    I like how this story continues the Scottish thread from yesterday:

    Fiery crashes over floor mats, viral marketing that's scaring customers...things haven't been this exciting for Toyota since they got rid of the JZA80 Supra.

    Some Cali woman looking for an easy payout. Although I believe she might not win this as she signed up to be part of this promotion. I am sure there is a waiver. Wish people would smarten up and read the fine print and contest/rules.

    Toyota says it's the dollar, and not the fact that they are trying to terrorize people into buying their white bread, that is causing them financial woe

    While I tend to agree that completely unrelated advertising efforts like this have always seemed ludicrously pointless to me, her reaction makes me sincerely hope she gets hit by a bus.

    Criminal or not, I'd be excited he was bringing one of those powered hover-board-thingys from "Back to the Future II".

    edit: It would be great to take photos of it propped up against the flying DeLorian I'm rebuilding!

    @PetroSapien: Usually I'm not one of those spelling Nazis, but having owned one it's quite bothersome seeing it misspelled. It's DeLorean.

    Sorry, I just had to do it.

    Here's an entirely new way to use the words "gag" and "Toyota" in the same sentence.

    A perfect stablemate for my metallic cherry-red 2004 Oldsmobile Alero and my silver 2001 Plymouth Neon.


    The big three really know how to go out with style, don't they?

    Not without precedent... weren't the last of the Packards rather thinly rebadged Studebakers...? Not that Studebaker "triumphed" over stablemate Packard, it just managed to survive for a few more model years under its own name.

    Just a completely off the wall thought, but what if TOYOTA BOUGHT PONTIAC!


    Think about it...


    Toyota in my opinion desperately needs a "performance" infusion.


    Bring back the Toyota 3S-GTE engine (PLEASE!!!) and drop it in the Vibe with AWD and a 6-speed manual!


    Bring back a first generation-like Fiero / MR2 with the Toyota supercharged 4A-GZE engine.


    Bring back the GTO / Supra with the LS3 and keep the G8 as a Sedan equivalent.


    Toyota and their solid reputation complete with Genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin Bindings, these cars would sell...


    I'd buy one (maybe two)!

    @POLAЯ WUZ EATED BY ZOMBIES: They've already got Scion, which I thought was supposed to be their sorta sporty-tuner-buzzword-youthoriented brand. You know, Pontiac, for those damn Gen-Y kids. Sadly, "We build quirk. Pontiac!" just doesn't have the same ring.

    Even in death, they're denied dignity.


    The car that should've been a Pontiac Badged WRX, but is instead a rebadged competitor's product, and a reantal-only unloved midsize is how they go out.


    I'm sorry, Pontiac.
