Believe me it drives me nuts too. But in the words of Anakin Skywalker, “ITS WORKING.” So much so that even Mazda is doing it.

That looks like 80s Bertone styling. (not that it’s a bad thing)

The red/yellow/orange Toyota stripes remain my favorite racing colors ever.

That’s why I said interesting to see what they will do (if anything).

I don’t either. And I own a 4runner. But even that can haul more than a jeep. Most wont worry about that so I guess it’ll be a mpg comparison.

It’ll be interesting to see how much you can haul in the bed because if i remember correctly, jeeps don’t tow all that much. Something like 2000 pounds?

I don’t think this is catering to the off road market. It’s for people who want a truck to say they have a truck. Bonus is it’s a jeep too

“Equal scientific grounds” While I appreciate the idea, I’m not quite sure these people believe in science. At this point any attempt at reason is better than nothing though. I did think about this though. I bet most of them are in denial about some of their ancestors.

Tercel hatch?

That was the Land Cruiser Prado which shares its platform with the 5th gen 4Runner.

I’m assuming you had to just pull the trunk lid the rest of the way up right? I can see why it failed. That’s such an amazingly complicated system. I love it.

Looked it up. That top lowering is a nerve wracking process. Also, That color is fantastic.

I believe they did something similar on the 12c with brake steering.

I believe this braked the inside wheels to pivot the car.

Brake steer.

I would have joined in. Because hey, I’m stuck in a pringles can for a few hours with all yall so might as well make it tolerable.

No I’m well aware of how hard they are to find in the south east.
