      Every car enthusiast should be grateful that a CEO like Akio Toyoda is leading one of the biggest car companies in the world. He loves motorsports and ever since he took over, Toyota came with the GT86, Supra and now, the GR Yaris. We ought to pay respect to him. He even competed in Mazda's 4 hour endurance race in Tsukuba in the current ND generation MX-5 last year - yes you read that right, search "Bromance between Presidents of Toyota and Mazda runs deep, exchange letters revealed" on google. He even praised Mazda for building the MX-5 in a tough niche market and said that all car companies ought to look at how Mazda develop their products, especially the Roadster.
