This thing is just V35A + (Lexus GS badge) away from perfection 😭
😭😭

And by perfect you mean less cabin space than the IS in a significantly larger and heavier car. So why not just buy an IS500?

It’s crazy to think Toyota offers all these ways to power a car. It should be commended. Hoping the tech continues to get better.

In total, 2737 Mirais landed in customers' hands in 2023. Supra sales reached 2652, just over half of the 4952 Supras sold in 2022. To put both numbers into context, Toyota sold 11,078 examples of the more affordable GR86 and a startling 232,370 Corollas alone, finishing the year off with more than 1.9 million cars sold in America in 2023.

That can severely skew sales figures. Just like all the rebates and "green" incentives for buying EVs.

Exactly what BEV did it outperform?
