All so true. What I find so funny is that so many of the Toyota and Lexus models have very aggressive styling (often times over styled) and that styling doesn't match the drivetrain or the chassis performance. Toyota over styled the hell out of the new Supra with all the fake vents, spates, and winglets. It would be a beautiful car without all that crap. I do have to admit that I'm excited about the upcoming IS500 with the 472hp 5.0 V8. I'll likely pick up a used one to replace my much loved and shocking reliable BMW M235 6MT. But first, I need to find a 2002-2004 Corvette Z06 for my weekend/track car.
