Yep. There were almost riots in the streets when they unveiled the concept in the 80s.

The Ford marketing must have been at their peak when they came up the name Probe!

I can't help it! I miss my little SC and it's badge that until tonight had gone completely unnoticed that it could also look sinister.

Thank you Tcoat.

I sure do miss my '88 SC Mister Two.

But that Trueno badge- oh my. Had no idea Goebbels worked in the Toyota design bureau.

Had a guy with his gf that was getting off on a brand new Scion IA, I was overhearing them just as I'm entering my car guy mentions to his girl that's a FRS but a Toyota badge 🙄🙄🙄🙄seems not many people know the real history behind the car or why some of us here are hardcore about the real badge and identity of car.

Guy who works at a local high-end body shop says "Subaru, huh? Lines are very similar to the Maserati I have in the next bay. Me: "I love Maserati, can I see it?" "Sure" he says.

It was a white Gran Turismo.
