Yaris Hatch @ 2017 OC Auto Show

Should be a case study in marketing guys messing up design. 2007 hatch was by outside firm. Notably functional, with rounded theme in overall and detail. Notice how they continue to add creases and edges--the C-pillar mod.
But the worst is continued use of style w/ no function... large area of FAKE grill.
The whole industry is at Detroit circa 1959--tailfins, chrome larded quarters and complicated faces. Is C-HR the Edsel? (note the wacky tv ads that manage to avoid showing any view of it for more than half a second...particularly the nose.)

Interesting; didn't know that.
