Corrupt and biased automotive journalists continuing to be corrupt and biased. Nothing new here.

I've owned one Honda with VTEC, and it was one of the many problem areas that gave me headaches. In normal daily driving, the system was annoying because you could feel when the VTEC phase shift occurred, which made for a driving experience that was not very smooth or very refined. When driving...

Politically incorrect hot take: Honda and Acura only ever had good vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s that were small cars. Larger Honda and Acura vehicles were never that good. Since the late 1990s/start of the 2000s, Honda and Acura vehicles have had shaky and inconsistent quality and...

Yes I know I remember you well, back when I posted on CL. I will say you were luckier than some there. Posters like Gecko, Mike and myself way back on CL ending up getting more hate and unwarranted consequences from a number of the mods and admin because we were more visibly pro-Toyota and...

With respect, that doesn't really negate what I posted. Yes there could be a glut of current Tundras only partially produced like you described, but simultaneously what is also a fact is that the shortages have increased wait times for consumers and decreased supply for new vehicles. Demand for...

What is going on at Toyota North America with the new Tundra!? In my sincere opinion, this whole 'pre-reveal' process of the new Tundra has gotten really out of hand. To summarize, last year part of the new Tundra's exterior was leaked. No official news from Toyota occurred. Then a Super Bowl...

Wow, that 3/4 front view makes the front end look much better in my opinion than the straight-on front view. I already think the rear is an absolute home run, along with the profile and proportions. It looks like the front could be a home run in person too. I am liking this more and more. Also...

The exterior is certainly very generic, however I quite like the interior surprisingly. I'm almost shocked at how clean, uncluttered, and highly functional the interior is. No screens everywhere, no ridiculous tech gimmicks, and no Star Trek motifs in the interior. A surprisingly old-school and...

At this point, I would say anything is possible with regards to CL. Way back when Mike, Gecko and people like myself still posted on CL, there was some strong circumstantial evidence that Hyundai and Kia had paid commenters/posters at CL at some points.

I agree with what most people are saying here, and there's no way I can take this Wilderness Edition seriously given it has a CVT. However, I totally understand why this exists. The most enthusiastic Subaru owners take their vehicles to their limits. This vehicle exists for those that want to...

I'm very curious about the fingerprint recognition start button. Will that once and for all solve the huge worldwide problem of Toyota and Lexus vehicles that are start-button equipped being easily stolen? Then of course I have privacy questions, as in how private does that fingerprint...

From all that is known publicly, Toyota seems very confused with this new generation Sienna. On one hand, they reduced the practicality and function of the interior as a purposeful decision to prioritize form and style over function. By offering only the hybrid powertrain, they also made the...

Gecko, please let this reply be as this is very relevant to the Tundra. What a strange, strange post. What exactly are you getting at here? - First, yes SRT was disbanded but Stellantis also said high performance vehicles with high performance engines are absolutely not going away for...

All I will add is that in the very early days of Toyota's hybrids when they debuted over 20 years ago, "most people in the industry" though that Toyota's hybrids would fail. How wrong they were. Don't be so sure about the future. If EVs fail for example, I wonder if folks like yourself in that...

Speak for yourself. As someone who used to post on CL a long, long time ago (in an era where Gecko and mikeavelli were very active on CL) CL is not fine, not at all. The individual model forums are not quite what they used to be. Their car chat or general chat sub forums however are absolute...

I could say so many things about the state of Toyota in the last few years, but I'll keep that to myself. In the immediate context, Toyota needs to be very careful to listen to and meet the needs of North American customers and not alienate them. For body-on-frame trucks and SUVs, in North...

Those quad exhaust pipes on the Type S are ridiculously large. I'm not sure Acura made them big enough.

Nissan really hit a home run here I feel. To me it looks much better than the Zupra. This has an exterior that I think will age extremely well. In fact, I think it's the most stylish and handsome Z in decades (since the 4th gen Z32). Also the fact that this is a 100% Nissan product automatically...

While the LS front overhang is certainly ungainly, I respectfully disagree with the TLX and ES. The TLX still has a large front overhang, that is masked by the silhouette and profile. The ES in real life looks quite good proportionally speaking and the front overhang does not look that ungainly...

Yes, I'm personally starting to get really annoyed and troubled by the lack of huge torque in Toyota and Lexus engines (assuming these numbers are true). Unless this engine is exclusively meant only for full F vehicles. On the subject of torque though, a big reason why Teslas sell has very...
