Jalopnik decided on a narrative around Toyota. And even though every story about Toyota indicates otherwise, they stick to it, even if every article has to start with “Toyota unexpectedly.”

Toyota Matrix.

The Toyota Camry (especially V6 models). They are quick and ride just as well as a first or second gen Lexus LS. The transmission mapping is great. They are quite good in deep snow. They have cavernous interiors. They come standard with a dent in the corner of the rear bumper.

The GM J-body. 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen. Don’t care. Love them all for the little tin cans they are. Mine has been oddly lovingly cared for in its 31 years of life and I’ve continued that. It’s slow, old, shoddily built and somehow still…fun.

1st: Toyota’s delay in entering the EV market should be expected.

I honestly love me a good van. Vans are honest, hard working and serve a purpose. People who buy vans do a lot of research and have strong preferences for what van they want.

Some people like a nice light Ron Livingston, some prefer a slightly tougher medium soft Ron Livingston. Me, I like to go hard with the full-on, hiding-a-case-of-the-Vat-69-in-your-footlocker, maximum firmness…

He was kinda perfect as the slightly weiner-y officer on BOB.

I want the “You’ve done it now, Yanks! You’ve captured me!” old duffer on the bicycle.

That “Never go with a hippie to a second location” is absolutely true. I know it’s true, but I’d love to hear everyone’s stories behind that joke.

And Simon pegg

There seems to be an oral history book of the show coming out this fall, if nothing else! Here’s hoping it’s 3,000 pages, with at least 40 of them devoted to the origin of “Bitch Hunter”.

I really want a 30 Rock podcast with Tina and some of the head writers. There are so many jokes that I would love to hear the origins of

Hmm. If you get confused about whether you’re rich or poor, you’re rich.
