To start at the end, not even the Toyota brand would continue to sell a
model for 25 years just because the price is right, nobody buys junk today
( exept Vanagonees ;-))
The engine that sits between the seats are a really nice piece of machinery,
and even though working on it through the mailbox opening is a bit awkward
and often limits the maintenance they start and run every time you  want
them to
The size of the car- well, it has to fit your ego as well as your butt but
still, after 25 years of sale they seems to fit the needs of a whole lot of
peoples
