Besides the Maxima, which car do you think has an equal or more controversial tail design?

I mean if you ask me, the Lexus IS and the Impala are BAD. I mean the Altezza style lights on the IS makes the car look like a Corolla, but then again it is built on the same platform.

But man did they screw up the Impala. I still love the 98 style Impala SS.

I was in LA this weekend and I saw so many Lexus IS300s. The car looks like a modded Honda Civic sedan. My friend described it best... "I would never get one because I'd be ready to fight the first person to say 'hey, what kind of mods do you have on your Honda Civic'? Is that the new Corolla? When did they start putting 17" wheels on Corollas?" He has a point. A $35K car should look like it.

As far as the Impala, that car is almost as big a mistake as a Pontiac Aztek. Scary thing is, what if the Maxima grows up to be that big? Hopefully not that ugly!
