Products are amazing.
That's because it's truly stunning to see how they can evolve over time — at least how your perspective can change on something.
Let me tell you a story. When the all-new Toyota Camry made its debut, I remember it like it was yesterday. The car was prominently displayed on a stand and, boy, it was a bold design.
Though the company was known for producing bland vehicles that were as inspired as a bar of soap, this time it was different. This time it took a page out of Lexus' powerful design playbook. It has a prominent front grille, sweeping lines everywhere and even fake grilles.
I hated it immediately.
Fast forward to today. I am seeing these Camry vehicles everywhere; however, something has changed. It's me. I have actually found myself thinking "Damn, in silver, the Camry actually looks SHARP."
Say what?
Having said that, I've got to ask: WHICH all-new vehicle design that you originally HATED, has GROWN on you?
