    Much like the new Tacoma, I can't help but think of a large mouth bass whenever I look at the grill.

    Seems like a lot of brands are doing this, or something similar, not many get it right.

    The new Subarus for which Toyota is part owner has a grill that's a dead ringer for the 16 Taco. If you use your imagination.

    No it's a real car at the NY auto show, it's a Scion iA, it's based on the Mazda 2.

    Indeed, and the grille / front bumper is the only difference between the two. To Toyota's stylists: "You had one job..."

    Toyota trying to rehash the Dodge Ram big mouth. Dodge sold tons of crappy trucks on the grill and Hemi Bulls.h.i.t.. The best looking tucks have the least chrome and the fewest decals. The grill of the new Tundra is obscene......

    The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was "looks like a Mazda 3..." Look on Scions website and see pics of the rear 3/4 view and boom damn near identical. The iM looks like a rebadged Matrix.

    The iM looks exactly like the overseas market Corolla Wagon.

    Actually the iM looks exactly like (and is, basically) the Toyota Auris. That bottom picture you posted is not the scion. they all look similar though
