I have no idea how Clear is even a thing.

Yes, I work for Toyota.

The manual transmission gearing is to far apart between gears, it has a fragile clutch which is very easy to burn out, The engine is derated on the Manuals vs the Automatics, and it gives the Gladiator the lowest tow rating of any of them. up to 7760lbs tow capacity with the Auto, and 4,500lbs with the manual.

Counterpoint: my 20+ year old Viper with 135,000 miles on the odometer that I can daily drive and fix myself with a standard set of hand tools and also completely thrash around a track with almost zero cares in the world.  The only expensive running cost on it is tires at ~$1500 a set.

they are rather popular where I live ( Montreal ). I see a ton of them everyday.

I am that one person that would buy the manual one over the auto. That said I can see why people would want the 3.6L V6 over the other engines, it’s a very good engine. I’ve driven a few Jeeps with that engine and I understand why it’s good, it had good throttle response and makes real power if needed just by going…

This seems like a scary but useful tool for law enforcement provided that it’s human controlled. If it is autonomous, I’m totally against it.

Ugh, please don’t let Musk see this.

He’ll instantly divert all Tesla funds into making the ED-209.

Our only saving grace will be that it’ll never actually get finished. 

What an odd decision it was. I can only assume that anyone that wanted the antiquated 3.5 V6, probably older folks that still think 4 cyl engines are only good for pizza delivery import hatchbacks, would be the type of person to want an automatic transmission to go with it.

I am a JDM weirdo fan (I wished for the March Box in the penultimate slide...) but I do NOT want a Will Vi. Can’t imagine many others would, either, but it would certainly get attention.

One time I was driving to work and I got hit with a massive attack of IBS and there was a Burger King to the left of the road so I swerved across 4 lanes at speed and right over a curb-height divider I didn’t register was there. I was in a heavily used 10 year old Corolla at the time. It incurred zero damage.

It looks like the body is not sitting correctly on the chassis, causing the nose to point down and the cab to angle upward. It certainly isn’t a showstopper, but this is definitely something I would want to see in person before handing over the cash.

um... this speaks volumes.

I’m perplexed at what the design goal was here. Take an unloved modern Ferrari chassis and marry it up with the least-loved 250 GT body, then make it ugly?

Still the most amazing dipshits driving these things around.

“No. I’ve ruined two perfectly good Ferraris!”

“Hey that guy has the same car as yours”

I still hear people complain about how cars used to be safer because they used more steel. A lot less often than I heard that in 90s, but it still leaves me dumbfounded every so often. They’re not even all boomers, either. 

“Carburetors is better then all that fancy computer controlled nonsense.”

I couldn’t justify buying a car with this many miles but if it still looks this nice after 300+ thousand miles I can’t say $5900 is a bad price. Reluctant NP.
