    I'm convinced, and maybe it's just me, but the car is just all around practical and wonderful. I drive a Gen 2, and it's roomy, plenty of storage, reliable, good gas mileage. It's like a mini room on wheels.

    I love the darn thing.

    Lol... Your comments are like being the exact opposite of a troll on the internet. May the goddess always bless you, especially because you're in Texas!

    It’s a great car design wise, and if it’s not gen 3, very well engineered .
    Mine was the perfect car for 10 years, and now it’s just a piece of garbage for the landfill

    it depends on what classification that you're referring to.

    Sports car :D

    No I'm kidding. Really just for all around practicability. Size, features, design, comfort, seating, efficiency, space, storage... It really hits everything.

    The Prius is the best hybrid ever, 2nd place isn't even close!

    But for the greatest Toyota ever, I'd have to go with the T100 truck...even today, I'm seeing a whole lot of them still chugging along. What's even more amazing is that they were only built from 1992-1998. The only two things that seem to kill them are accidents and rust...pretty much the most indestructible trucks ever built.

    I would classify Trucks and Cars separately because they do serve different purposes.

    But Toyota again for the win (y)
