Toyota what happened to you man? You used to be cool (10 years ago). Since you canceled the Supra with no replacement, you failed. Toyota also uses a modified cressida in another commercial.

Another one? Oh,man,I think they don't have a classic or retro feeling.

It takes some effort to render a 3D 2-door FJ60 out of thin air. As much as I dislike C4C, I can't really blame Toyota for advertising it. In this economy, w/ car sales what they are, it just make business sense. They must’ve known what they were doing. It takes some effort to render a 3D 2-door FJ60 out of thin air.

And if you have no interest in something, it means you’re no good at it. Which means you must have your driving license taken away.” This may illustrate why it is a bad idea to hire gaijin who have no passion for cars, to sell your cars outside Japan. Or it may show a company wide lack of passion about cars, in Japan and among the distributors. Either way, “salesmen” should not be hired to sell cars, because they don’t care about the product, and won’t be able to sell the product well. And it may show that the company has lost their passion for cars and no longer has any business making them, because they don’t care about what they are doing. Top Gear S13 E07 News, Jeremy Clarkson:

(Save the Nissan 300ZX but i believe most Z owners these days are Z owners because they WANT to be) That said, it is sad to see Toyota's business culture of only looking forward and compelte disdain for the past. True, the first Toyota's weren't the best (as shown in JNC issue 1) but Toyota's complete lack of acknowledgement of 50 years in America and complete murder of their sporting lineup was just validated by this advertisement crushing an important vehicle in their history. Akio Toyoda hurry up!!!! i was really upset about C4C when it was first announced but most of our classics are safe.
