I find it interesting no one mentions the one right above the GR Corolla as well, as that one hasn't been even hinted at. My wife is excited for that.

Can you at least tell us if it will be a sedan or CUV?
Hard to really say, not really a sedan. Will say it will be luxurious like a Crown normally is. I imagine they will show it off overseas first, but it should be the same.

I'm guessing maybe something a long the lines of an Accord Crosstour or BMW Gran Turismo?

Bestcar is saying this is the Crown. It will be FWD and AWD.

Yuck. I know it's just a render and that we've known this would more than assuredly be the case for a long time now but a crossover does not scream "aspirational flagship Toyota brand model" to me in any way.

I'll never understand why everything in an automaker's lineup eventually has to become a crossover or SUV or why so many people buy those shapes in such numbers so as to make that a never-ending trend.

Whoever is buying SUVs and Crossovers today obviously aren’t living in CA where unleaded REGULAR gas is just shy of $5/gallon.

Isn't there going to be 2 versions? The sedan version for people who still have logic and common sense in their respective brains, and then the crossover version for all the weird people out there who think a tall passenger vehicle is a safer than a passenger vehicle at a low to normal height.
