I don't watch commercials and I came across this article which shows some of the recent 86 ads and I'm honestly shocked. The way toyota markets this car is a complete shame.

I wanted to share this link with you guys that has a bunch of recent 86 ads.

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. :party0030:

Now that's a fine piece of writing there...I've owned cars that should have done that.

You can also use a Scion iQ to get donuts....

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