Luckily you still have just over 50 days to escape the horror that is!

Look at their comments
QUOTE:
Mr Thompson said Toyota Rukus will be offered to urban dwellers as a blank slate.

"It will be loaded with great standard features, but we expect many owners to express their individuality by making their car stand out from the pack.

"That might involve wild paint jobs, funky wheels or other ideas, limited only by the imagination of owners - and what's legal.

"Potential customers have told us they want this style of car. We've listened and we're responding.

"Rukus is designed to be different: it's not for everyone. It's a bit like Vegemite: it's an acquired taste," Mr Thompson said. END OF QUOTE

Why they do not call it :
TOYOTA Yuppie (short for "young urban professional" or "young upwardly-mobile professional") :angel:

[It'sNotWorthComplaining!]

It seems to have that UGLY Great Wall Motors look :eek:
The little slanty eyes, ooops Slanty headlight look

Isn't this the exact same marketing idea that is a Kia Soul?
-or as i call the racing model - the R-Soul!

Toyotas regime is slowly coming to an end. They have clearly lost the plot this time:eek:

[rockyroad]

Surely there is now enough evidence for a "regime change" in the Aus motor industry !!

[grumpybastard]

hahaha... Toyota marketing

Sick of death by dull? It's time to step up.

Rukus is about to be unleashed on the streets and this small car revolution is sure to turn some heads. Its bold angles and edgy urban styling is anything but boring, so you'll never blend in. But it's more than just striking looks. Cruise in comfort with surprising interior space, potent performance and flexibility in this class-breaking social utility vehicle. It's a wicked combination that lets you stand out from the crowd without compromising on the stuff that life demands.

So get ready to break from the pack in a car that will change the way you look at Toyota forever.

One thing I did note was how similar the Kia looks to the LRX, or as it may be how similar the LRX looks to the Kia.
