Now........ Why waste a nice Avalon......??? What a waste... . I have also seen destroyed Land Cruisers.
Can't they find any other manufacturer's vehicles to blow up? Oh that is right. Most of the world doesn't have many Fords and Chevys. That is bad for Toyota.
These people have no value for human life forget cars.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Bombings and a mortar attack struck Shiite targets in Baghdad and north of the capital on Monday, killing around 100 people and wounding scores in a further sign of what appeared to be a renewed campaign of Sunni insurgent violence. The Sunni mayor of a hotbed of insurgent violence was also kidnapped.
The U.S. military also reported the deaths of two Marines, raising the two-day death toll to 27 in a particularly bloody weekend for American forces in Iraq.
Monday's first blast, a parked car bomb, tore through stalls of vendors peddling DVDs and secondhand clothes shortly after noon in the Bab al-Sharqi market between Tayaran and Tahrir squares — one of the busiest parts of Baghdad. Seconds later, a suicide car bomber drove into the crowd.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you so much, I thought you would know I was playing around. Please don't do anything drastic over my insensitive comments.

Yea, thats what I'm thinking after looking at the picture.
I mean the car didn't appear to go up in a big ball of fire and it appears the back small window is intact. Then again, the blast could have happen near to the right side making the left side seem unscar.

Well, here in Italy, Fords outnumber Toyotas on the road at least 3 to 1. And there are quite a number of Opels and Vauxhalls running about (GM Europe). But hey, I think the point of this story was massive losses incurred in a suicide bombing, not the make of the car...I guess that's not important though.
Thats not the first Toyota I've seen destroyed while watching the News....blowin up alot of Chevy trucks the Iraqi police/terrorist drive now.....not to mention Humvees...GM is sure makin money off this fucked up war!!............I'll STFU now!!!...Don't get me started!!

Most of those Chevys and Fords have been " I M P O R T E D " by the US forces themselves... After all they need to know that America is fighting them... :lol: ..... and what is better to represent America outside USA.. other than Ford and GM...... ASK DSMNICK... He will tell you.
3,000 lives lost in a 4+ year campaign to fight terrorism as opposed to 3,000+ lives lost in one day due to terrorism...that isn't to say that 1 life lost isn't too many, but somehow perspective always gets lost in this whole thing....
Lots of cars sold here are also sold in Iraq( not just the Humvee's for the U.S. or the UN's armored Suburbans and Land Cruisers).
In fact, many of Toyotas products are very similar to what they sell here. They have the 4runner (which is called a Land Cruiser) and Tacomas there. Pathfinders, Trailblazers, etc. are also very popular. Chevy sells a Colorado pickup with a different front end. The Korean car makers are there, too.
Surprising enough, but the baghdad area has a big middle class. Not everyone drives those crappy cars you see on CNN. A lot of the cars they sell here were also sold there.
You can see that non-military contractors, UN, and ambassadors, etc use traditional SUVs outfitted with armored plates, runflat tires, and bullet proof glass. Here is a convoy going through bagdad...warning...little scary. You can see older Buicks, Toyotas, and what looks like older Hyundais in the streets.
