"Nothing this car can't handle" :mrgreen: Wet roundabouts? :-k

Even Toyota's Stig span it constantly, and the footage looked speeded up, so it was span at 20mph probably :D

And that woman....MOOOOOLLLLEEEE =;

That is without a doubt THE worst promotional video I have ever seen. My wife come into the room ready to smack me as she thought I was watching some cheesy p0rno with the commentary in the back ground :-s . If anything it would put me off owning an MR2 all together. It is a poor selection of clips with the majority of them showing the car spining out. :clown:

"maximum control even in the wet"...... ? Sound more like a maxi pad panty liner advert!! :clown:

How does Eddie Murphy pronounce Celica!??

it should be "sea-lee-car" or Sleaker! not "sell-a-car"

maybe brand spanking new these cars might have been that sharp? nowadays they are old enough to vote and that aint good for tortional rigidity and shocks bushes etc...

as for the advert.... I didnt know toyota made engines for nightrider, or that handbrake turns made the tyres squeel long after you'd stopped lol
