New “Exotic” SUV’s? Yay or Nay?

The exotic car manufacturers are now moving into the SUV or Sport Utility Vehicle market. Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Masarati and Jaguar have all released concept SUVs coming in the future. The styling of these SUVs is also questionable. Who decided those wheels looked good on the Bentley? The RR looks like a lifted hatchback. The wheels and suicide doors complement the styling. The Lambo looks like an Aventador that has been stretched upwards and also shortened, raised up on 21″s or 22″s. The Aston Martin is just awful and it looks like an Peugeot and an Aston had a baby. The Masarati looks like a GLA and a Quattroporte had a child.

 

On the other hand, the Jag is really handsome, bold and understated at the same time.

In my opinion, the Jaguar is the only exotic SUV that looks remotely acceptable, and if I had $40,000 in my back pocket, this would be the exotic SUV for me.

The 2016 Toyota Prius’s Styling: Yay or nay?

The new Toyota Prius has some bold styling changes for the 2016 model year. The exterior is very similar to the new hydrogen powered Toyota Marai and the interior looks as it is heavily influenced by the current Corolla. The exterior seems as if the designers sharpened the points of the already pointy current Prius. The “invisible” D-pillar gives the new Prius a streamlined look and also creates the illusion of speed even when the car isn’t moving. The oddly shaped zigzag brake lights and large vertical rear window as well as the more curved rear bumper give the Prius a more “happy” expression. The Prius from a side view appears more like a normal car then anything else.
