oops that was a *Nissan* Pathfinder... with a bent frame from driving it into a USMC 2 man fighting hole during training in Quantico Va. I only had it 2 weeks before I bent it grrr. Even though it was never quite straight, it was a great truck.

Toyota is my favorite car brand.

Supra was my childhood dream car but I couldn't afford to get one

I got a used camry as my first car and didn't have any problems with it. My second car was a 4runner.
Got an Acura TL after the 4runner and had so many problems and wasn't impressed with performance.
Got a highlander after the TL, awesome SUV and is currently my daily driver.
Bought a 370z because I wanted a sports car and it looks kinda similar to a Supra. Currently saving up money to buy another toy once I get bored with the Z.
Originally started saving for a GT-R, but I really think my next car will be a Toyota. I'm waiting to see what the next gen IS-F will look like

Once I save up enough money, I think I may keep the 370z as my daily driver, sell my highlander and get a Land Cruiser and turn it into an offroad/rock crawling toy
not really sure yet, just depends on how good the next gen IS-F is or if I still have supercar fever lol

I had 3 camrys and a MKIII supra before my Z. My family is all toyotas. I'm so sick of camrys, you won't catch me ever buying one for myself. Even if I need a sedan I'm going to look long and hard for something more inspired than that POS...

*sigh* I used to love Toyota. From their All-Trac Celica to the mighty MKIV Supra, I loved their cars. After the Supra though, they took a massive decline in my book. They're still pretty reliable and low maintenance vehicles. But they are fugly and boring as all hell! I've also come to find that Camry drivers are mostly horrible drivers and a$$holes to boot. I got a Camry rental when I owned a 2009 Altima. I have to say the Altima blows it away. So much more for the money and drove nicer IMO. I just think Toyota has gotten complacent being on top for so many years that they no longer care about their customers. The Supra could still be my favorite car I've owned. But the Z is growing on me every day. Why Toyota stopped making the 2JZGTE was the dumbest thing they ever did. That motor was amazing!

Actually, I correct myself. Camry drivers aren't as bad as Prius drivers. WTF? They speed more than any other car I've seen. They act like they own the road and have 500hp under the hood. Turn that ugly POS down a notch b!tch.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, SIR! I wish that the prius drivers that I meet on the road drove like you describe. I want those fuckers out of my way. I can't tell you how often I have to weave through a group of cars on the highway just to find that all the traffic is caused by some little **** prius going 50 in the fast lane. I have yet to meet a prius driver that speeds, those little ***** are constantly in my way. They can all die for all I care. What kind of hippy **** drives a prius anyway?

Ugh angry words. If you drive a prius I hate you. I'll like you again when you're back in your Z.

(Yes, bro I am so mad!)

My friend drives a Pry-us, he drives like a MANIAC!
He used to drive a G35, but he gave it up for the Pry-uswhen his mom got diagnosed with cancer because it has a better ride (she has multiple myeloma which caused her spine to literally shatter) and the cancer center is 50 miles each way

But for the most part, Pry-us drivers drive like their car doesn't get enough MPG, LOL

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.

Contrary to some beliefs... Not all AT shifted cars are made the same. Some are exciting, others are boring as shyt.

Agree

I have no issue with toyota's of they past. They are legendary. I have issues with Toyota's since around 2002-2003.

Jasonle · 03-19-2013, 07:33 AM

i love both my toyota's. The 1998 avalon has a 199K + miles and still running good. The 1995 supra (got a half a month ago) has a 115K miles and still runs good so far.

Wife's Prius has been trouble free and bullet proof for 5 years. No SLU issues there!

cossie1600 · 03-19-2013, 01:36 PM

Hmmm okay. You going to tell us all Germans are Nazis next? How many times have you taken your z to the track? My Prius has been on it three times already. The Prius I rented from the airport finished 5th out of 19 at a rallycross, is that too slow for you too? There is also ice racing that the Prius can do.

This is a fair point. You're right about that. A friend and I were talking about a recent test drive he had with a paddle-shift car. He said the shifts were terribly slow compared to others he had driven. So, kudos to Toyota if they make a good paddle shifting AT.

This is pretty incredible that many of you guys feel the same way about Toyota Motor Company as I do . . hahaha. Did not expect this many replies to the topic. Thanks
