After spending a week in a new 2008 Chevy Malibu, I can with 100% confidence say that there is no uglier car on the road than that thing. Everytime I got out of it and glanced over at what I was actually driving, I couldn't get over what an ugly and cheap pile of garbage it really was.

I guess the only consolidation was that the Malibu was a pretty common car on the rental lots, so at least the ugliness didn't stand out like a sore thumb. It was just a sea of ugly Renta-bu's, mostly silver and white over in rental car row at the San Francisco Airport.

This Avensis is much nicer looking to me and has a touch of class, almost Lexus-like as one other poster pointed out. I would def drive one of these over a Malibu. Probably built much better as well

I drove the current Avensis (diesel) in Ireland a couple of years back and for a basic Camry/Accord type car, it drove pretty nice. Toyota really knows how to hit the sweetspot when it comes to everyday, point A-B transportation. This one looks pretty good to me. Even has some Lexus styling cues that make it look real classy.

I would definitely trade my 2007 Saturn Aura (With its not-so great reliability and shoddy quality) for one of these if Toyota brought it over.

Wow. This is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Toyota design is going down a very odd path. That large wood center console on the inside… yeow…
