    Seriously though. Some executives probably decided a clean redesign wasn't needed. They told Sweers to put a huge ugly grill on the front because that is the trend now. He did it.

    True none of us know the budget for a redesign, plus they all know we are loyal and willing to fork over $$$$ for a Tacoma so they can increase the price and just retool a bit, heck we've been forking over $30+k for a 10 year old design/platform for years now.

    Whoa, I never said 'ugly'! And the 2nd gen is an awesome truck, that's why people are buying loads of them...

    Now, I'm talking about when the 3rd gens have been on the streets for 6 or so months, and you've seen them all over, driven them etc. That's when I think the 2nd gens will look somewhat archaic, and archaic probably isn't even the right word...

    Oh ok. I mean how dare you trash talk the new poverty gen. lol. They have an older looking design for sure. But I guess Im weird and just like them/that look.

    Yeah, I like them too! I even love the 1st gen; they are all works of art in their own right.

    I'm not so sure Id consider the 3rd gen a work of art, maybe a picaso piece kind of thrown together there. My buddy has an 04 AC that I drool over all the time.

    I have to say it's growing on me.. Though I plan on getting one, the looks are the only thing that had me set on a 15.. But the interior on the 16 IMHO, is worth the wait for me personally.

    Interior looks way better on the 16. They should have had whoever designed the interior design the exterior.

    Blame this guy - Kevin Smith - for the exterior design. You can tell by looking at him there is only one hamster powering that wheel in his head.

    Thats what happens when Toyota uses locals for design. Wasn't he before an intern in GM ?
    Interior is not bad on 2016 with the exception of the 80's style boombox like radio and vents.
