I think I'm not digging it because it's a hatchback.
Also how does anyone keep up with what Toyota names it's cars for the NA market?


There's like 5 billion Toyotas on America roads, you see them like everyday.

I still dunno why they insist in renaming their cars, though. A lot of Japanese companies do that--the Nissan Z series is known as the Fairlady series over in the land of the rising sun, for example.

Sometimes it's because the name is Engrish in Japan, but other time they just rename is because.

You know, as much as I love Char Aznable, having the Principality of Zeon symbol on things makes me a little uncomfortable. I know they aren't real, but in-universe they murdered tens of millions of people and made the Nazis look like Care Bears.


Perhaps you'd rather have a Titans emblem? Wink

An AEUG emblem. On a car that's Hyaku Shiki gold.

Char's a legend and I'd totally go for that car but for the rediculous cost involved.
