@Robez93 I think Toyota assumed that Scion would fill their sporty shoes. But most Scion models are sort of boxy.

@Robez93 sorry dude, but the F-150 is the best selling truck, not overall vehicle. i agree that the corolla being the best selling means nothing about how good it is, since people are generally idiots, but still.

Wow...

Dark Continent?

Can You Say Bigot?

[Robez93]

The reason why Toyotas now SUCK is because they're absolutely no fun whatsoever. The fun in Toyota completely died and went to hell with the SW20 MR2 and Supra. They are no longer quick, sporty, fun to drive, or capable of anything out of the ordinary. Toyota has no idea what the word "performance" means anymore.

"You...do know that the Corolla is the best-selling car in the world, right? Over 35 million sold.

America should learn how to build such "pieces of shit". "

Well seeing the best selling vehicle is the Ford F-series, they do know how to build cars. And selling a lot doesn't make it good. It's cheapness makes it sell a lot, not it's performance, not it's looks, not it's handling, it's affordablity is what makes it sell. And the Vega was Motor Trends Car of the Year in 70-71.

By saying "Toyota never built a Vega, Honda never built a Nova" you implied Toyota was better than a Nova, but when I said Novas were Toyotas you said only in the 80s. So you mean all Novas weren't as good as Toyotas except the 80's one, which was a Toyota. Using the transitive property would tell me you mean the 80s Novas were the only good ones, meaning they're better than the earlier generation Novas. So how was my interpretation "inaccurate"?

"You can't possibly believe the fifth-gen 80's Nova was better than the first thru third gen"

Never said it was - that was your interpretation - and an inaccurate one at that.

"The piece of shit corolla based 80s one was just as bad as a corolla"

You...do know that the Corolla is the best-selling car in the world, right? Over 35 million sold.

America should learn how to build such "pieces of shit".

"The Vega was a nice car, too"

Heh. To paraphrase you, "you can't possibly believe that".

[Robez93]

You can't possibly believe the fifth-gen 80's Nova was better than the first thru third gen. The Nova was a muscle car, it was Corvette engined and lightweight-- it was bomb. The only problem it had was rust, which wasn't much worse than the 90's Hondas were. The piece of shit corolla based 80s one was just as bad as a corolla-- an ugly underpowered shitbox with no appeal whatsoever. The Vega was a nice car, too, better than anything the japs had to offer at the time. "1971 car of the year".

[USAon3]

They were?? Gosh. Only to someone born in the 80's. The Nova was first built in 1962, before the US even heard of Toyota.

The Novas built by Toyota can still be seen on the roads today. Can't say the same for the US version unless it's been redone by some mullet-brain Joe Dirt wannabe.

[Robez93]

And it's funny how you said "Toyota never built a Vega, Honda never built a Nova". You dumb shit. Chevy Nova's were re-badged Toyota Sprinters.
