Now PakWheels has told us https://www.pakwheels.com/blog/toyota-revealed-new-generation-vellfire-alphard/ that the “powerful stance of a Charging Bull” the design inspiration for the new Alphard and Vellfire. Just like the Verossa, which was “a Crouching Cat ready to pouncehttps://carspiritpk.com/remembering-the-toyota-verossa/, Toyota doesn’t seem to convert “animal stances” into automotive designs very successfully.

Moreover which car do you remember when a Bull is mentioned? Lamborghini of course, which has a “Raging Bull” insignia. Again, Japanese manufacturers “Taking inspiration” and “paying homage” to Eurocentric designs. At least the Europeans are correct about it: a sports car is more akin to be reminiscent of a bull, a commuter van should be reminiscent of a … donkey, maybe?

The picture of the vellfire. It’s supposed to be a color picture of the vehicle. Yet the vehicle colors are so bland it’s making a color picture look gray and dull… 😶

1) In Pakistan too, minivans, microvans and MPVs must be adopted as family transportation and VIP shuttles. People generally overload 63 family members into their Honda City and the wadera begumaat use Revo Rocco aka labor dala as their VIP vehicle of choice.

2) The “accelerator pedal stroke has been shortened” means this vehicle is not for learners.

The whale-mouth grill. The microscopic windows. The bulging waist-lines and the dented door.
Too much curvature on the sides and too flat front, bonnet and roof.
