With the grandson of Toyota on helm, who has interest in motorsports, he is now on progress on making toyota cars exciting again. Starting with the new lexus supercar, followed by the new affordable 2 door coupe the toyobaru. The new Toyobaru will be the possible sucessor to the AE86, cheap but fun coupes hopefully for drifting purposes. to those think toyota is making more dull cars, think again.

Just look at the Wish previously, the whole market is flooded with re-cons and when they have it, it’s already too late. Same as Alphard. I think they won’t dare to bring in the Aventis. --------------------------------------- It's maybe apart of their domestic marketing strategy which fully utilise our automotive policy. Those import AP's actually can reduce their used Wish stockpile at Odaiba port auction which actually still owned by the actual owner. When their cars bought by the AP kings, then they can buy new Toyota like Avensis. They no care about Malaysian market as their domestic is their 2nd largest market after the US. So for the Avensis, they won't bring into in the nearest time. Black Dog said,

1.4 T Jet and 1.4 TSI

However, in our boleh-land, these will take ages to arrive as our domestic market is rather unique in auto-knowledge and the weird G policy which currently apply.
