I can't imagine a worse ad for this car. Somone from Toyota marketing needs to explain what the hell they could be thinking with this.
I just want to know where I get one of those long legged girlfriends I need to drop off at the spa.

Not sure if tofu constitutes a grocery item. If so then obviously the answer is no.
