I got to thinking of how I worded this comment, and I realized that it could be taken as rude and offensive.
I didn't intend for this comment to be aimed at anyone here, and was 'just sayin' how that I think it's a lame excuse for auto manufacturers to give the excuse of all cars having to look the same to be aerodynamic.

So, sorry if I offended anyone here.

I just saw the new Toyoda ( ) Camry and it's aero styling.
While it is indeed getting closer to the template shape, i can't say i find anything wrong with that in my eye. The closer a car is to that shape, the more beauty i see ! .

YKYAEM when you see this picture of the Camry grille and say " oooooh ...nice grille block Toyota ! " ( And just think - even more of that open area will be blocked by the license plate.
