    It does look like the front bumper will allow for a more agressive approach angle on inclines. But yeah that's ungly and I be glad to drive my 05 for another 200k miles aswell.
    I thought toyota was goin with a total redesign for the 2012?

    I hate it when car companies get lazy and start tacking on new front fascias to "re-freshen" their line-up.

    It's rarely ever a good thing:

    Random... to be fair, most auto companies do a 'refresh' a couple years before a complete redesign, I'm sure the goal is to spur a few more sales before they completely re-tool their assembly lines.

    Exactly. And this is what we get when the bean-counters make all the decisions: Unappealing crap.

    There should be a sticky with the so-called 2012 tacoma. Hopefully, that way people will stop reposting the same thing over and over again. But then again, the one's reposting it, probably don't read the stickies or do a search.
