I think that each Toyota model has its own front badge.

No, you see, Toyota has a different badge for Japan.

The front of this Van really made me think of this for some reason
with the split headlights and whatnot

You're right, they've been taking design cues from the Americans.
Never a good idea.

Oops.

I'm with you. Especially considering the other sorts of cars Japan puts out, I don't find this all that shocking, and I really gotta wonder about the people who say they "recoiled in horror" or got physically sick after seeing it...

I mean, I wouldn't buy one myself, but I can see why someone else would, and if they started selling them here I wouldn't mind seeing them on the roads. images/smilies/dunno.gif

there are already tones of these in Asian countries...images/smilies/lol.gif

especially at some certain cross-border checkpoints, where somehow 9 out of 10 cars (excluding buses and trucks obviously) passing through it is a version of this Toyota, and to make matters worse, there weren't exactly a lot of different colours to chose from in the first place~! trying to find your car could never be as hard as this~! images/smilies/lol.gif
