Saw it.  Thought it was a Jetta.

Legroom in the rear with the driver’s seat set for a 6'2" human please.  Also, realistic comfort on long drives.

Did anyone at the press event elaborate on what service will be like?  For instance, will you take it to a Toyota dealer and then have to wait for BMW parts to arrive, and will the techs be up to speed with all the usual BMW fussy things?

so who did this first?  this guy or Life OD?

Wow.  So dumb.  But I get it...whatever.

Having been to Hawaii years ago and seen the rampant body rot, I’d want COPIOUS pics of the frame before saying NP to this one....

If you can’t even bother to take it to a 15 minute self wash and spend $10 to make it look nice in photos...Auto-CP

This Car is around the corner...

I’m not saying they should’ve dropped in a 20-year old engine and called it a day.  But they already had a block/crank design that’s super sturdy...why not focus on heads/turbo technology to make it a modern engine?  I just don’t buy the statement that they didn’t want to “start from scratch”...

Rust belt resider, checking in.

Why do I keep hearing “develop from scratch” about this I-6?  Toyota had the 2JZ which is STILL doing incredible duty making all kinds of power in drift/race/street cars all over the globe.  And if the tech in that was outdated, why not just start with the proven platform and go from there?  I just don’t get…

Every moment you own and drive the 924 you will be wishing you invested that money in a 944.  Just like when I had my E36 325is and all I ever wanted was all the goodies that came on an M3.  Your take is wrong.

2.5 miles in work clothes is basically a 45 minute walk.  You’re not going 4 mph in khakis and a button down with a backpack on...or with a winter coat and boots.  I feel like comments like this must come from the sunbelt....

Yes.  This.  You get my point.

To me, this is the PERFECT environment for EV racing.  The runs are super short and massive EV torque/power is so well suited for drifting.  And for the noise, wouldn’t this be a great opportunity for the aftermarket audio manufacturers to partner up and figure out how to make GOOD sounds for EVs?  When is the last…

I really do like old Volvos and they have a great cult following, but I feel like I wouldn’t be able to convince my family that driving around in this old shoebox is cool.

Sometimes it’s just SO OBVIOUS why a car is rare.

I’m confused...the link you shared shows that D2XX *was* the 2nd gen Volt platform, which used updated Voltec hybrid drivetrain.  It’s already the platform for the Equinox/Terrain, so I don’t see why those couldn’t/wouldn’t be adapted to use Voltec...  I think long range BEVs are great, but I also think for around…

you sure about that? I know they killed the Volt, but they didn’t say they were getting rid of Voltec powertrain. In fact, they’ve been teasing a crossover for years. Do you have inside knowledge or a link?

Haha!  Or literally any other type of outdoor activity where you don’t want to run the engine all the time...  Having the larger battery would be helpful.  Toyota hybrid setup runs the engine basically all the time.
