What do you mean 'what do I find aesthetic?' ...the look of them aka their aesthetics.

You've contradicted yourself. You need to look up the word aesthetics.

Just what about being functional or non-functional has anything to do with aesthetics?

..even looking functional or non functional.

what if he wants it to look non-functional?.. see what I'm saying?

Aesthetics is based solely on opinion.

As a designer working professionally I can assure you that is a fact.

I'm not surprised that people don't like it..

People are generally followers, they don't like what they don't understand. His motivations are different than yours.

If you read more carefully you'd have noticed that I said,

'I understand if it's not your cup of tea'

What I don't understand is all the negativity.. like why people are so mad..

Let me put it in perspective ; I don't like lifted trucks at all but when I see one that I think looks

exceptionally dumb (which happens often) you know what I do?.. nothing.. I really just don't waste my time commenting.

Some of the comments on Stance Nation's post of this celica make me sick.

People are legit emotionally distraught and yes, I think its surprising and funny really.

I'm sure Kawashima San would agree.

If its an opinion you have, back it up with some intelligent reasoning..

not just calling it 'Fvcking garbage' or an 'awful build'

Why is it awful?.. Maybe your minds are all just so narrow that you're

totally non empathetic to those who have a different opinion than you.. sounds like idiocy to me.

Seriously who wrote the book that says you must build a celica this way or else its ugly..

please.. show me where this is written.

If you can find me that book I'll read it..

Then I'll get you a book..

an art history text book ; so you can learn a little something about artistic exploration and

abstraction.. or maybe about art on a found canvas which is exactly what this build is.

I'd even go so far as to call it satirical art.


No hard feelings though, I just love a good debate.

And yes, since everyone is entitled to their opinion, why are you surprised that a lot of people don't like this awful build? They are also allowed to express their views.

Don't be pedantic, I know exactly what aesthetics are.

You are missing the core of my question: explain why you find this setup pleasing to the point where you absolutely must tell opposing opinions to shut it.

My characterization of this setup as non-functional was obviously a tongue-in-cheek satirical counterpoint to your use of the word aesthetic, but you obviously missed that too.

That's only how YOU would apparently act.
I still fail to see why you think others can't act differently when expressing their views on the subject.

Now you're contradicting yourself. So others can only have a different opinion than you if they write a full essay to explain their reasoning? Why can't you accept a simple "I hate it. It's awful" as an opposing opinion.
Let me remind you that you still haven't explained WHY you like this travesty of a setup.

How ironic. A debate is seeing every side of the issue. It would hardly be a "debate" if those who hate this build can't say so publicly, now would it?

:shrugs: I didn't like it before, but I do now. It's so over the top and ridiculous, and it's obviously meant to be. This Celica illicits so many responses varying from appreciation, awe, shock and disgust. Hell, it's one way to make this old car still relevant.
