Yes, you are right about the GS to Camry comparison. They are similar in size, but are vastly different. The GS was built under the N platform, which was the luxury line, sometimes called the "GS platform". I was referring to size. In retrospect, your point is more accurate.
Looks like a Hot Wheels car.
Really? How I remember was the GS is the RWD sedan platform that they shrunk to make the IS, and is based off another international Toyota RWD car (Crown?).
I was wrong on my information of the GS being an upscale Avalon. Having had an Avalon in my family I always thought it would make sense that the GS would be a upscale image of it but I was wrong and I apologize.
Yes, you are right. Please refer to post #41. I was referring more to size.
Forget Lexus. Give me a Toyota. Lol
Maybe they copied Tesla
Doesn't look like it, if you watch the video, though the guy doing the video did work for Tesla previously. While they are both using cylindrical cells, their cooling and pack design seems pretty ingenious.Maybe they copied Tesla
Oh I'm going to watch the video right now, was my first thought about if the design is good, it would be copied.
The concept really made some heads explode.There’s a 200t which is a 4cyl turbo and the 350 which is a 3.5L 6. The 6 is, I think the same block they put in everything else, but is a different animal within. I can’t recall the details, but it’s high strung, stronger internals, oil sprayers, both port and direct injection, and seems to have a following of its own for transplants into other vehicles. It’s not the quietest motor and is rather thirsty. It runs like a scalded dog if you get on it, but at least mine isn’t ”honda-refined“ at higher rpms…. it’s rather like thrashing a v6 in a minivan.
I think people have largely moved on from a Prius.
That really wasn’t what it was about, the model name, it was about the high 133 mpg e number. As for moving on from the Prius that could be a new topic in “vehicles.”
