I saw one for the first time when I was driving through Disney World in 2006. I confused it for a Hummer. Later when I got a real good look at it online I thought "Wow, what an ugly looking SUV, who the hell would wanna buy THAT?

Gotta agree, the FJ Cruiser is hideously ugly. However, they are quite quick in acceleration believe or not.

Sheesh, who cares who likes or doesn't like a particular brand of car, or any product, for that matter,...if you don't like something, DON'T BUY IT! If someone likes something you don't like...that doesn't mean they're stupid, it just means they don't agree with you!

If a company makes something that nobody likes, they go out of business (unless it's GM or Chysler, of course).

The 2010 Camry SE look good though with its more sporty look and alloy rims compared with the normal Camry LE but thats about it

Perhaps its because I am still young and how a car looks is important to me but dont people have any taste or sense of style? Even with all the recall issues I still see Toyotas EVERYWHERE on the roads when I am out driving. I mean dont people have a desire to be different and not boring and gray like Toyota and their cars? Its like watching these convoys of Camries, Corollas, Priuses, and Rav-4's on the road

I own a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 S, which even as old as it is, it is still eye-catching to many people. I usually get complements on the chrome tail-lights, among other things. My car looks and runs like brand new because of how I keep it. But I am not biased against Toyota because I drive a Nissan. I have NEVER liked Toyota even long before I bought my car

Does anybody else here not like Toyotas cars, or am I just weird?
I don't know about dislike but in an adult life of about 30 cars, I've never owned one. I don't recall avoiding them, they just never appealed to me.
