why Is EVERYONE copying us? (rant)

One ugly truck! Chevy stated they used focus groups to help choose the design.

That actually makes a lot of sense. That truck is so Fugly it could only have been a product of design by committee.

Toyota Tacoma with the Raptor grill in my town. Thinks he's pretty sharp I guess. Poor soul, I thought of buying a Tacoma but just couldn't stand the Yota crowd's arrogance about their trucks.
You do realize Yota Trucks are better than anything EVER made!

My wife calls them "Zero Heroes". It started off because of those fake grills that used to say "0000", but due to the letter blocking kinda looked like our "FORD" unless you looked close. Now it applies to all the copycats. It makes seeing them way more fun, especially since it's my wife saying it! "OOOOH! A zero hero!!"

Couldn't drive something called a "****", ok, TRD.

The toy makers at yota....(sorry)...also started the *****-stamp thing. I thought it was hilarious...and accurate...ahem. Then my beloved FoMoCo copied it with the F150 in giant letting on the tailgate so....errrm...uhhhh...nothing to see here.

But of we want to talk about automotive designers failing to even copy others....I submit this!

Is this a refrigerator?

I remember hearing about the focus groups. The biggest request was to change the DEF tank. GM listened, they changed it and made it bigger lol! Longer and wider

this is funny - saw a dodge 2500 cummins lifted with a fake raptor 3 LED wannabe grill in it just yesterday. made me chuckle.

Lol!! There’s a kid here that took a 95 Ford150 single cab and stuck Raptor front everything body and the bed on it. Off two different recked Raptors.
I’ll get pictures as soon as I can catch him.

Isn’t copying the best form of flattery?

Giving cash would be a better form....just sayin'

I don't like the turn we're making here fellas. Shouldn't ridicule some teenager or poor working dude just because he wants to make his ride look cooler. I recall putting racing stripes on a 1974 Datsun and I was proud, it was all I had.

Now the modern urban upwardly mobile 30-50 year old talking crap about his Toyota (which is fine) who then tries to make it look like a Raptor? That dude deserves to be humiliated!

Carry on!
