Toyota failing with the good looks, Other toyota names appearing and other car names making fame. Options

As I see it Toyota's line up of cars branded with the name of Toyota seems to have become dull, unfashionable and rather crappy lately. There are no more sporty type cars such as the Celica Gen. 7 Which I see as the only car that is worth being called Sporty at all right now in Toyotas line up of cars.
When you look at other manufactures such as Subaru, Honda, Nissian, and Domestic makers. You will notice that they have new high-tec cars that are way more powerful, faster and beyond better than Toyotas line up of cars. They are considered to be fashionable and sporty.

It seems that Toyota has gone from the fast and the furious to the grandma and grandpa scene.
I was once a proud fan of Toyota untill I noticed that the market has changed from what it used to be. Pretty soon Toyota will only appeal to those who have grown rather old, dull, and shaky.
Perhaps its time we all change what we think and persue the name of "The young and the restless". Day by day we all get older. Pretty soon we will all be like our parents (Minus those who already are....) and the good life when suping up cars was everything will be gone. We will have families to take care off, and driving will become only something that we find enjoyable when were alone in our big AS mini-van, or SUV.
What will become of Toyota? Will the name of Lexus and Scion dominate our future in the name of speed originating from Toyota?

Toyota's best line-up was in the 90s..
after the year 2000, they are focused on making their new cars affordable and economic.. which totally sucks for people wanting performance.

in a way, they made a good choice in doing this so they can boost up sales and income.. imagine having to buy a $45,000+ sports car if Supras or GT-Fours were still around. they probably wouldn't get as much sales as their 7th gen celi line-up (i see them everywhere!). so probably they see the mistake they did back in the 90s and are now moving towards affordablility in vehicles.

so should we expect a high-performance vehicle from Toyota in the near future? not likely, or at least until they finish their concept hi-performance hybrid..
