Swagger Wagon...Wait, What?!

Maybe this post is more along the expertise lines of John at Tivo's Worst Enemy, but I had to share this. It's well-known that Toyota's recent reputation (aside from the whole throttle-sticking catastrophe) has crept closer to the old Cadillac I-don't-want-to-actually-feel-the-road vibe. Toyotas of the past decade have been generally soulless and boring, save perhaps the last generation Celica, which even I as no fan of post-1995 Toyota admit would look good parked in my driveway.

So it's not surprising that Toyota's been looking to reconstruct their public image. They've set their sites on a younger demographic: new families. In comes the newly redesigned Sienna, probably the most attractive minivan to be sold in the US since the Mazda 5. And with a new generation of vehicle comes a new commercial. This one, for the Sienna, is just so damn hilarious. It's not going to convince someone like me to go buy any new Toyota, let alone a minivan; however, it's given me a bit of hope that someone at Toyota has a sense of humor again.
