why the hell does toyota makes inclined cars? way higher in the back than the front.

also, when you look at it from the back it looks very messy, i can see the exhaust pipe, the muffler, the trunk and a bunch of other crap.

they dont look clean and tucked away.

all toy cars (models) seem to have this same sloppy look.

The "Sloppy" work is for a reason, especially the exhaust, it hangs down for a safety reason, in case of a rear end crash, it will bent down and not go up into the cabin.

And the car is inclined because (1) it looks better that way, (2) to compensate for the bigger wheel gap in the front due to the front suspension. and (3) for aerodynamics.

I don't understand what you mean by "I can see the muffler and trunk." Uh... you can see the muffler and trunk from behind ANY car...

if you see from behind you can see the big bottom trunk liner in the middle.

it seems like the muffler is way too big, a smaller muffler would look so much better.

You can't see the muffler on many cars actually. For instance, the 2003-2006 Benz S-Class and ML-Class.

Or the Toyota Echo, Gen6 Camry (supposing you have an SE), etc.

Just put a paper bag over it.

Your comparing a 50-60,000 dollar car to a mid $20,000 car......

u could crash the car and get a different one...I like my Camry

CamrySExxx · 08-03-2007, 05:30 PM

from the back u can see the muffler and hte trunk ? wtfff? stick your exhaust out the side and shave your trunk ?

TRD VVTi · 08-03-2007, 05:31 PM

I would imagine trunk space is one of the reasons.

If you don't like it so much, sell it and get something else.

IPDaily · 08-03-2007, 06:05 PM

i never found the 07's to be any less than clean, sleek and elegant...

2k4CamThrilla · 08-03-2007, 06:24 PM

Also your tires on your don't look like the stock wheel requirement...They look smaller then stock..

Hey! That's my car!

Anyway, it appears that you added something extra to the tail pipe. Or maybe it just came that way. My tailpipe is not that bad.

If you don't like your car, sell it to someone who will like it and get yourself another car.

carlo$ · 08-03-2007, 09:14 PM

sorry guys, that is not my car, i borrowed the pics for reference. i have a 100 stock LE I4.

Avalonman · 08-03-2007, 09:24 PM

yea, agree with everyone else. If you dont like it, get something else. To me, it gives Toyota(and a few other automakers) a distinct style cue. Its nice to me.
