What I find interesting about Toyota is that their new generation of cars have all gotten larger. Here in Australia, Toyota have recently released the new Corolla, Kluger and LandCruiser. All of these vehicles have grown by a large amount, the new Corolla is the size of the old Camry. The new Kluger is now almost the size of the old Landcruiser and the new Landcruiser is now the size of most American made SUVs (obviously to compete in that market). It surprises me that Toyota has taken this design approach at this point in time when fuel consumption and emissions are such important issues.
