I know that designing cars is not an easy job, but I think it’s very important for any car manufacturer to select the design the cars they are selling a unique Identity. Recently we saw the amazing transformation of KIA cars, all models got new designs and each car looks absolutely elegant, yes even the small ones. Toyota on the other hand are not that lucky when it comes to designing cars, I’m talking about looks here, I know that it’s the best car in the world, but the way their cars look from the outside and the inside might be the reason I never owned one.
Toyota did a really good job with their trucks, I gotta admit, but their Camry, Corolla.. etc cars just don’t look that good, and they finally realized that it is a problem.. But did they solve the problem??
Let me answer that question without giving a long introduction NO, THE PROBLEM REMAINS, and here’s why, we are used to the new KIA cars now, we are very familiar with their new Identity that they worked really hard to achieve, so it’s not easy for anyone, even Toyota to step in and just use the design and say “Look we have a new car, now buy it..” and that’s exactly what they are doing with their new 2013 Avalon, which in their own words is described as the (Re-imagined)… I want you to take a look at the re-imagined car, and tell me if you saw that creative design before…
What do you think?? you saw that design before?? well I’m not talking about an exact copy of it, but it’s the first thing that you will pop into your head when you see it…
Here it is..
I know it doesn’t look exactly the same, but the Avalon isn’t a Toyota for sure, it’s more of a KIA than anything else… Well if you want other cars that did the same thing it’s a bad idea to take a look at the 2012 Porsche Cayenne and just go searching for the new Hyundai SUV’s out there, if you see the similarities don’t be surprised.. No creativity in the this world.. too bad….
