    what in your opinion is the best looking modern Toyota vehicle?
    Toyota seems to be in the midst of an ugly phase. I can’t make up my mind which one is less ugly.

    The Camry XSE (not the TRD) are really nice with black roofs and red seats. 3.5 goes like snot too.

    Pretty subjective, late 90s tacos looked the best, followed by 1st gens and the 3rd gens. 2nd gen got too round like too many 2000s vehicles. Third gen is much more reminiscent of the golden age 90s yota trucks. 2nd 3rd and 5th gen 4 runners also look nice imo.

    The Rav4 adventure looks good. I don't understand why they didn't put this grille on all Rav4 trims. If you want the hybrid, you're stuck with the ugly one.

    Cement Apex Corolla looks neat too. For a Corolla.

    Absolutely the Rav’s have become super cool. In the process of convincing my fiancé to move from Subaru to Toyota, and she’s getting into the Rav look. Also seeing a bunch of these on Instagram where Japanese dudes kit them out with little knobby tires and racks- they look pretty cool :rofl:

    100% would throw some KO2’s on a Rav if I had one. It’s too hilarious not to.

    In my opinion anything Toyota designed before about 2000 was prettier.

    Crazy me and you have completely opposite taste haha. Imo 2nd gen taco looks the best (2012-2015). I agree 2nd gen (2005-2011) are the ugliest of the bunch tho. For 4runners since the OP asked for best looking, 5th gen probably takes the cake but my personal favorite is the 4th gen only because of the option for a v8. Oh well different strokes for different folks lol

    This seems controversial... and I like playing devils advocate. I'll be truthful.

    I really dig the current 4runner bodystyle. Been around a while now... but it's...

    The style of the tacoma def needs to compete with modern options though. And hopefully soon. I've almost switched to jeep 2 or 3 times in the last few years. But I'm holding out for tacomas comeback era(fingers crossed) hoping the 4th gen isn't a 3rd gen repeat.

    The look of the 3rd gen Tacoma is one of the factors that led me to even look into it in the first place. I couldn't stand the look of the 2nd gen. The 1st gen has since grown on me, but I still love the 3rd gen the best.

    I'm attracted to sharp lines in vehicles so I don't mind a lot of the current Toyota designs, such as the Camry. Even the Prius looks better than in years past.

    Camry SE if I had to choose with Toyota's styling.
    I think just about everything made these days is ugly. Some vehicles to me look like the designers raided the parts bin to throw something together. The only new cars that still have me taking a second look is BMW. They still keep their look fresh but there is no mistaken it for anything but a BMW.
    I think Tacoma's are bland but at least you can do something with them.
    I was born when cars had gobs of chrome and fins on them. Over the years I have watched the changes they went through and honestly I am not impressed with what they pass off as cars these days. I recently sold my 65 Galaxie 500 and my wife says she will miss the way that car rode compared to the new cars of today. It had a front seat that reminded you of a couch and a suspension that just floated over the bumps on Ohio's roads. Now its bam, bam, bam with our roads.

    Why in the hell would you get rid of a Galaxie 500?
