If you replace the car guy (Akio) with someone like the head of the malaise-era Toyota (1999-2009), then we might see a return to a Toyota line up with zero sports cars and 50 shades of SUV.

Those were dark days

If the car does get a re-do. Can I ask for a different engine? As in one that is not a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder? I can think of nothing nice to say about this engine configuration and the blither about it's "low center of gravity" is way oversold.

And can the new car run on 87 octane fuel? Premium fuel is about 80 cents a gallon more (Canada) and I see no benefit other than to the gas stations income.

You can get that now. It's called a Corolla.

I had to look that up. Did they do that with all the Scions, or just the iM?

Corolla iM

Yaris iA

Toyota 86

those are the only three they kept

I actually liked how the latest model tC looked like but they discontinued it...looked much more aggressive than the previous models

I'm about to make your day, you can go buy one of those right now!

It's called the Toyota Celica, nevermind the Scion badges:

The previous gen looked better. If you are going to look aggressive, it would be nice to be able to back it up.

Why the love for "aggressive"?

because it makes you look fast..that's the problem with our cars and why people call it slow..we can't back it up either
