I am interested in seeing how this turns out.

That mentality kinda contradicts the entire point of the commercial though. Which is to on one hand advertise the 2011 Corolla and on the other hand give Miku and entrance to NA. It's funny at the same time because fans wanted an English Miku. The Miku FB page had an event a while back saying that if they hit 39,000 fans, they'd make an English Miku. (it was probably in the works already, but they probably wanted some good PR before they announced it)

According to Sankaku...
Quote: Holy pomegranate, did you guys check the official page?
Who the pineapple draw that Miku on front page?
Looked likeing shemale.
I kinda like it
But Im weird so dont mind me.
Nice, except the corolla is on the American top ten most stolen autos list for the last 17 yrs. I pass.
They are giving a Miku life-size doll with each purchase? I might consider getting one
Legendary? The Corolla lost that status when it lost RWD.
About the commercial, Mikus eyes look scary. And Hatsuni? Ugh.
This must be a desperate move by Toyota .. Selling based on just reliability doesnt cut it anymore.
There are new exciting C-segment (compact) startups from Ford, Hyundae and Kia vying to eat away Corollas dominance in the US market.
They couldnt outright use Tonys art so they just Americanized her face.
So much fail trying to put the super soulless Corolla with miku and that site picture. El oh El, so much fail.
Oh god, so bad. Fail. Im not as happy about the commercial as I should be.
What? Why? Normal people are probably going wtp is that!?
They should raffle off a Miku itasha.
Jesus that was terrible. Did they really think her voice cracking was commercial worthy?

Just so we don't keep going back to this: English Miku is being made; they hit 39k a while ago and pretty much announced that they were doing it right away. There's been updates since then too.

I really loved how the reactions from 2ch on the same page included questioning whether she was old enough to drive.
