Toyota C-HR by TRD shows polarizing design

In addition to the wildly styled C-HRs, the company has tuned 86s and a bizarre Hi-Ace minivan.

Where Subaru is pushing performance that this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota is taking a broader and much weirder direction. Among the company’s diverse lineup, there is a pair of TRD-tuned C-HRs with body kits so wild that we wonder how many people would actually want one.

The Aggressive Style C-HR in white and Extreme Style example in yellow certainly live up to their respective names. Both features road-scraping front fascias and massive side sills. The Aggressive Style has a larger rear wing on the roof and lip spoiler on the hatch. A simulated diffuser makes the look even more radical. Alternatively, the Extreme Style has red mud flaps that wouldn’t look out of place on a rally car.

Is this a rebadged Pontiac Aztec with plastic bits from the Gen1 Chevy Avalanche?

"Polarizing" is the PC word for "frightfully ugly", right? Reminds me of the much-maligned Pontiac Aztec.

Surely we have reached Peak Origami. I need to look at some old Jaguar E-Type photos to get my eyes back.

toyotachrsg: Let us know what kind of wording appears in your Singapore blog, whether it's along the lines of "some American viewers were less than enthused about it's bold and assertive styling" or more like "it was met with near universal disgust by American audiences."
