Toyota Dumps Macho Miku

Toyota’s decision to aggravate all Miku fans everywhere by insisting on using a bizarre American comic styled illustration of the world’s foremost virtual idol has finally been rescinded – not only is the new version not a flagrant rip-off of Tony’s artwork, it is rather tasteful and even displays a tantalising glimpse of Miku’s upper thigh.

Before (with Tony Miku for comparison):

After:

Sadly Toyota still does not offer a negi-green colour scheme for the car itself, or even a free wallpaper of its tasteful art, but other than the awkward CG version of Miku it still employs it is at least not actively antagonising the very demographic it was so clumsily attempting to court.
