The line between your posts and an Onion style parody post is getting perilously thin

Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I go on The Camry Effect and laugh at the statistics. It's down right now, but one of my personal favorites is "10% of Camry drivers are left handed".

10% of people are left handed.

Think that's a Corolla.

Just remember they still make things like this, and that makes you somewhat okay with the Camry effect.

Toyota makes great cars, I don't even have a downer on the Camry or Corolla, but their social marketing team is hilariously bad. but grazi for the cruiser vid.

Never underestimate the confidence that feeling grounded to the ground can inspire.

No. One of them is not...

Oh I have no problems with the Camry or the Corolla, they are cockroaches in a good way. Toyota's marketing department on the other hand...

Why can't they market worth a damn?! they have all the monies! Hey Toyota USA, we get it, the Camry and Corolla exist, how about marketing some of your other cars.

Because let's face it, if they didn't blow up social media with it, people would probably forget the Corolla exists.

Don't forget the "Swagger Wagon," aka the Sienna.

Okay, I HATE the swagger wagon ads, but they DID at least resonate with the target audience. These social posts are just inane, non-communicative noise. Its like they just have a machine with a few key words and a link to a picture database that keeps chunkin' out there. My displeasure for Toyota video marketing, however, is also duly noted

That video... really? That was an actual commercial? Wow. I see what you mean.

Kinja'd!!!

Well, they also (technically, badge engineering) made these...

Lexus is Toyota's luxury branch, so it's a little bit more than badge engineered. Plus, Toyota owns a large chunk of Yamaha.

Yeah, Lexus, and especially Lexus F, is what happens when Toyota engineers can finally stretch their brain muscles instead of making boring beige shit buckets on wheels. Yamaha helped tune the LFA's godly exhaust note, too.
