    Have a look.

    See the lower grill, upper grill, and fog lamps? I feel like I just got kicked back to 2004. YOW!

    That is VERY close to a Gen II. A little more angle but from what I can see it's similar.

    IMHO the 04 body looks friendlier than the 10.

    lol, Could that be because you have an 04 by any chance?

    I think the 2010 look much nicer, more sporty and more like a 'normal' car than the frog eyed front of the gen2. Again, I'm a little biased! ;)

    I didn't hear an claims as to what was under the sheet at 1:34.

    It does look like a Gen II w/ a Gen III toyota badge.

    They're messing with us.
