Everything about Toyota on this doesn’t compute.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe there isn’t some big decided-upon “view” on EVs and these journalists are just calling it like they see it and sometimes where these sites end up is just above or below what you personally think and therefore you feel like certain sites are particularly pro or anti EV?

Shocking that people aren’t wild about $60k (at 7% interest!) cars with limited, often-broken charging infrastructure and insane repair and maintenance costs.

Jalop has been pushing EV’s as hard as the rest of them. The commentariat as well, with what seems very few readers replying with “Hold up a minute” on EV’s. But even Jalopnik can’t ignore what’s happening with the market.

Ahem: “Is it car-related? Not at all. It is, however, plane-related, or at the very least plane-adjacent, and we write about plane stuff all the time. So why should this be any different?”

Towing yes. Payload no.

Did you see The Northman? That was pretty good.

okay...but that doesn’t really tell us much. Toyota has historically created a baffling overlap in SUV’s so to hear that they don’t think the overlap will be a problem is not much.  I guess if they sold 180,000 4Runners and 5000 land Cruisers before and they sell 145,000 4Runners and 40,000 250 series...its all the…

It’s good to have products that have a bit of market overlap, as long as they capture enough market share overall.

If you are in a rental car and don’t know the area, especially alone...please don’t go “exploring”. This, stupid people and animal encounters, and slip and falls are about 95% of all SAR efforts.

After having Malibu rentals over the years, the most recent model was so bad that I can’t imagine anyone buying one outside of rental companies. The seventh generation (third modern generation) was actually a decent car but it was one of the few cars to get worse instead of better in subsequent generations. I find the…

“ Pay nine bucks a day, and you can do whatever the hell you want with a rental car.’

There’s an almost perfect overlap between the people who say they would want to buy this and the people who also never buy new vehicles. The most basic trim 70 series is mid to high $80k in AUD - equivalent to high $50k in USD. Higher spec trims (which new car buyers in North America would absolutely want, the low…

The US and Europe have more critical crash safety criteria that the Series 70 would most likely not meet without altering the simplicity that makes it so appealing.

“It’s shared with the old 200 Series as well”

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…

I drive back and forth between homes in Maine and Florida, and regularly do long work trips where I can’t be bothered to look for, or wait for, charging points.

Well, to start, I do a lot of road trips throughout the year that are > 700mi in each direction. Technically, I would need 460mi of range just to get from where I am to the closest state line.

Yep.  There’s a reason why a RAV4 Prime is something like a 2 year+ wait in Canada, while Mach Es are gathering dust.
