I honestly can’t understand why anyone would buy a Subaru Forester for Toyota RAV4 money. Literally everything Subaru does is done better by a Toyota for similar money. And if you need a body-on-frame vehicle with low range (4Runner), Subaru hasn’t done that in decades.

Bigger than the GX but with Toyota styling is the Sequoia. The only other platform they have between the GX and Sequoia is the LX/300 series, which puts them back to 2 years ago selling ~2500 trucks a year. And knowing Toyota’s penchant for parts reuse, all three will have the same drivetrain (3.5L TTV6 plus or minus…

Doug DeMuro had a really great video about who the buyers of the 200 series were (him being one of them, also people who specifically didn’t want the Lexus badge):

Someone explain to me how Elon is NOT a complete idiot.

How customized was it?  I spec’d my LC then they found one in the build list that matched it (minus the wheels I wanted), they build / sell so many Corolla’s that the exact car you wanted was being built at some point.

I live in Denver, and flew to Georgia *twice* for an ‘11 GS460 then a ‘15 GS350. For some reason, RWD GS’s get leased for lawyers in Georgia quite often.

The factory 20's for the LC are unobtanium, been keeping an eye out but not having much luck.

Even if you don’t keep the truck, it is often worth buying the lease out lately just to immediately resell the vehicle. A friend did the same with her 4Runner, was offered $7K by the original leasing dealer over her buyout and thought she was getting a good deal. I told her to check CarMax, they paid her $14K over…

Allow real factory orders instead of being beholden to a dealer’s decision to give you part of their allocation that may not be what you actually want.

Selling these things is hard because who wants a yacht that’s been seized? It’s kryptonite for buyers.

I think our good doctor friend here might not realize that what he really needs is something of a road-going overlanding setup.

There’s no fine print.

“This is about doing what is right. Mr. Clagett lived up to his end of the deal when he got the hole-in-one and now Morrilton Country Club and Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton want to crawfish out of the deal,” Clagett’s lawyer, who is suing both businesses, said in a statement.

An 86 with the Camry V6 on a premium gas tune (i.e. the engine in every Lexus XX350) would be a fun car. Still less horsepower than the Supra from almost 30 years ago, but fun.

86 is a Subaru built in a Subaru factory.

They sold ~12-13K of them a year for the last 4-5 years of the run (2010-2014).

The shame is that if Toyota ever did bring the MR2 back, there’s a big chance that they wouldn’t build it themselves.  Considering that the 86 and Supra are both outsourced.

saved you like $50k

You can regularly find off-lease GX’s under 30K miles / $40K. LX’s also depreciate to less than their Land Cruiser cousins after 4-5 years.
