      Personally hate it, think they almost perfected their interior design on the LS500/ES 2019 and up generations. If they just added some ambient lighting and moved the screen forward with a digital Gauge cluster I think it'd be perfect

      Well in some ways they went back with plastic looking interior. Small Induction engines that won’t last. And extreme price tags. Way too many models.
      Other than the 99% of main things. Sure I agree with you 😂

    17:21 These V6 Twin Turbo engines are much quicker in acceleration than the V8’s Toyota uses worldwide. They might not sound as robust with down pipes than V8’s but then someone has to modify the exhaust note on them. The Land Cruiser 300 series Petrol has the same engine. I watched a video from Saudi Arabia where they tested both LC 200 and LC 300 in the desert strip, and the LC 300 literally walked over the V8.

    Toyota has totally changed the 250 series. Some like it, some don’t. I bought the 150 series LC Prado 2.7 litre inline 4 cylinder a week back, and it’s quite a large body considering its engine size. Truthfully, I liked my previous 120 Series Prado size. Yes, both are underpowered in that engine configuration, but the 150 series is huge compared to my older 120 series, which I somewhat don’t like. It’s like a yacht on wheels. I prefer smaller vehicles on highways and obviously off-roading.

    9:15 I prefer the previous 150 generation rear lights tbh. But then the 250 series looks a bit narrower and shorter than the 150 series. The 150 series is huge compared with the previous 120 series parked next to the 250 generation.

      Most the people who bought a Lexus aren’t ripping through town. They were old ladies who bought a new car right at 10 years and went and got the oil changes twice a year. Ok that fine the demographics changed. But don’t say they went forced air because of power. They went because of emissions as most every consumer wants their car to last longer then more HP off the line at the green light. People are becoming more poor and if they wanted a “fast car” they’d have bought a corvette
