Vitzes are sold at Toyota Netz dealers. The tag line for Netz is "make the style". Granted, the Belta isn't sold at Netz dealers, but oh well.



What an obscure, stupid reference that hardly anybody cares about or understands.

I thought the title was a reference to some kind of Disney Channel/Cartoon Network show that came out well after my cartoon-watching days.

Yeah. Whatever happened to simply, "I bought a Toyota Yaris"? The implied tone of the statement would certainly go well with the car.

Its not that big of a deal....

I thought it was clever. Even if you don't like the title, who the fuck cares?

It's not that obscure....Netz's tagline is on every ad of models that are sold there, and even go as far as different badging from other Toyota Models. I didn't realize the Belta wasn't a Netz Toyota until a few days ago.

Actually, it is that obscure. It doesn't matter if their tagline is on every ad if nobody here has ever seen one of their ads. You are in a small minority of people who immerse yourself that deeply in foreign market cars. On the upside, thanks to this thread, there are now 10 people who know what a Netz dealer is.

Educating the world one obscure reference at a time!

Just because YOU don't know doesn't make it obscure. Keep your drivel out of my thread.

The new (previous gen) Vitz RS is quite interesting.

Fast fact; the Yaris has an auto-crank feature. Simply turn the key once and the starter will crank until completely started.

I bet it makes more sense for Japanese people. Have you seen their magazines before? Their brains are capable of processing what we perceive as clusterfucks.





That cover hurts my brain. All Japanese people that read that magazine may have ADD.

Our 2005 2500HD has that too. It's also faster and handles better.

Our corporate newsletter isn't quite that bad, but it's similar.

That's pretty cool, actually.  I'm gonna have to start trying that in newer-model cars that I detail/drive over the summer.

Dodge can need up to a good half cup of gas to get started depending on how long I've let it sit.

Another fast fact; when engine braking in gear, the motor actually has a fuel cut up to 1100 RPM while engine braking.

Oh for fuck sakes, that goes for any fuel injected car made in the last 20 years plus.
