Toyobaru Confirmed

This is really good news - I thought it had been axed.  I hope they do a proper Subaru one.

Autoblog have had several dead/not dead stories in the last few months, so this is good news indeed.

The Celica name deserves to be used, especially as the first Celicas were RWD and it's a popular name.

That looks a lot better than it really has any right to.

If I didn't have the Leggy, it would definitely be in the frame for my mid-life crisis car!!

Looks like the outgoing Hyundai Coupe.

"New Toyota president Akio Toyoda..."

Is that how Radio Norwich DJ Dave Clifton pronounces 'Toyota'?

It only looks like the Hyundai in side profile.  There is nothing wrong with that - the Hyundai apparently looks like a Ferrari to some.

No, that is his name. Toyota was considered to sound nicer than Toyoda (which apparently means 'fertile rice paddies') and takes eight strokes to write in Japanese, where eight is considered a lucky number.
