The chat started when a couple of commercials appeared featuring Jan looking quite pregnant, and a few months later, a flat-bellied Jan who had obviously had her baby and headed back to work. Toyota Jan is beloved by many, and has proven herself to be a worthy spokeswoman for the Japanese brand in America. But is she the ultimate automotive spokeswoman?
