When the Hyundai Genesis sedan came out, it was the same thing.  It didn’t say Hyundai anywhere on it.  It had a distinct Genesis specific badge on it.  But it was still sold at Hyundai dealerships.  

If this is to be sold outside of Japan, I just don’t see it being sold as a Toyota outside of Japan. In Japan, and to us jalops we all know what the Century is and that it is the ultimate Toyota sedan, even more so than anything bearing the Lexus name.

Seeing this also with the 2023 300C.  Several have been attempted to flip, asking for $20K over MSRP for them. They haven’t sold at all.  Why would they when, even though they were ordered by customers, some dealers ordered them as well and they are available new on the lot for MSRP.  

You’ll be done before the mullet even grows out.

This is my take as well.  I anticipate that some form of the Hurricane will debut in an updated TRX... along with the possibility of a Ram REV TRX

Someone previously said “go big or go home”... but you didnt go big enough.

someone beat me to it.  :)

This is exactly what i was about to fire up my keyboard to say. When the Korean’s came into the US market, they severely undercut the Japanese and US small cars on price. Buyers could roll the dice on a car with less quality from a brand that people didn’t know about, because they were so much more less expensive than…

I agree with this sentiment, this seems like a Detroit-centric problem. All of these big theft rings from holding lots seem to be based in Michigan.

Glad someone else beat me to it, I was about to bang the hell out of my keyboard. All practical, and the only digital stich is the muffler rolling across the floor... only because the studio just wasn’t large enough to do it.

I love that the lead image from Toyota had nekkid people in it.

Don’t worry, Mopar V8 lovers, those cars aren’t going away just yet. Kuniskis tells the outlet that inventories of today’s Charger and Challenger will climb as Dodge stocks up before production is shut down in December.

oh yeah, i watched a few of them early on when they hit the auction blocks.  Those were deep in the red when it came to trying to flip them.  After a few of pretty much the same performance, I stopped watching any of the Lucid auctions.

I’ve watched with amusement at these flippers lately, not just the 300C but all sorts. I will watch almost any auction on BaT and Cars&Bids for these new cars with 90-200 miles on them trying to flip. 300Cs. Broncos. TRX. Raptors. Within the last year, with few exceptions.... the final bid on most of them have failed…

In EU and AUS, the wagon was sold as the 300 Touring.  Magnum body, 300 front end and 300 interior.  This was because Chrysler was the brand being sold outside of the US.  This is why the 300 front end swap is a completely bolt on affair.  All of the body lines from the fenders to the doors line up.  The 300 and…

Yeah, Charger front end swaps are pretty common since the underlying structure is the same. I’ve seen 05-10 Chargers, 05-10 300 (mine has this, pic below), 11+ 300, 11-14 Chargers, 15+ Chargers, and even a few Challenger front end swaps. All of them are mostly a bolt on affair, just needing the fenders custom blended…

it is.  I was just gonna comment the same.

My parents (and mine) 1977 Dodge Aspen station wagon.

I’m 100% in agreement with you on this, but I might be biased. I would have loved to see the Magnum continue the same journey that the other LX cars did.

The GTO debuted in 2004, the same year the Grand Prix got a refresh and 1 year before the Bonneville got the ax.  GTO should have been called Grand Prix, W-body renamed to the Bonneville and only offered as a 4-door, and the Bonneville hit the dumpster a couple years early.
