Yes, but you need to look at the bigger picture. Why Lexus was viable to begin with and effects of government intervention are both topics related to what I said. I consider myself to know quite a bit about that era. Yes, some might argue that the Japanese launched the change, but look at the underlying causes of…

Everything lasts if you love it enough.

I can form sentences with proper grammar. This makes me smarter than you (since you wish to chat about this).

No. I'm saying that as the absolute truth. People who drive those vehicles drive them because they're cheap to own and it makes them feel good. They're generally not bright enough to think about the long-run. Welcome to the mind of a self-proclaimed environmentalist.

Leave it to a true "wingnut" to drag politics and personal emotion into a discussion. I can teach you about economics in conjunction with the environment, however, because you may not understand how simple human interaction works.

Oh, excuse me then. What happens to a vehicle like a Leaf after its short lifespan is ended? After new battery technology makes them obsolete, what happens to the old vehicles? Bingo. They are disposed of. It won't be long before our environment will be "suffering from the terrible battery dumps" environmentalists…

This is because it was developed under the conjoined Daimler-Chrysler reign (parts sharing which was more prominent on lower-cost platforms) I'm talking about vehicles developed under Daimler-Benz and Daimler AG.

The quotes are there because most of the self-proclaimed "environmentalists" are not really helping anything in the environment. Environmental science is just a useless subject based on feelings.

Not according to them. It's the same reason why they drive disposable Nissan Leafs and other cheap-build econo-vehicles.

If you knew some history of the competitive nature they were in at the time, you would understand. But, roughly, that was a cause.

We'll never see those days again thanks to governments and "environmentalists."

All of the old (and new) Daimler products will run great, but they still need to be eyed by someone who knows what to look for.

I saw the EVO interview as well, and they finally hit a homerun with this platform.

I did the same thing. Haha

They made a few. In fact, they TRIED selling them but we're forced to remove the option because none of their customers wanted one. Shortly after, they permanently abandoned the MT.

Times change. Honda isn't exactly the company it was in the 90s either.

One of the execs will abandon the MR because they realized how much better their FR V10 NSX was.

It actually has 3.902 liters of displacement.

It's more on the restrained side, but I guess that's a good thing.

New Century vehicles from Toyota have mostly wool seating, not cloth. BUT, I think full cloth was an option on pre-90s vehicles.
