Toyota out-GMs GM again

Wow, that’s very Buick of them. But I must say, that’s a rather handsome car anyhow. There’s nothing wrong with emulating GM’s form language when they’re doing it well.

Then again, one could say that Buick’s Lucerne (All Current Vehicles: Luxury Cars, Sedans, SUVs & Convertible | Buick) emulates the form language of Japanese vehicles such as Nissan’s last form-factor for the Maxima.

I remember seeing the Toyota Prius and thinking “This is what the Pontiac Aztek was supposed to look like”. Now, if you remember, the Aztek is so ugly it violates your human rights, but the Prius is rather cute. Both have shapes reminiscent of each other. Sometimes I think GM’s designers know what they want to express, but just have a hard time getting it out looking right.
