This is an installment in a series of posts looking back on show cars that we feel deserved a little more attention than they got.

I can’t wait until we finally get out of this crossover phase. Every car looks the same, and comes in one of three colors: black, white, or silver/grey. I’m tired of having to stick with 20+ year old cars if I want something unique and affordable in a nice color.
personally i love my barebones (as in, not even intermittent wipers “option”-- i’m a new fan of fleet cars) 04 tacoma. everything i need, nothing i don’t
edit: more ranting since we’re all aboard the crossover hate train-- i can’t speak for other makes, but i was offered a mazda egg (cx-30? idfk) as a rental for a ~1500 mi trip. i dumbly said “sure why not,” since i’d never driven one before. what a terrible fucking car. i wouldn’t ever even rent one again, let alone buy it. i work in a library, and our book carts handle better. rear visibility is zero. it’s cramped af inside, even though the car is suspiciously large. the whole thing just felt thrown together, both in design and build. fuck crossovers.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with everyone that crossovers lack uniqueness. But post this picture with sedans, or pickups, and it’s the same point.
i think the “they all have the same look” criticism takes a back seat (ha) to the “it’s a stupid look” observation
There’s also that flat shade of green blue gray the shade of mold.
