2016 Toyota Tacoma news

You can't compare photoshop photos to that of real production cars.
For example, thats like if someone photoshops a 86 front end onto the FT-1 concept and says it a better design than the GT-R. ok.... (Even tho the FT-1 already looks way better than the GT-R).
And no, it looks pretty crappy. Trucks aren't suppose to have around CUV faces. They're suppose to be masculine like the 4Runner and new Tacoma.

What ever the face (masculine or not) it doesn't have to be ugly, which the Tacoma and 4 runner are in spades.

And if Nissan finally steps up its reliability, Toyota will FINALLY up its aesthetic appeal.

I hope your right. I hope it serves as proof in the industry how important reliability is and that Renault/Nissan needs to step up their game. Further still, I hope that Nissans failure to supply its customers with top notch reliability results in them having the worst year. A tough lesson that I hope they learn.
I know that the Tacoma has a fan base and it has been a solid truck over the past years. Also as posted on the last page, hands down best interior in its class. I remember when Toyota showed of the updated Tundra. Everyone was saying its ugly and no one would buy. In truth sales actually increase.

I really don't care either way. I just know that the Tacoma has a fan base and it has been a solid truck over the past years. Also as posted on the last page, hands down best interior in its class.

On the other hand, this Tacoma looks pretty good... it will sell like hotcakes.

Agree. Nissan design hadn't been "good looking" until the new Murano, IMO. Their truck line looks like crap, I don't think frontier is going to touch either Tacoma or Colorado sales-wise.

Nissan has found its niche in offering somewhat quirky designs and good value. As you said, sometimes they design good looking or at least very interesting car like Murano, and then you have new Titan.

I really don't care either way. I'm just really trying to point across about looks being subjective.

The truck can do anything a mid size truck needs to do and it will satisfy Toyota owners who want to upgrade from the previous models.
I was kinda hoping they would say the words fully boxed frame but they did not.

That gear shifter could be found in a Lexus (and is)- just gorgeous.
The push to start button is going to get recalled, just like it did in other cars. Simple lesson in ergonomics is to separate mechanical and safety functions and make them look and feel different. I'm surprised it passed.
