    The Automotive Industry Tariff Thread

    We signed a free trade agreement with S.Korea in 2012. Current effective rate is under 1%. We do have a massive trade deficit as we export less there. Buddy threatened 25% tariffs and an agreement was made at 15%. So Americans will pay more for Korean cars soon enough...

    16th Generation Toyota Crown (Sedan, Cross, Sport, Estate/Signia)

    For all intents and purposes this thing is pretty much perfect as a family vehicle for those that don’t want a crossover. Driving it like how my parents would lol. it works wonderfully. 240hp is just enough with 4200lbs and the CVT doesn’t was smooth. Just buzzy and loud flooring it. Otherwise...

    16th Generation Toyota Crown (Sedan, Cross, Sport, Estate/Signia)

    Yeah I still have it and now i’m noticing some cool design details. It’s certainly handsome. I wish it had the optional awd and engine in the crown platinum for a hot wagon feel. Cargo room is solid, about 70 cubes with the seats down and they fold flat with a nice extension over the foot...

    2021 Acura TLX Type S

    For the life of me I cant understand how people call them an “engine company” and this is their best. Like this was their top motor. It was 45hp less than the Q50 which was like 5 years older. This MPG was poor. I will never understand how their new engine was just so behind the competition...

    Toyota Yaris Master Thread (Sedan & Hatch Discontinued for USA)

    CAR magazine had a ten hot hatch comparison and the GR Yaris won. Americans mags would say the civic drives like a ferrari. The euro mags explains in the wet the GR Yaris is unmatchable. They don’t just drive on one dry road in Cali.

    Honda Prelude Concept

    The prelude is a revered nameplate and was a pretty sporty coupe, especially the last generation. It was accord based. Honda makes a civic and slaps prelude on it with no manual or sporty intentions. So no Lexus or BMW hasn’t done this to a revered nameplate. It would be like Lexus making a...

    16th Generation Toyota Crown (Sedan, Cross, Sport, Estate/Signia)

    I thought this was interesting…. Signia sits higher like a crosstour without the dumb sloping roof. XC90 and signia share some shape similarities as volvo is still more wagon looking. XC90 is beautiful still. Interesting to see so many heights variations here

    3rd Gen Toyota Sequoia Thread (2023+)

    A friend just got a platinum. I honestly wasn’t aware the cargo room behind the third row was as bad as the LX. The Sequoia is 208” long and the LX 200”. . Wild
