not going to try and quote or direct this because you'll know who this is being directed to.
ok, no, just because your older or have a certain priced car dosnt make you a great driver(thats not what i said) but it make you less likely to do something stupid in a car that will say put it into a tree, wall or into another car(*konck* on wood). lets take the porsche example because thats whats being most talkd about they are $300,000+ in aus and yes in certain areas there are rich kids with these cars and they will do stupid things in them but the MAJORITY(and this is what lawyers AND the insurance companies go by) are older more mature drivers so the pressure to tone down a car isnt there(hence the few idiots dont ruin it for the rest of the people), and porsche have and always will make these cars because that is what porsche is all about, same as ferrari and the like.
But with toyota(i admit) they are much more likely to end up in the hands of these young brash and stupid drivers that do what they see on the tv in cars they know nothing about BUT now lets put it in scion and even more of these kids will get these cars(and no that dosnt mean more sale numbers because this car will then appeal to the mid life crisis buyers so sale numbers not that different just different demographic) and there will be even more risk of crashes more kids dying in this car(*knock* on wood) and the lawyers will say to toyota that they could get alot of lawsuits against them because of this and then toyota tones back the car(theyve done it before as pointed out by dinman) and stops the cars willingness to have the back step out(remember tada said that the car wasnt going to be the ideal 50/50 weight distraibution because that isnt best for drifting) so this cars personality will really change and it will no longer be the car we want anywhere in the world and im not talking about cosmetics im talking about what really counts whats under the skin thinga like engine, tranny, suspension set up and weight distribution when i say that.
