i dont care what all the haters say...Toyota is definitely on the pulse of the consumer...it seems like they dont do wrong with any of the car/trucks they sell.

I think the New ES is a knockout, and that surprises me because I've always expected the ES to be traditionally...ES and not turn heads. But the new ES is very different, yet keeps the core attributes fairly well. It's also interesting Black is the most popular color, and that old ES buyers are trading in for the new.

True.

Haters write magazines. Haters have their websites.

Consumers are the ones that actually buy the car.

Consumers outnumber Haters significantly...

What is up with the xA on the list?

Is Toyota purposely limiting the supply on this car to create an artificial demand?

I thought the Z06 would also be on this list.

The list just tells you what cars sit on the lot the shortest amount of time - has nothing to do with sales volume. Any car that is capacity strained will be hot on this list. It is the list mfgs want to be on however.

IS350 for the starters. new camry at the very top would've been better.
that list looks like they just gathered some weird/cheap looking cars and made a list of it. If those cars are going so hot off the lot, maybe its about time I should move out of this country or something.

They may have 56+ years car driving experience. They may have 56+ years of car buying experience.

Again the Hot-List is whatever stays on the lot the shortest time.

I honestly don't think age has anything to do with it. I'm young and I know alot about cars but at the same time I know that let's say veterans on this board like marshall know alot more than I do.

1. The ES is selling like hotcakes, look at the monthly sales numbers.
2. The IS was on the top 10 list a few times, production has picked up, not sales cooling off.
3. Saying people 56+ don't know about cars is totally ignorant and you should issue and apology. They have been driving cars LONGER THAN MANY OF US HAVE BEEN ALIVE. They can tell us about the 60s, 70s, 80s etc. We can learn a lot from them
4. These same people got MONEY. The ES averages $10,000 down.

Bottom line, those rich old people are laughing at your comments bub

Besides, to me, old is STATE OF MIND and with people aging older, old to me is not even 50-60 anymore. Its like 90...

I think the ES is a phenomonal car including it's styling and I'm 27.

After reading your posts I had to check your profile to see what car you drive. I could've guessed actually. A BMW driver of course.

Your just jealous that 6 of the 10 hottest cars are built by Toyota.
