This same "Award" was given to the Honda Civic and Renalt Encore and Aliiance.



Ha Ha Ha..



Nothing to be proud of.

I believe Motor Trend's car of the year is purchased, especially since the Renalt was once a COTY...

The head of Motor Trend should get the Nobel Prize for something in 2010! Pretty soon, all comrades will drive Cubes!:smile0005::smile0010:

I give it the UAS award (Ugly As Sin). :smile0013::smile0013:

the "box" style vehicles are becoming very popular.

with scion introducing the XB a few years ago, others have followed.

the kia soul, the cube, in a larger version the ford transit connect.

functionality seems to be more important then looks.

btw, i happen to like the looks and know that i have a very dependable quality vehicle :smile0006:

Read a recent report saying Scion was first in customer satisfaction.

Not sure, may have something to do with their "younger" market.

Know they're huge in Japan. Either way, an excellent testimonial.

steve,



the scion is definitely targeted for the "younger" market.

to date, i am still confused as to why toyota does not promote the XB to the fleet customer. they make great fleet vehicles for the small cargo/transport segment. i am converting my fleet of 50 toy matrix to new XB's. the drivers really like them and at 17.4K each and great residual, it is a winner.

but the regular consumer market is changing. more "older" people like myself are buying them. for the price, spacious room, and overall quality there will be more out there.

The Cube sure made the xB and the Element look a lot better!



A set of wheels/tires improve the looks of the Element and the xB greatly, as it does for most everything. I don't think that statement will apply to the Cube. It's just plain fugly!:smile0010:

Fugly by any other name is well...fugly.

 

[Gavin Allan]

Some of us here are old enough to remember the last boxy styling trend. Let's hope this UGLY thing has a shorter production life than the Ford Fairmont.

This is one reason that I subscribe to <U>Car and Driver</U> rather than <U>Motor Trend</U>!

 

[Chris Petrilla]

You all can say what you want. People call the ST ugly. My ST served it purpose, so does my xB. But, the xB is so much more fun to drive.
