If you exclude the front lights, could the design be any more bland and uninspiring? :sleep1zh::sleep1zh::sleep1zh: The headlight graphics make it look hypnotized.
 
The front-end reminds me of a Ridgeline mixed with an Toyota FJ Cruiser...The rear end however, reminds of a Dodge. Still, I can't complain. I quite like it.
