When a car is designed in such a way that it is rolling artwork, it will always get the attention of those who appreciate beauty. I say this owning a 2010 Camaro, and since day one (2009) it has received similar fanfare. To this day, I still get people pulling up to me at gas stations and asking about it, or kids on skateboards riding by shouting "nice car!", all while grinning from ear-to-ear.

Most Camaro/Mustang/Challenger's have received that treatment for 50 years and will continue to do so for another 50 years because they have become cultural icons of this country.

The Toyobaru will never be that.

I don't think I've had anyone look twice at me in over a year and there are now three on my block alone including mine.

And I can't drive a block without somebody staring and pointing. All in how many are around I guess.

This car does get the looks but they're everywhere now and people generally don't care about this car anymore.

P86RAVES · 04-16-2015, 12:58 PM

There are so many around here where I live that it gets looked over easily.

We have at least 5 Series 10's, 3 or 4 RS, 2 Series Blue.... join the Army if you want nice things but everybody else is going to have them too.

Definitely a cringe worthy thread title.

Shit I didn't even look at when this thread was started until now!
Isn't this about the 6th circle jerk thread this month?
Hardly necro thread worthy really.

Agreed. OP's post just sounds so cheesy, I don't believe it's true.

Probably a whole lot more common a scenario back in Nov 2012 when it was written.

I was about to go to formula drift last year and while waiting on a friend to show up at my house alongside another buddy i just went to get gas because i felt like driving. My friend gave me crap about it on the way. As i was driving down the street i noticed a pretty nice wrx hatch following me. I pulled into the gas station and so did he. He parked across from me and we both got gas. He than came up to me and asked about my exhaust. We chatted it up for awhile and than he was like, "yea i have a twin too, wanna come over to my place and check it out?" I was just like sure thing. So what were you up to, hope i won't be getting in the way. He just replied like, i had nothing to do so i just went to get gas.

Yes. I feel like a celebrity.

Idk about that I still get looks and compliments all the time and they're at least 3 in my small town. Its a good looking car that will still be good looking in 50 years.
