    I hear what you are saying, and I agree on a certain level.
    I also feel I'm maybe just a little cooler than you with my TRD Pro badging. Not a lot, just a smidge. I'm pretty badass anyway, but we can all use just a little extra...

    I even Plasti-dipped my Exhaust tip black. Now for the rear bumper and I’m done until I put a Fox lift on in the Spring.

    Oh my God! I need those now!!
    I have an MR2 Turbo powered Sandrail. I will only wear those when driving it from now on!!

    Scrotum sand is going to be a bitch, but it's the price you pay.

    Nice deal. It's always good to pin them down to an OTD price. It cuts through all the dealer BS.

    I went in search for an SR and left with an orange SR5...so I didn't stick to my original plan at all LOL.

    I first put on 2 coats “Rustoleum High Heat” paint. Then 5 coats of Plasti-Dip. Still looks like I did it yesterday.

    Lol what the hell did you think was going to happen when you started this thing:) of course the kids are going to run wild with your title and opening post ! But look at all the posts you generated:). And everyone, for the most part, are having fun.

    So if SR5, really means “sport rally 5”, is the SR just sport rally?

    Is that like Jackson 5 or just Jacko?

    I did, and every post up to this point (just to make sure I wasn’t speaking out of ignorance).

    Your initial post proves what others have said: it’s a marketing ploy to get the masses purchasing. There are several cosmetic upgrades. There are negligible performance upgrades. There are options for most mass consumers.

    In all reality, it’s the icing on the cake for someone on the edge of purchase. But hey you already knew that...

    Based on your original post.
