me when I heard it's going fwd
Thought it looked familiar that side didn't match 😂Is someone playing a joke by slapping the Toyota logo and Crown name on the picture of the 2023 Peugeot 408?

Cuv is understandable but an suv is not likely
If the Crown fails as a Toyota, they can just cancel and disavow its existence. Can't do that with a prominent nameplate like ES!I can't see this sedan doing well in America, especially if it's more expensive than the Avalon. Why?
It's ugly.
It doesn't look particularly large?
The ES.
Just imagine they are just throwing away one of their most legendary nameplatesIf the Crown fails as a Toyota, they can just cancel and disavow its existence. Can't do that with a prominent nameplate like ES!
Here in the US, the Crown isn't as well known...of course, ROW it is YMMV.Just imagine they are just throwing away one of their most legendary nameplates
A standalone Crown sedan model won't sell in North America, but not for those reasons. It won't sell because North Americans have given up on full-size sedans (no more Avalon or Taurus or Impala) and mid-size sedans (unless they are named Camry or Accord), buying crossover models (hatchback and station wagons with black plastic underbody cladding, riding on higher suspensions) instead.I can't see this sedan doing well in America, especially if it's more expensive than the Avalon.

If it's a liftback like the A7 or Stinger where it looks like a sleek sedan but actually great trunk space it should sell a bit better. Toyota doesn't have anything like that so it would be good to test it out and see if some buyers will go with this sedan with a good amount of trunk space since that's one of the reasons people go with crossovers.A standalone Crown sedan model won't sell in North America, but not for those reasons.

(Ugly? The current Camry, in SE and XSE trim especially, is not exactly good looking.)
I could see a Crown Cross (a Camry Wagon similar to an Outback) sell in limited numbers or a Camry Crown high-end trim of the Camry (that would be a funny name, since "Camry" is derived from the Japanese name for crown, "kanmuri", so we would have a car named Crown Crown).
Always wondering about that "trunk space". The only times I see that trunk space utilized is when families go on vacation (which is rare or poor people move -- caring their things in their "little" car rather than hiring movers with a truck -- which also is rare.If it's a liftback like the A7 or Stinger where it looks like a sleek sedan but actually great trunk space it should sell a bit better.
