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

[Trob20]

I can see the estate becoming the next Venza although I will prefer the sport

Looks like the estate might become the Crown Signia. Hopefully the Sport will become the next gen venza.

That definitely looks like the Estate! I can’t believe Toyota is bringing that to the US! That’s the last vehicle in the Crown lineup that I thought we’d see. Maybe the US will get all four models?

But not the sedan

A shame Europe won’t get any Crown. As for the sedan, in the US it will get ridiculed without v6.

No, it just won't sell; RWD mid-size sedans, especially from mass-market brands, do not sell (even FWD sedans won't sell).

All the more reason for Lexus to come back with the GS.

That makes no sense. Bring back to market a model that no longer sells?

If (RWD) mid-size sedans ever sell in large numbers again (in great enough volume to persuade Toyota to re-introduce such a model in North America), it will be years. Someone, somehow, must persuade all the buyers who migrated to crossovers and SUVs back to sedans.

How does it not make any sense? It may not make sense to do that for a Toyota, but for a Lexus where you can have greater profit margins? Absolutely yes.

The 4GS had a lot of potential but Lexus barely even advertised the car. Had they actually bothered marketing the GS it would fare much better.

 

[Gor134]

Not to mention the luxury midsize segment sells considerably well still.

 

[Levi]

Only Mercedes E and BMW 5 sell yet ok. Skoda Superb Wagon as the cheaper alternative, and ES as the reliable and economic long term alternative.

Audi? They have the upcoming A6 e-Tron, and A7 Sedan in 2 years replacing the ICE A6.

Genesis also has their G80 and G80 Electrified, which is selling quite well and is reportedly the reason the G70 is being canned.

It has the same lethargic motor as the mirai

@11:55 Glorious sound of A25. Music to my ears

 

[Gor134]

What a beautiful machine. Now give it the V35a and bring it to the US!

 

[Levi]

As a personal car the engine s*cks. Now as Uber Black or the kind it should be very nice. Most E Class are 220d.
