54 year old man with 4 kids who grew up in Toyotas. My oldest girls learned to drive the Toyota Sienna that brought them home from the hospital. My son learned stick in the Toyota Echo I bought before he was born. This brought tears to my eyes.
I am also a father of 3 . My eldest is 14 and she is quite similar to the girl. Even we got a new Kia but I am still driving my 18 years Corolla happily. Never had any major mechanical problem and failed to start up.
My daughter is going to be in first grade and this ad made me emotional thinking about what her future will be. Thank you Toyota for reminding me to slow down in my life and to stay in the present.
My daughter was only 6 months old when I watched this vid for first time; i cried like a bitch. Now my daughter is almost 3 years old and I thought i was tough enough. Did not end well. Cry a river again
I think this is the only Toyota ad that I enjoyed most and cried. It was beautifully made, simple and yet truly reflected the love of a father. It's sad that there aren't any new ads like this anymore.
