I think there is a small amount of progress being made. He has admitted that it doesn't matter to him how badly it performs stock, as he will mod it (any car he owns apparently) to fit his needs, never driving it stock.

This basically negates the value of any of his opinion regarding factory cars.

For the rest of us, we would much prefer something that doesn't need to be modded right off the showroom as most of us that will mod our cars in the future, aren't willing to drop $10k on a new car just to not hate the car we drive in the meantime.

Never even bothered getting into a 'value' argument about throwing mod dollars down the resale toilet...

He's also really not doing the pro-Scion FT/R-86/S camp any favours by reinforcing a lot of the stereotypes.

Maybe it's some clever pro-Toyota reverse psychology?
