When he said the TL is a Doozy, he meant it was well in the running for "Ugliest car ever built". Beats just about any Toyota less than 15 years old. ( I mean for UGLY, not for looks) Some of the old Crowns and Coronas were definitely ugly, but the later stuff is just "pedestrian". For manufacturers,Daihatsu beat Toyota on the ugly scale, and Subaru has definitely been pushing hard (think Tribeca and WRX) along with Mitsubishi (the EVO frontend is just an example) but I don't think any current manufacturer in the North American market has a firm hold on the title, accross the board. They've ALL designed and built and foisted on the American public some pretty AWFULL designs - along with some real beautys. However, beauty is DEFINITELY in the eye of the beholder, and what You may think is beautiful I may think is horrendous, and Vise Versa. > >"tww1491" <twaugh5(a)cox.net> wrote in message >news:FJt3n.33110$Gf3.12733(a)newsfe22.iad... >> >> "Mike Hunter" <Mikehunt2(a)lycos,com> wrote in message >> news:4b4df272$0$7749$ce5e7886(a)news-radius.ptd.net... >>> They should do a survey of the Ugliest car manufacturer, Toyota would >>> will hands down LOL >> I don't know -- the Acura TL is a doozy. >> >>> >>> >>> "chronicle" <rca976(a)live.com> wrote in message >>> news:a4e44c5e-a999-4ae4-be25-04c2e40d297d(a)o28g2000yqh.googlegroups.com... >>> x-no-archive:yes >>> On Jan 12, 7:57 am, Dur <Use-Author-Supplied-Address-Header@[127.1]> >>> wrote: >>>> (Car Lust) - Some cars are beautiful, and some ... well, not to put >>>> too fine a point on it, some cars are not beautiful.

Yaris isn't ugly, it's actually cute. In the past there were Supra, MR2 and AE86. All nice cars in my eyes. Actually the worst line-up is BMW's, I insist. Great engines, good cars... but bloody awful aesthetically. The 1 series is a laugh, for instance. -- Take care now, bye bye then, Jack Burton: What's in the flask, Egg? Magic potion? Egg Shen: Yeah. Jack Burton: Thought so, good. What do we do, drink it? Egg Shen: Yeah! Jack Burton: Good! Thought so.
From: Mike Hunter on 14 Jan 2010 16:13 Actually the term DOOZY is a old term that referred to something being as good as a Duisenberg, one of the finest car ever made. Nothing Toyota ever made can be compared to a Duisenberg. ;) <clare(a)snyder.on.ca> wrote in message news:v82tk51ejfi616sd97tqeapfvtc03cc4ap(a)4ax.com... > On Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:12:55 -0500, "Mike Hunter" > <Mikehunt2(a)lycos,com> wrote: > >>That is probably because it is not a Toyota >> > > You misunderstood again Mike. > When he said the TL is a Doozy, he meant it was well in the running > for "Ugliest car ever built". > > Beats just about any Toyota less than 15 years old.
