The Corolla Cross is coming very soon, and with that Toyota Motor Philippines is finally going to devour on a piece of the compact crossover pie. And while spec and pricing details will certainly leak before its launch, let’s talk about one thing: just how sloppy the design is.
You’re not going to hear this from any other local auto website for fear of reprisal from the auto giant, but we’re going to say it anyway: whoever designed this should be sent back to design school. It’s just sloppy. And it’s not just sloppy in a “we don’t care, we’ll just draw character lines” on it sloppy; it’s “we don’t give a crap because we’re going to sell a zillion of these” sloppy.
Much of the vitriol is directed towards that guppy-like front-end. Sure, that face isn’t exactly pretty, but it doesn’t beat what you see on the other end. Just take a look at that badge placement. Oh my god. For some stupid and weird reason, Toyota designers wanted to put “Corolla Cross” on the tailgate garnish, but just look at that execution. It’s just lazy. With the words, “Corolla” in a small script placed on the left and the words, “Cross” in a much larger script placed in the middle, it doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing at all.
This is certainly a candidate for a de-badging job the moment it’s driven off the showroom floor. A piece of advice for Toyota: just move the badge some place else, like, you know, on the other side of the “Hybrid” badge the balance things out? C’mon Toyota, I know you can do better.
