Came here to post this. Now there’s an LC500 in my garage. All part of Akio’s plan, to sell me a slower car for twice as much?

Which are the fun Toyotas that we’re saying goodbye to?

What I want from Sato’s Toyota:

And why does everyone qualify unreliable brands with “as long as you keep up with maintenance?”

but I’ve owned 5 Land Rovers in 11 years

I attended a racing / track event with several people who test pre-release Toyota products last year. People who see what Toyota is doing before the rest of us do, and who hear what they are thinking internally.

Centrally located car storage a-la Matt Farah’s garage.

I’m struggling to think of who buys this vehicle.

Talked to a Toyota Master Tech friend about the new 3.5L TTV6, he says they’re getting internal engine training on this powerplant unlike anything he’s ever experienced with the company.

I didn’t have any problem fitting in it, the issue is that this version of the G-Wagon is so tall that it feels like climbing into an 18-wheeler. And there is no “stepping out of it”, you jump down.

I spent a day in this truck when it was in Colorado a few weeks ago. For irony, we took it to Harbor Freight and intimidated a Range Rover:

I taught 4 nieces how to drive manual in a ‘00 NSX:

Re: the Tacoma, for the last ~20 years Toyota has seen to it that the best Tacoma is a previous Tacoma.

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.
