Well, certainly base your opinion on the photos. Don't actually go and look at the models before forming an opinion as to how big or not big they are and/or look.
Very traditional on outside vs modern on the inside? My biggest criticism of Toll, in fact, is that they are very traditional on the inside. They need to do away with formal living rooms and formal dining rooms in most of their offerings. Certainly, have some for those buyers who need/want them, but having a formal living room or a formal dining room that I can't easily repurpose for something else is a huge turn off for me. I think that for most families today, formal rooms hold little value.
Great capture of that staircase at Cassis!
Why is it so hard to believe that home buyers are present on the forum? Perhaps this demographic group just happen to be tech-savvy and internet-dependent for product reviews and information? There really aren't any other resources on the internet regarding Irvine real estate... Maybe there's no other place to be vocal?
When asked whether she'd heard of TI, the sales manager at marbella said "No, is there anything I should be worried about?"
The sales teams move from one development to another, it's not likely they scout the internet for real estate forums in every city they build in... Buyers are just excited, especially those who got into phases 1 & 2.
I'm not saying there are Toll ppl on this forum, but if there are, it probably won't be the doings of the on-site sales office. Aren't those people the last to know anything? Everything comes from the regional offices. All the paperwork on buyers, phase pricing, release dates, etc, etc, comes from and goes through there. Not hard to get a HS/college intern to post on internet forums as part of a job description.

Yes, they are really vocal about their purchases. That's because the majority of them are actually Toll Brothers sales people pretending they are buyers so that they can create hype for their homes. We all appreciate the inside scoop but don't believe most of these people are buyers. I just wonder why Toll Brothers feels like they need to spend so much time on this site to create the hype.

Based on these photos the inside of these homes look much smaller than the outside. Look at the master bedroom of the Santa Monica or the family rooms of all of these photos. Also, no living rooms included for the price point? These homes are very traditional on the outside and modern on the inside. Strange?

Yes. Good one Laniakea 
. When I was there I noticed the opposite. They were hardly unsavvy or unsophisticated. I don't think they would hire someone who didn't know how to use the internet to sell one of their premium projects.

We just bought in capri and had dealings with both the Marbella and Capri sales teams. I don't think anyone at toll is on this site. I just think all the buyers are excited about their purchases.

Yes. I am sure. All the excited buyers know about this site.

I bet the model designers have almost unlimited budget for upgrades and decor.
Sometimes I'll be looking through these pictures and I'll see something I liked when decorating my home (like the cool chandelier in the circular foyer). Then I'll remember why i didn't buy it, because the chandelier was $3,500.
Between the landscaping, beam ceilings, furniture, high end knick knacks, etc., I bet these models have around $600k in upgrades. Heck some of these yards probably cost $200k+ for front and back landscaping.
