Can Toyota Still Manage to Build an Awful Car? - LA Times Article

[ChinoCharles]

Dear Dan,

Yeah, we’re all going to e-mail you now.

We’re sick of reporters knocking our cars. The media has been one big Honda circle jerk since the Fit, Yaris and Versa hit showrooms.

The thing is Dan, I’m 21 and I am Toyota’s target market. I’m young and this is my first car purchase, and I needed the cheapest, most economical car I could get.

The fact that the Yaris is the cheapest car from any company I would trust as well as the best on gas for any 87 pump gas, non-hybrid car I know of made this an easy decision.

The media constantly tears it apart. It doesn’t have enough room, its too noisy, blah blah blah.

I would drive a dune buggy right now if it got 100 MPG. Have you been to a gas station lately Dan?

Yarisworld.com… 3000 owning members from all over the world with two generations of Yarii (yeah, they’re called Yarii) Ever heard of a Vitz? A Vios? A Belta?

All Yarii.

Dan, no offense, but you’re the one who is out of touch. This thing is a regular sensation... we prove it!
