Keep my posted on when your car gets on the train.

Excellent information and very helpful. Thank you! I am looking into this and some of the cause and effect of such.

Has anyone had a MY22 Premium or A91-CF allocated to a dealership in the Pacific Northwest? If so, where did the car ship from originally within the USA (California, Texas, etc)? How long was the wait for the car to be loaded on the train and for the train to arrive in your locale. The internal...

A modified GS6 is what was in the original mules.

Manual is apparently coming and from the sound of it to the 3L for MY23. Merry Christmas :D

Apologies. I actually saw another thread briefly pop up in my emails referencing that I had been missing and that some were worried (I meant to reply and forgot). I have 5 projects currently, and there's simply not enough bandwidth to get even close to catching up. Basically just been really...

Unfortunately that would likely fall on def ears, but the GR Yaris was developed around the effects of smaller engine and emissions requirements (specifically the racing series that is based on that principle). Toyota will continue to innovate and look at trends in that space to try to appease...

not one of my projects, and I havent been around the engineers for a few months now so no clue.

^ You have to have people that care and care a decent amount in order to push things along, and those people need powerful friends to back them up. What happens when you have few of those or ones with VERY short attention spans? Very little coupled with confusing outcomes; that's all I'll say.

BMW was multitudes harder to deal with than Subaru. In fact, Subaru was fairly easy in comparison all things considered. But that's not really why things are going in a different direction IMO

It's possible, but it's not just that staff cant work on it properly, it's also the lasting sales impact of the pandemic coupled with what was already a ton of money and a strong public focus on trucks/SUVs. Really this year was just another setback to add to the list. Things aren't looking...

^ Generally takes about 5 years, yes. But just because the A90 is set to end production then doesn't mean that whatever replaces it will instantly be available. It could also not happen at all given the current automotive climate, but hopefully that's not the case. What if it was from another...

Very possible, but I haven't heard anything about it. I've been stuck working from home for a while now, so kind of sucks as far as finding out new details on stuff, especially since right before that I was crazy busy with three simultaneous projects.

Rumor has it the next RX is hybrid, but that doesn't necessarily mean Mazda is going to be the answer :) Speaking of which, what would everyone here prefer? a V6 or a legacy design like an aluminum block inline 6? Is the latter design more important than the advantages presented by the former...

everything hybrid by 2025 doesn't necessarily mean there won't be legacy models carrying through like say the Corolla GRMN or GR Yaris; it just means newly developed platforms and models will be designed ground up as hybrid (like the new Sienna) or that there will at minimum be an option for...

Maybe, but the 2025 statement is/was strictly for Toyota vehicles versus shared projects as I understand it.

I want to respond to this, but it's too early to scratch more than the surface. I'm actually a little bit concerned by the thread alone lol, but it's still vague enough to be okay for now. More than details, it's about not stepping on toes as everything is about politics. It's also still very...

I loved his 4cyl review haha.
