Anyone else think it look like the original Gen I Prius?
 
Esp the C-pillar.
 
Take away the wild paint job and that's what I see.

I just see another car for people who hate cars and driving, this one with some bric-a-brac to fake the unwashed into believing it is sporty or cool

Never would have guessed, but if you paint it white, you're spot on.

The last one suffered some cost cutting, let's see if they re-content this one. Their redesigns have been hit or miss.

With the FT a bit hit, why not use the WRX platform?
 
I don't think Toyota has used a longitudinal layout since....what, the Supra?

Odd, happened when some port installed options were added, it seems.
 
These were vehicles installed with accessories like leather seat covers and headrest DVD systems by Southeast Toyota Distributors

I thought I had misheard the radio story earlier when you posted about the "slew of recalls".
 
This is a slew:

From the article:
"
t's the fourth time since 2010 that Toyota has paid the maximum allowable fine for delaying recalls. In 2010, Toyota paid $48.8 million in civil penalties for failing to recall millions of vehicles, in three separate campaigns, in a timely manner. Toyota said it will restructure its organization to consolidate responsibility for quality assurance and review of safety-related issues in the United States. It did not admit any wrongdoing."

Is it working?
