    The Tacoma wins in the looks category.


    The Hilux doesn't look aggressive to me, but it has potential.

    I have a feeling the next gen tacoma is going to look a little more like the Helix, given the redesign of the 4Runner. I'll have to see in person to say how I think it looks after that.

    Couldn't agree more. I really don't like the grill/headlights on the Hilux, but outside of looks, I'd love to have one.
