So here is the real story as I see it, those 6 people standing infront of the Tundra, were thinking about buying it, but after your sales FORD sales pitch, each of those 6 people bought 2 Tundra's each.
Did you drive by a Ford Dealership on the same drive and see how many people were standing infront of a new F150? I hope not, because the math involved would make your head explode.

Now, THAT'S some funny ****, right there!
I just can't get over the people that buy a truck with a 5' box. WTF you gonna do with that?
The whole country would be better off by outlawing them. That way the peeps that buy these ridiculous trucks to commute to work, would be forced to buy something that actually gets more than 16MPG. Allowing more, and cheaper, fuel for us that actually use our trucks.

But fitting in that Mustang or just about anything else that is made today is as impossibe to do as a mule is at pro-creating.

well its pretty obvious they are not to educated by building the monstrocity ... i saw one today driving down the road in my ranger good god ... I must say that I was fairly disappointed.. I actually thought the previous Tundra look decent bland maybe, but decent something i might actually concider owning.. but this truck no way in hell. and i dont give a damn how much horse and torque its got i dont like the way it looks at all and it most certainly isn't something i would want to spend $30-40,000 on.Who the hell wants to drive around in something that looks like something that came out of one the Japenese comic books ( graphic novels)? . IMHO the asian vehicle stylist have got to be the worst i've ever seen (not that F/G/D are all that either) but it seems as if they can never get it right.. It is either TOO BOLD or TOO Bland Too Far or Not Far enough and none of which looks good in my eyes

Calling Tundra owners idiots now? The irony. I'm thinking the heaviest thing you haul in your "beast" is that piece of iron between your ears.

And if you think the Tundra is ugly, wait till you see some of the French vehicle designs. In two words, they are: HID EOUS!
Wanna see some a those frog designs? Get your barf bag ready..and go to worldcarfans.com
Come to think of it, you'd look good in a Smart, coming soon to your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.

I genuinely REALLY like most French car designs.
In fact... the Traction Avant, has to be one of the coolest looking cars ever...
Even today, a Focus, or this:?
As for the Tundra's looks. American influenced indeed... I don't think any Japanese stylist would pen his name to that.
They (for the most part) are pretty conservative. I know the bodykits on your local ricer dissuades this trend... but for the most part, they are.
