Reminder, not all recent-ish Toyotas are beige

Like the Caldina GT-Four. Sold until 2007. AWD wagon with a 3S-GTE putting out 260 horses.

I am not sure if they ever sold it in brown.

Love them. I saw two in Torrance (near the Toyota headquarters) not sure what they were doing here, though.

Camry, Corolla, Prius, and Yaris are all snooze-fests. Same can be said for RAV4, Venza, Highlander, and Sequoia. But I don't find Avalon, 4Runner, Tundra, Tacoma, or Land Cruiser to be all that offensive. And Siennas make decent taxis.

Those were never sold in the US. So Toyota USA is still beige and boring.

Gran Turismo learnt me about this car. Its a good match stock-for-stock with a Skyline Steaga. Good times.

In Europe it's just as bad. The lineup is a huge snoozefest. Auris, Avensis, Yaris, Verso, all the Prius versions, they're all horrible. The only real exception is the GT86 (Scion FRS in the US).

Previous gen RAV4 with the V6 was sorta bonkers. It was sorta like a cute ute muscle car with too much power for its diminutive size. Loads of fun off the starting line, but not that great in the handling department.

Yep, I just described a muscle car, that's actually a RAV4.

Other markets get all sorts of cool ones we don't, but we do get the 86, and we still get the Land Cruiser even though they probably sell 12 a year or something.

Swapping into a 93 celica convertible. Engine is dismantled right now, about to start putting everything back together.
