtless behavior.

And why are people saying it looks like a Tiida? Of course it F**king looks like a Tiida. It also looks like a Golf, a i30, a Kia whatchamacallit, a focus, a yaris, and like a generic car a child would draw... and they want to bring in a scrappage to sell even more of this dross.

Somebody think of the children!

junkyard

The day they started putting batteries in their cars things were only going to get worse, they're rocketing to the number 1 place for bland and boring cars for sure, I don't think there's a decent looking car in the whole range now. They look more like domestic appliances than cars.:o

I'd say the greens would love it though.:)

Imagine it parked alongside this, on your driveway !!

But that's gorgeous! Bung on 17" alloys, combine it with a 180bhp D4D and you've got a fantastic car. And no, that's not sarcasm.

Meh...personally I don't get the humour of the whole thing. It's all very ho-hum Clarksonesque and anyone finding this humourous is demonstrating as little imagination as the original Toyota designers who came up with this blandmoblie! Not worth 3 pages of ha-has unless you're 12 yrs old...

The Auris is a white-good product for people who don't care about cars - there are lots of them about. Pretty inoffensive all-round...

stevenmu

The thing about is that it doesn't just affect people who buy it, fair enough some people have zero interest in what their car looks like and just want to get easily from A to B, but the rest of us will have to sit there stuck in traffic looking at that along side us.

Each to their own I suppose. Only an attempt at something more lighthearted in this place as opposed to the usual bah humbug that it's full of lately. If you like that thing though;)

One day, in not so distant future, ALL cars will look the same. :mad:

That new Auris stirs something deep within me that wants to smash and smash it until the pain goes away.

Philistines. It's far better looking then the previous model. It screams 'sleeper' if you stick a remap on it. I just love the look of it, it's efficient, quiet, comfortable and has a great autobox.

Now I just have to wait until it depreciates below €6000. Shouldn't be long

Any chance of the same just in case I ever accidentally clicked on the thread again?
