Their line: a yaris (chick car), a corrolla (a no-style chick car), a camry (a no style car period), a highlander (probably the best offering for them, but still snooze-worthy), a rav4 (blah), FJ Cruiser (what in the hell is that?), and their minivan. Wow! That line up of super special cars makes me want to wake up in the morning! I mean, they are all really cool, right? Maybe when they had the supra, but now? Being a Toyota fan is like being a fan of McDonalds. I'll take a number 3, please....with a sunroof, because that'll make this car super hot....and make this Yaris red. Bland. Boring. Commuter cars.
