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

[JustADude]

Crown Sedan is a very big sedan. Dimension wise, I'd consider it to be a short-wb LS. It's much larger than the outgoing Crown since it's basically a Crown Majesta. Won't be a sporty vehicle and probably won't sell here in NA.

True now if they were to drop that 2.4 turbo hybrid setup in the mirai it would sell pretty well around 65k

Not a dig at either, just amazing the resemblance.

Are you kidding me

The Lotus is really ugly because it is very ill-proportioned. The the design language is very Chinese, by that I mean very mundane/generic and could be any Chinese brand. The Porsche Tyacan and Audi e-Tron GT are maybe inferior in electric tech, in in design they are the best BEVs, the only ones that are low and that do not have a "hanging battery belly".

Completely agree with everything you said Levi. Geely is absolutely butchering Lotus.

It looks like a melted jellybean with a botched facelift.

Completely agree with everything you said Levi. Geely is absolutely butchering Lotus.

Reading some of the Emira's reviews from the UK, even it is getting kinda botched by Geely's way of doing things, especially the AMG turbo 4 cylinder version. Handling isn't up to Lotus' usual standards either, and its MSRP is getting ridiculously expensive for what it can offer. On the Emira forum, some Emira owners have been facing some quite serious manufacturing defects.

アコードは復活したのになぜカムリは国内販売終了？　代わりは11月発表のクラウンセダンか!? - 自動車情報誌「ベストカー」

かつて日本ではセダンが市場の中心だったが、現在ではコンパクトカー、ミニバンに主役の座を譲り衰退の一途を辿っている。そんななか、トヨタのミドルセダン、カムリが2023年12月をもって国内販売終了となる。そのいっぽうで、9月20日（発売は20…

So according to best car the new crown sedan and crossover combination made the camry redundant granted the crossover has a consistent monthly sales figure of 3,000 which totals to 36,000 a year whereas the camry only sold 5,575 units in japan last year and itçs quite sad because before this toyota had the camry, mark x and crown in mid size now only the crown and mirai remain for the japanese market

''I was sitting in the driver's seat earlier, and I was able to drive the Crown (sedan). The interior was also delicately crafted. I'm looking forward to seeing how this Japanese manufacturing spirit and craftsmanship will be received when it goes out into the world."
