Well, I can see Toyota absorbing Subaru, Mitsubishi merging with Mazda and Suzuki, Honda stays as is and so does Nissan. In Japan, all manufacturers share and care. Mitsubishi sells rebadged cars from Suzuki, Nissan and Infinti, Subaru sells rebadged Daihatsu vans, Toyota sells us the iA/Yaris sedan, which is a Mazda,…

If my fellow drinker would’ve been driving a Porsche that night, he might’ve ended up wrecked against a tree instead.

If Toyota intends to compete for the hearts of Miata owners, yes. But since Toyota and Mazda have a partnership, it might be a weird dynamic here.

The FR-S is sold with no name anywhere, GT86 in Europe, 86 in Japan, but FR-S makes sense because the car has an FR layout and its a sports car, therefore S. To make justice to the 86, the car’s bore and stroke is 86mm, and so is the exhaust tip.

That’s true. The xB must’ve been designed to be tall so young people can avoid the back problems old people have that need a high seating position the old folks love about the xB.

The xB was replaced by the I’m. You can still get one but they’re of the last ones built.

Well with Toyota, Americans comprehend they make cheap cars, just not quirky ones. Mercedes in the other hand, it’s a little weird for some customers that a Sprinter is in the same showroom as an S Class, when I’ve seen Sprinters with interiors that kick S Class butt.

I meant that the Veloster was intended to be the successor to the Tiburon. But what you say, let’s go with that.

Can you try and import it at least as M4A files?

Are you the guy who sent an actual seed to John Oliver’s Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption church? If that’s the case, send them anything.

If killing time was a crime, Doug would be a mass murderer then. What a better soundtrack in a time killing spree than some promo CDs from the age I could barely speak English or Spanish.

I can just put the badge swapping badge in. It’s just that my thing is full badge overhauls. From G37 to Skyline, xB to Corolla Rumion or go full retard and rebadge a Ford Aspire to a Kia Brisa.

Goddammit Cesario! But if some anime or virtual celebrity tie in is in your thoughts, remember Toyota sells the Auris in Japan with a Gundam themed decorative package.

One badge is too much badges to swap.

The Tiburon has been off the market since 2007. Veloster anyone?

It’ll be a Yaris like it’s already in Canada. You could get an old Tercel badge and enjoy your dream.

Did you see Doug’s video on Korean cars?

The first gen tC was sold as the Toyota Zelas in South America and the Middle East. The Avensis only shares platform and parts with the TC, no body parts though.

I saw a few days ago a second gen xB with Corolla Rumion badges. I wanted to cringe.

Kia also built the Ford Aspire, which was a rebranded Kia Brisa.
