I like it. Talk about a vehicle overdue for a new model. The current Tundra is fataing ancient. Not generally a fan of huge grills, but they do look better on trucks than cars and I like my trucks to look aggressive versus timid looking models like the Ridgeline or Ranger. Overall, happy with it. Better looking than a new Chev or Titan. On par with F-150 and Ram.

They need to re sculpt the bottom the front bumper bar , looks awful. It's fine above the bottom 10 percent or so.

Plus they get some cool bonus points for having a light bar in the grille making it look like K.I.T.T.

Like if they just sucked in the bottom bumper corners flush with the lights it'd be way better.

That's probably the TRD Pro. Gonna Gonna a whole lot of chrome for the other trim lines.

Excuse my horrible photoshop, but I think this is better.

Heyyy that's a good photoshop. That does a great job of showing the grill isn't that huge by 2021 standards. Looks nice.

my air conditioner looks better

Swing and a miss Toyota. That's not an improvement.

I don't think it looks any more ridiculous than its competitors.

Yeah, this is what trucks look like now. It's actually even a fairly conservative evolution of the Tundra IMO.

[Sliver]

Hopefully the drivetrain has some turbo or hybrid options. What is it in there now, a 5.7 guzzler? The fuel economy on a Tundra is fataing terrible compared to my 2.7 ecoboost.

Ahem... Toyota and Lexus are the initiators of this horrendous trend. The only reason the Tundra's been spared is because, like Sliver said, the truck is ancient.

[Table 5]

The next-gen Land Cruiser has a similarly over-done grille, so expect the same for the 4runner/Tacoma as well.

I believe Audi was the the first brand to start the big grille trend last decade. Mitsubishi came after with the EVO X and Lexus came after that. History will not be kind to a lot of today's vehicles as this trend has got out of control.

Toyota making ugly cars is not exactly a novel concept.

I think the new Tundra looks fine. Looks too much like a Ram, especially the hood and fender areas. But unlike a Ram it will still run in 5 years

[zamler]

Just get it over with Toyota I know you want to.

Bit over done with those fins or whatever beside the grill, but overall that's a pretty tame-looking package.

The Corolla hatchback is a great looking car. The best looking car the company has made since the LFA.

That's quite the chasm
