Some sort of brand image that isn't beige vomit.

What they need is THIS.

Kinja'd!!!

RALLY THE SHIT OUT OF ALL YOUR CARS, MAKE THE CAMRY A WRX COMPETITOR, CALL IT THE CAMRY GT-FOUR, MAKE TMG BUILD YOUR PERFORMANCE CARS HAVE YOU SEEN HOW FAST THE TS040 IS?!?!?!?

I seriously think Toyota can flip their brand completely into one that builds serious rally cars. I know they're making a comeback, and that makes me happy.

Maybe we will get a new Celica out of this??

Ok, I need to stop. My erection is getting out of hand.

The point is they didn't USED to be lame, and they have so much history and awesomeness they could potentially cash in on, but instead they insist on marketing and selling appliances. Even if it were just one or two cars...but no. Camrys sell. Turbo AWD Celicas were and would again be very expensive and not sell.

Wouldn't there closest match be the Corolla to the WRX? But if your going after whats in that picture you would have to go for the FR-S and give that AWD which would be awesome.

only enthusiasts think this. I find no car to be boring or beige. Toyota has an amazing motorsport history and Akio is the most Jalpp of the CEO's. They are FIA WEC champs, the GT86 triples are incredible, Lexus has very capable RWD cars and are build very well for future jalops. I see the beating of Toyotas on the same level as the fucking childish car propaganda like "American cars can handle" or "German cars are all far superior examples of engineering" ALL FUCKING BULLSHIT that enthusiasts keep fueling!

Horseshit! Why am I always defending our creed, "Drive Free or Die?"

I'm around enthusiast cars everyday and bust my ass on them for a living. Everything everyone clowns of Toyota for I see everyday on these cars and their owners.

Even if they come out with a RWD manual 2JZ Camry, the childish stigma will always live on.

I'm no enthusiast, I'm better than that, I'm an OPPOnaut! Give me a base Corolla and i'll show you how much fucking fun I can have in it!

I'd rather see them in WRC than WRX, but I'd guess that the latter has a lower financial commitment.

Now now gentlemen - some people don't want a fun car, they want one to pilot from point A to point B with no drama. Sure, sometimes point B is the front a grocery store ....

My plan for Toyota:

Corolla- Kill

Camry- Kill deader than dead.

Prius- Dead as possible.

Scion- Take Fr-S, Kill everything else.

Fr-s- Give to Toyota. Gt-86.

Gt-86- More Power.

Tacoma- Fine.

Tundra- Whatever.

Sienna- Burn. A lot.

Yaris- Ha. (Burn)

Highlander- My ass (That means kill)

Avalon- Burn a little bit. (Not a little bit, a lot)

Venza- Drive through a window.

4Runner- Keep.

Sequoia- Keep it I guess.

FJ Cruiser- Kill a little bit.

Land Cruiser- Combine the little bit from the FJ Cruiser, and create a proper J80 tribute.

Rav4- Annihilate.

________________________________________________________________

Survivors:

Gt-86.

4-Runner

Less expensive Land Cruiser.

__________________________________________________________________

Introduce:

Celica Rally Car.

Supra.

Supra.

Another Supra.

Ae86 Tribute.

Yup! Toyota needs to XRS all their models, and Lexus need to F all theirs. Bring back the 2ZZ.

Yaris XRS, Corolla XRS, Camry XRS, Avalon XRS, Venza XRS, Sienna XRS, Rav4 XRS, Highlander XRS, Land Cruiser XRS, Tacoma XRS, Tundra XRS, and maybe a Turbo All-Trac model above the XRS.

CT-F, IS-F, ES-F, GS-F, LS-F, RX-F, NX-F, GX-F, LX-F

The Yaris XRS would have a NA 1.5L engine that makes 160 hp. A Turbo All-Trac might have 200 hp, and of course AWD.

The Corolla XRS would have a NA 1.8L making around 200 hp, and the All-Trac would have 250+ hp turbo.

The Camry and Avalon XRS would have a 2.0-2.5L turbo-4 making 300-350 hp; the All-Trac would add AWD. The ES-F would have a turbo-6 making around 400 hp and AWD.

The Sienna, Rav4, Highlander, and Venza XRS models would be similar to the Camry/Avalon XRS, and likewise the Lexus F's would be similar to the ES-F

The LS-F would have a V12 and the SWB.

The trucks (LC, Tundra, Tacoma, etc) would have two versions: teh XRS on-road-oriented sport truck, and an off-road-oriented Raptor-ish truck.
