Nah. In the US, the idea of "blue collar" Toyota is oxymoronic. All their range is gussied up to look fancy, and their cars are bought by self-styled yuppies.

Case in point. A Chevy pulling a Toyota race trailer. Truck racing no less.


I want to like the IS-F, and it sounds good, but I can't get over how it looks (ridiculous) and the badge will never make it truly cool.

It'd be actually cool if it were to take down the established benchmarks. But it hasn't.
