"Finding one new without a dealer markup was.... well impossible". Welcome to why I didn't' get one. I looked for over a year. The final straw was trying to get one through my cousin with a "friends and family" discount. His dealership marked the car up several thousand so that they could give me the "discount" of that many thousands and then tacked on $8k paint protection film package and bloated dealer fees, to make the out the door price $42k for a car with an MSRP of under $31k as speced. SCREW THE TOYOTA DEALERS! I went and gave Mazda my money for a less than MSRP snowflake white MX-5 GT soft top loaded up and came out way cheaper. And got a warm weather open roof blissmobile in the process.

The side profile and slight side angle the car looks good. Front and rear the car doesn't fair well in appearance. The best colors are White. Pavement gray, Steel Silver.
