How very nice for you. Staggering market share provides the funds for a volume manufacturer to create cars like the FRS. Those sheeple are actually so much MORE relevant than car enthusiasts like us are. Without the Camry, the FRS doesn't exist. Car manufacturers who sell only passion are corporately funded (VW/Skoda/Seat/Audi/Porsche/Lamborghini/Bugatti/Bentley or Fiat/Chrysler/Maserati/Ferrari) and still have to price their cars out of the average person's grasp to stay out of the red.
Only survives because it was bought and is funded by Proton.

I never said that car companies don't survive because of volume and profit margin. But many if not most car companies were FOUNDED by people with a PASSION and love for cars (BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Toyoda, Lamborghini, even Ford with his assembly line, etc.)...
You really think most car company founders dreamed about making boring appliances?
