When Toyota had *****.......
Funny but I never owned a Toyota and to be honest, not a huge Toyota fan. I do love their methods of business and their execution and how they just dominate in most categories.
When I was younger, those cars were something to think about. Today, the poor Toyota fan has nothing to get a hard on about, unless you find a Camry SE stimulating......You have to jump to Scion....even Lexus offers no coupe outside the SC 430, which is simply not what most young kids want.
Sad really....

The Celica GT4/All Trac is by far my favorite car ever, hands down.
I would love to see it brought back and compete with (and demolish ) the Evo and WRX.
It'll probably never happen though

The only Toyotas (not including Lexus) my family has ever owned were an MR2 and a Supra. It'll probably stay that way until something major changes over there. The only Toyota I'd look at buying would be a 4Runner. Their cars are nothing special, they're just bland.

Good thread.
I think most of us respect Toyota's dominance in quality high volume manufacturing processes and a lot of the good ergonomics and function design in the line-up. To grow they decided to focus on the broadest segments of the market and not niches like sporty coupes which never sell in high numbers.
They're a very 'rational' company, but with little (almost NO) passion, emotion, art in anything really, except maybe the exotic but far off LF-A.
But hey, most people want bland and reliable.

Amazing. The teases and concepts are tiring. If you are young, you probably don't even know Toyota exists outside of getting your moms hand me down Camry.
