    I think the Crown Sport would be the most popular of Crown line-up in the US. It seems like a replacement for the Venza, even the interior is layed out similar to the Venza.

    Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

      Investing in a luxury supercar like a Lamborghini can be an exciting but intricate financial decision. The value of these cars can appreciate over time, making them potential assets. However, maintenance costs and depreciation should be considered.

    Kirk, Toyota's global production forecasts for 2024 have just been flushed down the drain by the Daihatsu RockyGate®scandal. We will see if the numerous investigations involved will impact production of any vehicles bound for North America. Getting back to the good news, it is great to see the premium-priced UX can now compete with a Corolla Cross Hybrid in the powertrain department. If Lexus would stretch its wheelbase to match the Corolla Touring Sports, they would really be on to something.🤣 Many of us hope the Crown Sport will soon cross the Pacific. Given a choice between Toyota's 'best car yet' and the Crown Signia, I would take the Merely Fabulous Crown Signia® ten times out of ten. 🤩🤩

    Toyota is trending the way GM was in the 60s and 70s. The bean counters are milking every dollar of profit that the consumers will bear, and the top management is asleep at the wheel as their reputation for making good value-for-the-money vehicles is getting ruined. It's time that they make a back-to-basic small truck, and start mass production of their PHEVs before Kia/Hyundai improve their PHEV powertrains.

Sitting on the interstate exits for charging for even 10 minutes is not in our set of expectations ever…when charging drops (to the same time it takes to fill an ice),and range extends by hundreds, we may be persuaded. Ill buy a phev next. Benefits: Stay in town, all electric, go on the road, its ice. ❤
