    1985 Tercel 4WD Wagon: The Official Car of Santa Claus

    Ever since we had an '85 Tercel 4WD wagon on DOTS, I've been trying to find an ad for the thing to use in this series. Yes, it's a hokey Christmas-themed ad, but at least there's some low-yield hoonage involved. Was 1985 the high-water mark for Toyota, before the accountants took over and focus-grouped the life out of their vehicles?
