Cannot find a picture of one which is no bad thing.

Seen a couple in the flesh so to speak, what an appauling piece of design (if you can call it design). It really is an abomination of a car and i do not know how anyone could choose it over say the new Mazda 6, Honda Accord, Mondeo, BM3, etc.

It really is a car for the retired.
I am sure it is well built and all that it is just so ugly and plain.

The new Honda Accord has got to be the sexiest rep mobile on the road at the moment. I think it will take the place of the IS200.

The new Avensis, looks a little Vectorish IMHO. The new accord looks really good. Shame there's no type R version though

I think what happened is when Vauxhall realised that the Vectra was a hideous lump, they sacked the designer responsible and he immediately began work for Toyota, only by now he'd developed a drink problem. Poor guy, his career is in a downward spiral, his next job is a facelift for the Fiat Multipa...

I saw a BROWN colour Toyota Avensis today. It didn't help.

The estate is a lot better integrated shape though.

And then they run an ad trying to make out that people will actually be impressed by a car like that
