lol not saying the guy knew what he was talking about, just repeating what was told to me.. So who knows..

Afterr working for Toyota for four years, and meeting with multiple regionals who all had "inside knowledge," I have one thing to say: there are more rumors spread by car company employees than there are by teenagers in a high school lol.

Not to say that there won't be a new one in 2013, but I hardly think that a Service Manager would be one of the first to know, and that he would the inform a random customer.... here's hoping he's right though
