I've expressed my thoughts on the current front end design trend in an earlier post and again, I have to say, "What's going on with the automotive design teams that has made them so angry"? Ten years ago, cars looked 'happier'.

Maybe it's a sign of the times.

Luis C.K. said it perfectly in his routine he did on Conan O'Brien called Everything is Amazing & Nobody Is Happy. It's hilarious...and accurate.

Maybe car/truck designers need a little dose of the '80s. Everything was great in the '80s. The great '80s. The greaties!

I think the 25s look great My only complaint if I was to buy one would be as you can no longer get the EcoBoost in front wheel drive / two-wheel drive. I have no use whatsoever for an all-wheel drive vehicle or four-wheel drive whatever it is.

Never have when the weather's that bad that it requires four-wheel drive I stay home.

A while ago I created a post showing how we can hide the undesirable look of the '25 front end redesign. (Best Idea Ever)

I realized today, we're just looking at this all wrong. Remember those pictures that can be two things? In this one you either see a chalice (if you focus on the white) or two faces facing each other (if you focus on the black). You see something entirely different depending on which color you focus on.

If you focus on the white you see this

and think this

If you focus on the black you see this

and think this

.

It just depends on what you focus on. From now on I'm focusing on the ominous horns down bull image. "Who's with me? Let's go! Ahhhhhhhh...."
I don't know what you are smoking, but it must be strong... :ROFLMAO:

I’m sorry but nothing can be more ugly than the front end of the new Lexus.
Nah, that isn't even in the running in a world with the Pontiac Aztec!
:shock:

When I first saw one of those, I figured that AMC was somehow back in business!

Well the Volkswagen Thing wins as ugliest car. BUT the new 2025 Maverick front end is just ugly too. I have a 2023 so no worry for me. But I hope they fix it by next version, Doesn't look like Toyota is coming out with any competition.

Somebody at Ford Design is saying at a meeting right now: "I told you so".

It will look better in the dark colors.... but still not as good as the previous years.

When I look at it, I see a truck that I'll pass on and wait for the next model year. :crackup:
Easy for me since I have a '24 Lariat that I love.
Amen brother! I have a 24 Lariat hybrid. I’m good for a few years unless something catastrophic happens.

I saw a few '25s at the dealer today. They look way better in real life than they do in photos. Not bad at all.

Edit: Actually, I just thought I saw '25 Mavericks. My mistake.
