Translation: “The kids who want these cars can’t afford them, so we can’t justify development costs of adding another option. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go work on the automatic for the new Supra.”

He’s one of those famously intense actors who’s very low-key and relaxed in the interviews, or at least he was with Colbert recently. It’s kind of disorienting.

“I don’t like or own cars and this car does more than my mom’s ‘73 Beetle did when I was a kid so I think it’s stupid “

My mind is boggled at the comments I’m reading down here. Everything from “he’s an asshole,” to “he doesn’t care about his kids safety.”

What. The. Fuck. Are you people serious?!

2. The dad seems to…
