the way the FT is described by the designers, its a sure bet sportiness is inherent in its design...

Let's be honest here, do you see old folks driving IS300? I can tell you, I have seen a ton of IS300 & not even once, NOT ONCE, I've seen over 30's yrs old person driving IS300. Even when it came out brand new, never seen it w old folks. Oldest I know & seen is end 30's (my friend, he used to own it til he got GS).
Now, I'm not pointing out only Toyota. Subaru (S2xx series), Nissan (Nismo edi), Mitsubishi (AYC), Mazda (MS edi), Honda (Type-R & Mugen edi). Even now, US fans get screwed. You can't denied that.
All those cars are described by the designers "sportiness" and other stuff... BUT all those "Sportiness" stay in the rising sun.
