Toyota preps an all-new Highlander with new styling, interior refinements and an extra seat, but gone is the four-cylinder option.

I am struggling with the exterior styling of the new Highlander especially the front grill.

I still find it interesting, that the Venza weighs 4000lbs, and the 2013 Highlander weighs 4200lbs. Will the new 8 passenger Highlander weight less than the 5 seater Venza...?  Toyota should drop the ground clearance an 1" on the Venza, and have 17" wheels for the 4 cylinder, and 18" for the V6, and get rid of 250lbs.  That would be great!

The exterior design reminds me of the current Kia Sorento.  Not bad, but not awesome.  I'm sure it'll grow on me.

That front end is not attractive at all and again, another manufacturer that doesnt think whats going to cost to repair a vehicle after an accident. Thats a whole lotta nose to bash with very little bumper to protect it. Come on Toyota, I know you can do better!!

From straight on it kind of looks like a Tundra ate a Subaru.

That tray area under the dash is cheesy looking and makes the interior look like a 90's minivan.
