michael Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Once upon a time there was a company called Toyota, in the 1990's they made some nice cars, then many years later they got very, very dull. They woke up and decided to stop making bland cars like this: http://www.automotorclub.com/articole/the-car-of-the-year-2005/toyota-corolla.jpg The PR people said it was time to move forward, bring out a cutting-edge machine to do away with the amazingly dull Corolla, the audience expected something radical like the new Civic, maybe even more sci-fi. Toyota gave us this: http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/article/11814484.jpg WTF! It's almost the dame crappy car! Years ago Japanese customers could buy cars from Toyota that looked like this: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/mystery/DCP_2524.jpg Surely this "old" car would have been far more interesting to import to replace the Corolla? Have you been in a dealership recently? See anything exciting? Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ^ Looks fun (the one in the 1st post) - a little like the new Astra... but for some reason their sales are rocketing so they couldnt care less I spose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm looking forward to the production of the new Hybrid - should at least spur on some more enthusiastic designs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Scion is where toyotas funky designs for the youth seem to be these days. The Tc is a cool car. Toyotas generally are now for middle age people who just want something reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
