Toyota Exec: Realistic Video Games Make Cars Unnecessary


And Toyota execs keep the BS flowing. Just when i thought that the abysmal comparison of a new sports car to a Japanese monkey's ass was bad enough, now the blame video games for the lack of interest in real cars

Maybe there is a minuscule amount of truth to it. Cars are necessary, games are not. But necessity is the excuse for why we spend so much on cars. In reality, we just want a cool toy. We don't NEED 300hp when 200hp is adequate.
So, he may have a case for people spending less on cars and more on video games, but to say that video games can replace cars is crazy.

Not sure in your area mate but where i live cars are an honest necessity even though i do see your point. Yet again, if you are sitting on your sofa playing GT 5 or Forza 3 you would probably feel the urge to go out and buy a really cool, sporty car and trade in your 10 year old Borolla (just saying) than just think "oh well, who needs real cars when i can have a controller"

yea they certainly are a necessity where I live too. I don't even have public transportation and most of my friends live 40 miles away from me.

Maybe one sentence came out wrong.

I think it can all be traced back to the poor economy. I don't think anybody would rather have a video console over a sports car.

I just had a n epiphany. Today I got a bill for $750 for my BMW. Yeah it was fun to own for a while, but I am tired of it! Would I rather have a 4 cylinder Accord and spend the $750 on an XBOX and racing games like Forza-3? HELL YES!!!

lol whatever rocks your boat mate ;-) I bought Forza 3, good game - great gameplay and very fun - although graphics lack compared to GT5
