I would rather spread the boredom than to spread the money to Saudi Cheiks that buy golden Touaregs

Toyota is now dead to me as an enthusiast. I'll put money that the FT-86 with it's Japanese retro RX-7/Supra/tC/Celica looks will also be a hybrid similar to the Honda CR-Z.

I don't believe anything Toyota says anymore. They're recalls has tainted their image drastically. Boredom is one thing but poor build quality is/was all they had left!!!!..

Toyota Asia is another story. Much better cars than here.

Manfuacturers are going this direction because they need to up the average mileage of their fleets. Since OVERALL mileage of a lineup must be at a certain mpg they need these fuel sippers to help out the guzzlers.

My next car will probably be my last for a long time, unless they get smart and start bringing wagons back.
