Toyota stylist Ian Cartabiano should be barred from wearing a ridiculous Undercut haircut.

Instead of styling U.S-centric Toyota products, Ian Cartabiano should instead pitch to the brass in the United States, Canada; and in Japan that the Toyota Crown, Crown Majesta, the Land Cruiser Prado as a mainstream Toyota model instead of as the luxurious Lexus GX and in lieu of the 4Runner/HiLux Surf, and the Toyota Verso all in the North American market, replace the phony Avalon in the North American market with the Mark X-a very direct descendant of the Mark II/Chaser/Cresta/Cressida; market the Toyota HiAce and the Toyota Granvia as commercial vehicles in the North American market; market the Toyota Premio in the North American market as a Corona and the Allion in the North American market as a ‘Corona SE’ (both the Allion and the Premio have replaced the Corona in the Japanese Domestic Market in 2004, long after Toyota had originally ceased to market the Corona in the North American market and replaced the Corona in this market with the Camry) as a car that is slotted in between the Corolla and the Camry in terms of size and price, allow the Camry to move a little bit upmarket; and also allow the Premio/Allion to pick up where the T130 Corona had left off when a Corona was last sold in the North American market in 1981. And last, replace the U.S-centric Tacoma with the international-market HiLux, allow the international-market HiLux to pick up where the N80-N110 HiLux had left off in North America in 1994 before being replaced by the U.S-centric Tacoma beginning in the 1995 model year. And that the international-market HiLux should also be sold in the North American market with the venerable, tried, and true 5L-E Diesel Engine and the GD and KD Diesel Engines of newer designs.

Also, instead of styling U.S-centric Toyota products, Ian Cartabiano should instead focus on how much time and money the very company that employs him-the Toyota Motor Corporation had spent on the F (a combination of the Chevrolet Stovebolt inline-6 and the pre-WWII Toyota B engine), R, P, K, T, A (which would supplant the P and K engines), ZZ (which, in turn; would supplant the A engine), S (which would supplant the T engine); AZ (which, in turn; would supplant the S engine), E, NZ (which, in turn; would supplant the E); and the TZ Gasoline engines before they went into production. And how much time and money Hino-the Medium & Heavy-Duty Truck, Bus; and Diesel Engine arm of Toyota would spend on developing the J, B, W, L, Z, CN, N, KZ, CD, ND; and KD Diesel Engines before they went into production.

Last, instead of styling the exterior template for the NASCAR Stock Car version of the U.S spec Camry; Ian Cartabiano should instead be focusing on NASCAR’s old ways before Toyota had ever competed in NASCAR and when Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs were competing in NASCAR; when it didn’t matter if drivers and members of the pit crew were fit, muscular, and ex-ball players turned Stock Car drivers and mechanics; when NASCAR did not try to become as appealing to the average person as the icky, yucky sports of Basketball, American Football, Baseball, and Ice Hockey; and last-when CBS Sports had the rights to NASCAR and Ken Squier had called the races for CBS.
