I personally like the Toyota idea of a facelift. Its like a spot the difference exercise. Maybe Toyota should give some prizes away to those who can actually tell the difference between the old and new models.
god knows the difference between the new and the old one. bored of such launches.
come up with some eye catching thing
Although I do not own one, I have ridden in one and it is a pretty smooth ride. However, I could never get over the styling of the nose cone. It looks ok in dark colors, but it’s one of those situations where the lighting can make it ugly or beautiful. The rest of the exterior styling is not so bad
ASSOCIATION OF AFFECTED BY TOYOTA
Motor Toyota Corporation is the greater manufacturing car company of the world. Their resources are practically limitless and it uses them, if it is necessary, to avoid any responsibility relative to the defects of manufacture and failures or problems in Toyota’s car and vehicles.
For that reason TOYOTA, in relation with customers, disregards and ignores the legitimate claims from who have bought a Toyota car that works bad or has defects. We are many who have paid with money without defects. We tought to buy quality and found that our vehicle does not work correctly or has factory defects and Toyota does not do anything despite of our individual claims on the matter.
We are many the victims. It is time to stop these abuses.
We have decided to create this ASSOCIATION OF AFFECTED BY TOYOTA
