For me the interior was always the biggest issue - awful plastics everywhere and the door panels were just a giant sheet of the same crummy plastic without any fabric or leather or whatever to break it up a bit



Sure put me off and I'm definitely no interior snob having previously had a Skyline/G35 sedan and now a first gen Mazda 3

You ever see a 2016/17 Prius? Cause I'm pretty sure it'll give the leaf a long rear end headstart and still come out ahead.




E: Between the prius and the RX350's clusterfuck of completely non-matching angles everywhere, it looks like someone somewhere figured out that sharp angles=cool aggressive awesome, and told all the engineers to just MAKE EVERYTHING SHARP ANGLES.

WHYYYYYYY it's so loving stupid and ugly looking why why why especially when the previous gen was a great looking car with exceptionally cool taillights. It looks like the taillights got pulled out of the mould while they were still hot and now there's a sticky tendril of taillight goo holding on there uuuugh. It's like they wanted to invert the trend of SUV's trying to look like cars by making a car with SUV styling cues.
