Just more of that Toyota "racing heritage" shining through...
Build some exciting cars? Nah... Start a campaign to try and get people to drive like their piloting a glacier? Yeah! That's the ticket! Golly...thanks Toyota!

2 thoughts come to my mind:
This scenario: "Sorry I hit you man. I was paying attention to my iphone app instead of the road. Luckily, I was only going 5 mph" And this theory: Some people have self control. Some don't. An iphone app isn't going to change this. Maybe you'll drive "eco-friendly" for a day but it wont last. Unfortunately, not having self control comes with a price. That's just the way life is. |

I see it as a good sense of humor, actually I remember when the FT86 Concept or was it the the GT86 first came out, I remember they put a photo of a glass of water inside the car. lol.
