Generic not AT ALL

Obvious answer is that it's not generic.

You should have asked them what other cars they thought were generic or even what cars look like this

I don't think they really know what "generic" is.

Based on the sheer number of "what they hell is that" questions I have been asked while driving it I would say it is anything but generic. When a soccer mom, 18 year old kid, 50 year old guy and more chase you down to ask you because they have never seen anything like it I would say that fails the "generic" test.

Well, good to know I'm alone thinking it looks like somebody squished a Prius and gave it plastic surgery to make the nose and ass look like a 300zx.

not generic at all. Seriously... our cars look awesome in the crowd. It's short, aggressive, low, and best of all... enjoyable.

Generic design? On the exterior no way, perhaps favoring a more minimalism approach but the curves are done very elegantly. Considering the cost of the car, you really can't complain.

When I think of a "generic" exterior design to cars which I wish the manufacturer provided a little more effort, the Evo and '13 Genesis Coupe come to mind (no offense to anyone who owns those.)

The Honda accord does... Generic cars do win awards... They're just not exciting to enthusiasts..

A LOT of it has to do with color. Drive a red, orange or yellow (I know, custom paint) one and no one will tell you this car is generic. It looks aggressive as hell. Especially the Toyota/Scion version with the aggressive front bumper.

I like the looks of these cars.. They are not generic looking.. In fact I'm surprised at how good they look especially when u consider their price point...
Even more so when you consider the sporty nature of the car.. This car is bound to be a classic... Toyota is trying to break ground with young buyers in a segment where it's weak... So they are offering a lot of car for the money..
I think this is one of the best sports car bargains out there... Period..
Especially from a purists standpoint...
RWD, light weight, boxer engine, Great handling... And affordable..
These are the good ole days!
