Ya, I used to wonder the same. But again majority thinks them as the benchmark for cars, coz all they care about is fuel + reliability (== Toyota ), nothing else, though nowadays any other car is reliable and maybe would do better fuel than these Boats and Corollas. In a way, can't blame them, SL market is flooded with these vehicles and these myths coz of the demand. Ya, Allion is a boat lol, I would rather buy a Mark or Altezza, if it has to be a Toyota. If not a 3-series? Ohh never mind, people are gonna buy Allions and Corollas and FB15s and boring cars whatever you and i say
