The USA hasn’t seen a corolla wagon/ hatch since like 95 or 96 and I have a huge problem with that. Especially since they’ve gotten just big enough to fit taller people.

1 - Finally someone uses the name SuperTruck. Pretty sure I had that idea at age 5.

I think it's kind of irresponsible to make cars that average 9 mpg

It's my opinion that some of the complaints with Honda are outliers. I do a lot of reading on the LTQI that Lang made up and even though some of the accords and Odysseys had tranny problems they are still exceptional vehicles. Because remember...Chrysler, Ford, and GM are setting the bar.

ROFL at the tiny Toyota pickup in the video, loaded down with junk. Gotta love LA.

yes please.

yeah. I hate bringing it up but my dad died recently when he was hit riding his bicycle. Driver didn't stop. If they had taken him to the hospital he could have lived.

I'm not sure I understand what I just read. Of course, I'm an engineering student, so I tend to say that a lot.

Was it in 4LOW bro?

10/10 would hoon.

I feel ya. I love old Toyotas but 80s non-trucks are pretty much all gone, here in TN. I'm really holding out for a Starlet, my parents had one when I was a tyke.

Honorable mention: the "ECT" button on 80s-90s EFI Toyotas. Supposedly, the ECU will shift later for more usable power. A friend and I tested it out on his 89 V6 pickup. It didn't feel the slightest bit faster down the road, no matter what you did with the gas pedal. Same story on another guy's 96 I4 camry.

It's awesome to make something so radically different, but for what real purpose? I don't see the benefit. Traditional crank engines have the advantage of decades and decades of refinement, and they still have some potential, especially with modern hybrid drive and forced induction. I'm not the most creative guy…

Disagree strongly

I had no idea that inboard brakes were ever a thing on production cars. There's an SAE collegiate race series called Baja where we make little 250 cc off-roaders - one design a few years ago we used them, that was the only time I've ever seen it...wow. Yeah they were a pain too

Are you talking about the old Nissan hardbodies? In my opinion, I think the old Toyotas are very slightly more reliable, but considering that these trucks are now 20-30 years old it depends more on how they have been maintained. In most cases I think people stick to their brand - Toyota guys (of which I am one) think…

I hear that.

Starred for 6 sigma usage. I was thinking the same thing.

I read that the biggest problem was the emissions systems, here in the states. Aside from the interior/non-essential bits, how did the rest of the car hold up? Was the drivetrain lacking?
