GA-L platform is very underutilized right now, so why not use it some more😂.
We’re all thinking the same, this Crown will be the base for the next gen ES, but we’re not seeing any PHEV…
Does this means our next gen ES will go in the same path?
But those are only SUV's... TMC is yet to launch or trademark any indication that a PHEV sedan is coming...
When do we foresee the next-gen ES coming out -- 2024 MY (seems unlikely?), 2025 or later?It feels like ES 450h+ or ES 550h+ is a given for next gen? All of the hardware is there... I think Toyota has just prioritized PHEV in CUVs due to market demand, but it's certainly possible
I'm betting new ES is:
ES 350h (240hp)
ES 500h (367hp)
ES 450h+/ES 550h+ (302hp/??)
... no more ICE-only model.

That is what I thought of. But being hybrid V6TT it will be heavy.Is this "Crown Coupe" essentially going to be a next-gen Supra that everyone originally wished for, being based off the LC500?

The iForce Max required strengthening of most of the Tundra's driveline, hence the very high weight penalty (~220kg).GA-L-based Crown Coupe or Supra with the iForce Max 3.4L + hybrid system would probably weigh more than the Tundra TRD Pro. I cannot imagine.
That's a very good newsAccording to bestcar sedan will go on sale at end of next year
Camry redesign is due for next year, so new ES will debut in 2024 I believe.When do we foresee the next-gen ES coming out -- 2024 MY (seems unlikely?), 2025 or later?
Crown coupe is more gt like LC, I don't think people wanted a gt supra, supra is a sports car so not really.Is this "Crown Coupe" essentially going to be a next-gen Supra that everyone originally wished for, being based off the LC500?
