I’ll call it a grey area, but for this question I’d take the proven decade old design of the 4Runner over the new fancy hybrid Land Cruiser. I’m sure the LC will be very dependable as well though, Toyota is not going to screw around with their legendary nameplate.

The question specified new cars, and unfortunately as of today you cannot buy a new Land Cruiser in the US. 

I am 6'4" and had to sit in the back of a CLA once for a brief 5 minute drive to lunch. Can confirm it’s pretty useless. Mustangs and Camaros are spacious by comparison. 

Their performance models are a bit of a cult product but people do buy them and they offer a reliable alternative to the German brands. ISF values are still high a decade after it went out of production. An SUV would reach an even broader customer base. Plus with their model line there are so many compelling…

A UX with the Corolla GR drivetrain would be pretty compelling. 

I’ve always thought it’s surprising none of the Japanese automakers have offered a serious performance SUV to rival the German and American offerings. A Lexus RX with the v8 from the LC500 would be a very compelling and much more reliable GLE AMG competitor. 

I’ve had a 98 Altima, 2 300ZXs (still own one) and a 1994 J30.

The vast majority of the cars I’ve owned have been Nissan products, but the newest was a 1998. They have really dropped off this millennium.

The offered the 4 cylinder for a few years early in the model cycle, it’s been 6 cylinder/5 speed only since 2014. 

The 4Runner dropped the 4 cylinder in 2014, it’s been V6 only since then.

The Telluride sells well, but that’s a 40-50K vehicle. 

This is ridiculous, and Honda’s response definitely makes me think twice about buying one of their products. 

My father had this happen last year when a hurricane flooded his SUV during a cruise. It was drivable so my parents weren’t stranded but the insurance company totaled it out from the electrical damage. 

I live in Fort Lauderdale Beach and I believe these scooters lasted six months before the city banned them. They were primarily used by drunk tourists who either drove on the street weaving around cars or drove on the sidewalk and hit pedestrians. 

Oh god please don’t tempt me. It’s good that I live in a Condo, if I had a driveway it would full of old 90s performance cars. 

I badly wanted a 9-3 Viggen back in the day. Still do, to be honest, but maintenance costs scare me. 

You can get an older Volvo V60 under 20K. Lots of space with the rear seats folded plus Volvo comfort for the older driver. 

Doug, like Bezos, is proof that parents supporting their kids’ ambitions sometimes pays off massively.

Early Aston V8 Vantages are dipping back in to the 30s price wise. They are gorgeous and basically everything I want in a sports car, but parking that much money in a weekend car that will probably cost thousands a year to maintain is very hard to justify. One of those things where I could, but I really don’t think I…

As a PC guy I’m assuming 3 more years at this point.
