From the profile I'll guess that's the next generation Camry.  Hoping it'll be 80% less weird looking than the Crown.

I thought there were rumors recently about them bringing back the MR-2 and/or the Celica?

There’s always enough time to do it right the second time.

Camry is pretty solid bet.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for that. That'd be rad.

With the gr86 and corolla in existence. this would make no sense. 

This new dawn will be an EV Camry or equivalent 4door 5 seater.

Hoping for a solid state battery hybrid on the new corolla.  But unlikely.

I was going to say it will be their first 100% EV. But I guess they launched that in February in the quietest product launch I've seen. I never heard anything about it.

If it's a save the planet EV thingy...............I shall hurl.

I have nothing against EVs .............they do lots of cool stuff but they are not saving the planet................stop saying they are.

Did I mention I have really negative reactions to touchy feely ads?
