i also daily a FJ…it has 250k miles and alot of those miles are offroad…one of the best suv/trucks ive ever had or drivenI drive a FJ. It's by far the most complimented car I've ever had.
Don't sleep people love Toyotas
If only the FJ was better on gas I'd be good til the cybertruck for real.i also daily a FJ…it has 250k miles and alot of those miles are offroad…one of the best suv/trucks ive ever had or driven
Perhaps I’m (likely) looking at it from a ‘traditional’ POV:i dont think i may be understanding what youre saying here…but there are plenty of toyotas (especially theyre trucks) that have huge enthusiast followings throughout the world that would dwarf whats going on with tesla…
the land cruiser comes to mind…that thing is all over the world and has been since the late 1950s, it has a range of consumers (warlords, the offroad crowd, and soccer moms)
Toyota has never built a car that consumers seem to deem a competitor to the C class or 3 series.
I listed Lexus in another response. The OP called Tesla the 'new Toyota' not Lexus (and hasn't referenced the brand once, only Toyota) A Camry is very different than an IS in execution.

But....as an aside, this was the markets response in US sales:
Lexus IS sales All time high: 2006 w/ 55,000 examples sold.
BMW 3 series sales ATH: 2014 w/141,000 examples sold.
Tesla Model 3 sales ATH: 2020 w/206,000 examples sold.
Toyota itself sold almost 40% more Camarys at its ATH then the highest seller on this list w/ substantially cheaper average transaction price than either the IS, 3 series or Model 3, so I still am not seeing the clear connection between Toyota and Tesla here.
I actually liked the IS in concept; the first generation was extremely 'Japanese' in its overall approach, even if it cribed themes from the 3 series.
Eh,
I think if they hit the tree the injuries would have been much more severe. the minivan absorbed so much impact that did them a favor compared to hitting a mature tree that will not budge when you crash into it.
hypothetically if he could go back in that situation i woulda swerved and hit the curb and a parked car as to not result in any injury.
the bad thing about rear ending a car thats at a red light is that if you push the car into intersection its possible for them to get tboned
luckily it looks like the light for cross traffic turned red so there was no cross traffic but still very very dangerous
To be fair, Camrys(camries?) and Model 3s benefit from fleet/rental salesI listed Lexus in another response. The OP called Tesla the 'new Toyota' not Lexus (and hasn't referenced the brand once, only Toyota) A Camry is very different than an IS in execution.

Toyota Altezza over C-Class any day
The average transition price (and sales volume) specifically for the M3 is far closer to the BMW 3 series than the Camry for example.Youre taking that “Telsa is the new Toyota” comment too serious. You (in general, not you specifically) hear that and you should just assume it means Tesla is becoming just as common as a Toyota, or that Teslas are becoming the default choice in a certain type of car people are looking forward to (Camry/Model 3). Otherwise its not that serious to be pulling sales numbers of whatever.
And all I read was 3 or C series doesnt have a Toyota competitor, which the IS is I mean, I dont follow what youre trying to say?
Thinkware. Great company. I've posted about them here plenty of times. I got mine from them 6 years ago(0 complaints) & now they have even better ones. My brother can tuck & hide the wiring completely for you as he did for meAny security/dash cam recommendations and/or places to install one in NYC/NJ area?
All luxury brands (especially the ‘challengers’ i.e. Genesis, Cadillac, Lexus, and the worst offender, Infiniti) benefit from fleet sales.To be fair, Camrys(camries?) and Model 3s benefit from fleet/rental sales
