    Bad news for the price of the car.

    "Core Target
    - Males aged 35-49
    - style conscious
    - White collar
    - Household income (HHI) $150K"

    Toyota Australia need to rethink that a little...

    realisitcally sounds correct, would have put it into 25-49 bracket for some of the younger working professionals that are currently buy cars like the golf GTis or slightly older 1 series/ 3 series coupes and 370's
    Rust is a way of life

    If you had kid(s) and a mortgage like many 35-49yr olds, you probably wouldn't be able to afford much more on just 150k combined....
    I reckon that's exactly the demographic that will be buying this car, and probably more guys 50+ rather than guys 35-

    Hopefully ther'll be some old ladies in the mix that will sell their cars in 10 years time with only a few easy k's on the clock

    Still, there are always DINKs who might be on a little less and a little younger who would find this appealing

    Also specifying white collar is probably a little more snobby than a company like Toyota should really be open about!?!?

    8/6/12 is the release date. Dare say that is just a publicity thing though, who knows when they will be properly available to test drive/ buy.
