Strange sighting
I work in West Caldwell and two buildings up from me is the Toyota NY region HQ. Going back to my office during lunch as I am passing their building a burgundy 1965 GTO pulls out of their parking lot and speeds past me. Was pretty dumbfounded by it, being everyone that works there drives a Toyota. Could have been someone just passing by and decided to take a turn in there. But it was still odd to see.

Toyota did just hire a few former GM execs....
I remember Allan Mullaly drove his Lexus LS460 to his first day of work as Ford's CEO.

Soon Toyota will have 3 car models, and 17 truck/SUV models. they'll also wonder why they can't seem to get past 16mpg on any of their models, and that the Corolla, Camry, Scion xB, and Yaris will get SS badges

yes, prius.
Matrix and Venza are SUV's due to flat loading floor if you look at the EPA I believe. Same reason the Magnum and HHR were considerd trucks.
