While most Japanese auto execs touted the future of electric cars at the Tokyo Motor Show yesterday, Toyota president Akio Toyoda exclaimed he loves the smell of gasoline and hopes the choking, carcinogenic lung-destroying fumes of the internal combustion engine never become obsolete.

Toyoda also expressed disappointment in today’s generation, who don’t appreciate motor cars like he does. “Young people have little interest in cars as there are much more interesting things, and as an automobile maker, I find this quite frustrating,” he said.
