If this is the future of driving, kill me now

Posted by Uncle Mark | February 19, 2009 | In contributing editors humor toyota

Now, I have to admit I have a soft spot for Toyotas after 145,000 very happy, trouble free miles in my treasured IS300 and know there is a very good reason why Toyota trucks are the transportation of choice for any self-respecting mob of gun-toting freedom fighters in arse-end, war-torn countries (they are almost literally bullet proof and will go on forever, no matter how badly you treat them). But if this is the future of driving, please kill me now!

This is just wrong, so wrong, so very very wrong….get a bloody grip Toyota! If I wanted a really comfortable seat that drives at sixty miles an hour, I’d put a truck engine onto my Lazyboy - it already has enough cup holders and vibrates without the assistance of an internal combustion engine.

Someone please stop putting caffeine in the water coolers at the Toyota design studio and get them back to designing proper cars. Otherwise, I will have to start a one-man trade war against Japanese cars.

Love,
Uncle Mark

Is this supposed to be a car for elderly and/or handicapped people? Does the chair go with it? They're both equally horrible in any case.

the car is Toyota's rival to the smart - actually been well-received.

The chair...Toyota showing off it's electronics prowess I guess...
