The corolla, Camry, rav4 etc. And the FT1 those are designed here in the USA in California Calty design studio.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I've only met some of the designers not all of them.

Can never disregard the possibility that the marketing folks probably had much less say in the first design than they did the facelift as well. Many a great car has declined rapidly when project control leans more toward marketing than engineering.
