Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.
Now, comes a new trend. A trend which was spawned from the coke-snorting habits of Generation X. It is the ugly car trend.
Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe
hummer), the Volkswagen
Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this
one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays
money for that needs to have their heart
ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that
one), and last and certainly least, the
Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber
will make the other car bounce off you).
Toyota once again plans to dominate a rising line of cars with the ugly Scion. This includes the shoebox on wheels, and the wannabe Impala.
I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my
left. And a Honda
Element behind me. If I had
one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.
