I mean, if it actually makes it into production, it’ll likely just be the new HiLux. That badge just has too much cachet for Toyota to drop it.

it is a boat until it reaches 35 ft

Honestly, I’d probably go newer and smaller for the base car. Maybe the Yaris WRC or Polo R WRC

Thought that it was weird that Mitsu would stop selling it as they’re everywhere here, then I realized that the news was about the US market.

And here I thought the answer would simply be “Pirelli.”

Sony bought them in 1993.

What I don’t get is that, they already have the regulation mandated taillights on the bumpers anyway, why not mount the ones on the hatch higher, and then use some extra clear plastic to extend it over the bit where the strut would be?

First, they beat them at Le Mans, then they sued Ferrari to stop them from using the F150 name, now they’re showing copying their trick of spontaneous self-immolation. Thus Ford continues to clown on Ferrari.

I mean, they don’t seem to be looking for snacks. This is more like a bunch of kids TPing a neighbor’s yard.

I’m guessing that the new 4Runner is going to lean more into being a “Tacoma but SUV,” in the same way the Fortuner is a “Hilux but SUV” in markets outside the US.

No, the new Land Cruiser (or Land Cruiser Prado elsewhere) is the GX, the 4Runner was originally the Hilux Surf, but that changed in the mid 2000s. When the rest of the world got the seventh gen (AN10/20/30) Hilux, we also got a new SUV based on it, the Fortuner. The 4Runner then became a North America-exclusive model…

If it’s any consolation, the current-gen Montero Sport comes with the same Aisin-Warner 8-speed auto as the 300 series Land Cruisers.

This made me realize that the V80 Pajero/Shogun has been around since 2006 with only a couple of minor facelifts.

Why does the “RS6" that Rory is recommending look like a Mk. VIII Golf?

So basically, next to humans and cats, orcas are yet another species on this planet with the capability to be jackasses.

Could be worse. At least it isn’t a Hublot.

I mean, if you’re wearing a mechanical chronograph (which rarely ever go below $1,000, unless you buy Chinese), then you aren’t wearing it to tell the time.

I mean, if you’re going for a 12-9-6 tricompax layout in that design language, then a busy dial isn’t something you’re really worried about. This isn’t some minimalist Bauhaus piece from a watchmaker in Glashütte after all. It honestly looks like just another marking on an already busy dial.

Somehow fitting since the DB7 famously used stuff from the Mazda parts bin.

Put up your own NGO and then hit up Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings, the dealership which outfits these for various NGOs around the globe.
