Then they don't sell very many (compared to Camrys) and make little money. Isn't this why you're attracted to Toyota's though? I know that's the reason I love them. When you buy one, you know that they aren't gonna break down on you. You can't compare a JDM Soarer to an Aussie Camry and say that Toyota don't make good cars any more. If you want to go JDM, then there's the Chaser. If you want to stick to Aussie, look at the Aussie Camry back then (or the Corona depending upon the year). They're two distinctly different markets. Apollo wrote on Tue, 30 December 2003 17:31 You can't deny it though. All of the "sports cars" these days are just family shopping trollies. HSV, XR6/8, VRX, "sportivo", etc. All are 4 door family cars trying for sporty looks. FWD: Clio Sport, Integra Type-R, Celica AWD: WRX, S3/S4 (or the RS counterparts) RWD: 200SX, MR2 (shame Aussies only get auto), Elise, 350Z, RX-8 The only 4 door shopping trolleys there are the AWDs. Refer below. Apollo wrote on Tue, 30 December 2003 17:31 What we need is a return of the peformance car. To me the car industry died in 1998. The only thing that has kept it from a total loss is subaru with the WRX. This is a classic example of marketing over engineering. This is an example of your so called "4 door family cars trying for sporty looks" and yet you seem to love it. Why? Marketing and cult status. All it needed was for a gang to use them for ram raids and evade some cops, then add in the media hype and you've got an instant classic. No one thinks of the 200SX the same way as the WRX. Even despite it being faster, handles better, was purposefully designed as a sports car (not a FWD shopping trolley). It's better in every single way for the same amount of money. So why is the WRX so much more popular? And don't mention rally unless you're talking Grp N. [Report message to a moderator]
