I really like those round headlights. But even the standard ones look really good with that front end. 10/10 Toyota great looking vehicle.

Going J70 inspired is an interesting choice, since they were never sold in the US. I like it though. My only gripe is that in pictures the taillights seems sort of out of step with the retro design language. I also wonder if the iForce Max v6 setup from the Tundra would have been more appropriate. Won’t know until…

My wife has a Sienna Hybrid. We took it road tripping a few times over the summer for extra cargo we installed a roof box. During the drives probably about 5 or 6 times an error message popped up on the dashboard saying that the Engine Coolant was overheated and we needed to stop and let the car cool. I took it to…

Very well said, I was thinking exactly the same. EV’s and efficient vehicles aren’t getting “screwed” by this and gas guzzlers aren’t necessarily getting some unfair benefit from it. More like it’s taking away the current free pass heavy EV’s are getting, and eliminates the subsidy that gassers are currently paying to…

I think this argument distracts from the point of the gas tax in the first place, which isn’t to encourage efficiency but as a way to pay for infrastructure that everyone uses. The idea behind it being a gas tax was that it used to be generally true that heavier cars used more fuel and cause more roadway damage so…

I thought about the Flex design the other day and I think that is the perfect SUV design. Boxy to accommodate more room, not overly tall or big. It was basically a stretched Sion XB and that was a good thing...now I don’t know how it drove, but from a design perspective I liked it.

this is the bullshit we put up with. the bank and uber are both pointing fingers at each other instead of just fixing the fucking problem. who cares whos fault it was, change the currency. my moms two health insurance companies are both fighting over who is the primary and responsible for the larger share of her 270k…

The big question is:

It’s not bad looking - a little derivative, perhaps. But my biggest issue with Hyundai is that they just can’t seem to keep a consistent design language. Every vehicle they produce seems to be in a completely different style than the others. For better or wore, when I see a Chevy I know it’s a Chevy without having to…

We had to run out of people dumb enough to take on a 1k car payment at some point.

Bronco Sport is based on the Ford Escape, a unibody crossover with no low range. The Land Cruiser will be body-on-frame with a transfer case. No shock that Toyota isn’t doing a removable roof, but otherwise it’s far closer to the Bronco / Wrangler than a Bronco Sport.

awww, why couldn’t it be a toyota sequoia?

I fly almost exclusively under conditions where I don’t have to pay to check a bag but I still won’t check a bag unless I absolutely have to or I don’t care if I lose everything in the checked bag.

I’m also convinced, purely from anecdotal evidence from flying for work for years that part of the carry-on conundrum is…

A huge chunk of the reason I always carry on is because I’ve had the airline lose my luggage before. The most notable time was when my wife and I were on our honeymoon and our bags showed up two days after we got to our destination. And even then, the owner of the resort had to fly to the mainland to get them for us.…

I don’t think it’s the problem with the price. I have some airline credit cards that allow me to check bags for free on United and AA but even with that I will never check in my bag if possible. It’s the whole checking in, waiting to get the bag back and dealing with possibly lost luggage that scares me. Anything…

Unfortunately and ironically for this job, I suffer from pretty gnarly motion sickness. I’ve got to pretty much keep my head up the whole time. So yeah, I’ve tried books, but I do not think the passengers next to me want barf on them.

The Eclipse GS-T was the FWD turbo model (the GS-X was AWD) I was specifically thinking about the 2nd Gen (94-99) but the 1st Gens were also cool.  For how much affordable power you could get and without the complexity of AWD the GS-T’s were quite the car.  Also the 5th Gen and up Celica’s were prettty great FWD cars…

The Maximas were sportier cars in an era of Toyota cost-cutting. Sadly Nissan let these cars wither on the vine while Toyota learned to improve quality while cutting costs.
