    All Toyota seems to be interested in offering is Trucks, midsize 4-door sedans, and the Prius. Corolla FX-16? No. Corolla hatchback/wagon? No. Celica GT? No.

    How about a performance car? I don't mean a $40,000 luxury 2-seater..I mean a practical daily driver for the average person with some fun built in. I don't see anything like that from Toyota.

    Fascinating how different Toyota's PR tact in handling depressed sales compared to, say, GM. No denial here.

    Er, guys, it's called being modest. Who here really believes Toyota is tanking? Almost every automaker is down by at least 27% in sales this year. Toyota is still one of the strongest, if not the strongest car maker in the world. Just because this guy, in a very Japanese fashion, makes a humble statement, everyone thinks the sky is falling down?

    As an American I don't want what Americans want, which is oversized, heavy chasis, SPINNAZ, numb handling, manumatic, 50 cup holders, and plastic over my engine bay.

    No one in the US wanted exciting cars so automakers around the planet had to cater to that. Plus new models introduced means new liabilities and we are all to eager to sue the fuck out of companies. I know this is a rant BUT there is a reason why Europe, Asia and Australia get cool cars from GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc.

    People all over the auto blogs are whining about how Toyota stopped building fun cars. Well, it seems in part that Toyota stopped building them because no-one was buying them. The '93+ Supra priced itself out of the market. Maybe it should have been badged a Lexus and given a new name. The 2nd and 3rd generation MR2s faded away because of lack of sales. You think the Celica would have died had people bought them in decent numbers? Sporty Corolla coupes and hatches? No-one cared since the late '80s, so they went bye-bye.

    Yeah, Toyota is nothing more than an appliance brand in the US - the Kenmore of the automotive world. We are to blame for that as much as Toyota.

    In the Belgium harbor of Zeebrugge, 175.000 new cars are waiting for clients. It is the largest parking area in the world; 742 acres.

    Hmm... There is a cubic buttload of unused shipping containers right now just sitting around stacked and empty.


    You could probably roll a couple Toyotas into each one and then stack 'em Wall-e style.
