Personally, I just wish it was an actual Toyota product made from actual Toyota parts and pieces and didn’t look the way it did. The Bimmer version looks much better, and that’s saying a LOT considering current BMW designs.

The PHEV is too much of a compromise. Give me a real wagon on a dedicated EV platform. No groaning ICE noises.

Just one man’s opinion, but every car with an automatic transmission would be better as an EV. 

Man it’s the simple things in life. I love it.

Every vehicle on sale in the US today that is not an EV should be a PHEV. Every single one. There is no excuse for a modern car or SUV to get less than 50 miles per gallon, and there is no excuse for a full-size truck to get less than 30. It is trivial for a modern PHEV to have 25 miles of electric-only range with…

Big rigs, mail trucks, UPS/Amazon vans, and...

There are specific Concours classes for unrestored/original cars, it’s always my favorite part of Pebble Beach. Once you’ve seen tons of overrestored versions of the same car it gets kinda monotonous

I hope it stays with true enthusiasts who will enjoy it, and never ends up with some dope like David Lee to film a tacky Youtube video with it, and then lock it away in his fancy, private car-prison.

Stellantis does’t seem to have a good grip on what the US market wants. The Fiat 500 was a novelty when it came out and everyone that wants one has one. The Dodge Hornet is intriguing but overpriced, and the up market versions are tuned to be too hyper for the mainstream — they need comfort and convenience trims, not…

Sadly insightful point. As this SCOTUS has obliterated agency abilities to do basically anything that isn’t explicitly written down in statute...we’re going to see a lot more of this.

The oversight is going to hurt a LOT more than the fine, even if they get some minimal veto as to who the overseer is. That sort of thing is a gigantic pain in the ass for a company to deal with.

Unfortunately, this is to be expected.

Coming from a Lexus fanboy, but the Lexus GS. I know, the demand for sedans is dying, but between the non-existent 2nd row of the IS and the too-boatlike-ride of the ES, there’s not a good inbetween for some of us who want something with more rear legroom but also sporty (hint hint bring back the GS-F). I know Lexus…

Wagons, all of them. Camry wagon, Accord wagon, A4 and A6 Wagon, 3 series and 5 series wagon, C class wagon, Jetta wagon, all of them.

Camry Wagon.

The two men — worth a combined $422.5 billion

“Our budget for crash testing vehicles is limited so we try to target big sellers” is some next-level shade. 

Going to guess a lot of politicians with an R by their name (plus indifferent D’s) make sure it just gets some scraps, regulation is evil to them.

The GMA T.50 does sound glorious, but the LFA just has a resonance that the GMA lacks. You can’t beat that Yamaha-tuned exhaust sound.
