Right, but you missed my point. There's nothing wrong with building cars for the public at large...that's a given and you wouldn't stay in business if you didn't build for them. But once you marry yourself solely to that thinking then you start to become bland and boring. In Toyota's case...they're the same company that gave us the TT Supra so you know they're capable of innovation and performance. Yet instead they started looking at JUST the general public and ditched the niche cars in favor of soccer moms and middle aged business men. Other companies who developed those niche cars have a much better following...at least among enthusiasts. And after all...everyone here is an enthusiast.
