Just My O. Thanks for posting.

I was out with cgfen and I told him how much I hate the rear designs of 2-tiered rear ends. He told me thats called a bangle butt. Thanks for educating me further on this with the thread. I see others hate it as well.

I see toyota is using this design as well. I hate it even more! The prius is down right ugly, the camry is the new blue hair coupe! Did you see consumer reports will not rubber stamp their seal of approval on their cars anymore? With some key execs leaving, maybe the car company is in for trouble. It all goes back to the bangle butt!
