I guess "alien" nails down the first impression I got from that Toyota (that takes that angular-hourglass shape that Lexus is so fond of and embellishes it further with overly aggressive panel shaping). It's not a positive impression, off-putting without being an absolute deal-breaker would be closer to it. I can think of one set of circumstances where I'd buy a car that looked like that, and it would be in spite of its styling rather than because of it.

One of the problems is that GM and Ford are giving up most of the car market to the Japanese and South Korean manufacturers without a fight. Sure SUV's and pickups have taken a larger % of the mrkt, but there are plenty of sedans around here and very few are Fords or GM products.
No argument from me on those points. We recently replaced our "family sedan", and getting what we want in a car took both Ford and Chevy off the list before it even got started.
