    It is! They knew the 04 was the last year of that body style, so they didn't put as much effort and finesse into them. ;)

    Hence 03 was the best year model. :)

    '98 here. I'm thinking that us early first gen'ers are a somewhat limited group after the buy back program. I would expect to see more of later first first gens on the road now.

    96 Taco! One of my favorite 1st Gens. I've never been terribly fond of the grilles on the later 1st gens.
