Toyotas are ok. Cheap reliable boring family cars.

They can be fun to drive, but so can most any modern car. Every boring joe daily driver can have an AT with sport shift dropped in it.

I loved the Toyota of the 80's and 90's. The first gen MR2 was a blast to drive. I can only imagine that's the same for the next MR2, then the MR-S, and of course the Supra.

I want Toyota to get back to making enthusiast vehicles instead of only making slow cars to congest the suburban highway.

Lexus is a little different, but not by much. I don't pay that money for a BMW, I would certainly not drop it on a more boring Lexus. Also, personal biases being what they are, put a manual transmission in one of those overweight dogs, would ya?

Also, I think the FR-S is a fantastic direction for the company. They should have released it as a Toyota FT-86, but what's done is done.

Edit: I forgot to touch on Toyota Trucks, which I understand are excellent. I'm just not a truck guy.
