Except for what some considered a rebadged Subaru model; and in the US that didn't even have a Toyota badge on it.
That's what changed — now it covers more enthusiast market segments.

Few people dismiss Porsche for making Cayennes and Macans.
Make jokes about it? More people
Exactly.

In 2007 when the Prius was released, what sporty car did Toyota have in the lineup? People were upset because they had made so many great enthusiast cars in the past and then stopped.

Best go grab one people, those numbers will make them rare gems soon, and halt production because it no longer pays the bills of a factory.
Huh? Me thinks you've been hitting the bottle a little hard.

A car like the E30 M3, with a massive racing pedigree, took decades to become as valuable as they are now. And this is a car that only 5-6k were imported between 1988-1991.

Not a car produced by the literal tens of thousands.
