    Not very pretty is it?
    It is good that Toyota allow their designers to play about with different concepts and ideas but do they really need to let people see them?

    That is about the most unspeakably butt-ugly vehicle I have ever seen. It is so ugly it might actually acquire a following.

    Sorry Bill, it is a HI-CT not HY-CT. Wonder what the coefficient of drag is for this thing? It does have nice big doors for easy entry.

    Bill, I've met you, you aren't the right "type" for this "truck".
    I'm so glad that others also see it as fugly...
    actually, when I first saw the photo, my verbal response was such that DH came to see what hideous thing could possibly exist to elicit such a response.

    DAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN that's ugly.
