I had a 1981 pickup and currently have a 1998 4wd Tacoma. They did get uglier and uglier.
Honda used to have some nice, conservatively styled cars. Seems like all the manufacturers are into the ugly space-ship designs.
Who is designing for Toyota now? The 4 Runner is butt ugly now, a huge square box, bug eye lights and the very tacky 4 Runner inscription on the back. Even the Lexus line has ugly front grills that say “Nope”.
