    How I know I’m getting old: watching the YouTube videos and thinking, “damn. That looks nice.”

    Well maybe this could be a replacement for my Focus wagon of 22 years old? Have been looking for a replacement but nothing fits the bill. Alltrack cannot pull. Outback has no knobs and like my Focus just feels cheap and I hate CVTs. The V60 is too small and the V90 is simply too rare (there will be none on the junkyard 20 years from now). Most SUVs have obnoxiously high hoods. This looks better. And yes after more than a decade in my Focus I am looking for something that looks nice inside. This does.

    I think this is the first Toyota interior that I really love. Looks nice and cozy.

    Ain’t it. Can’t call it a Crown if you still use a manual prop rod for the hood. Desecrated that name. Those V8 RWD flagships they got overseas are rolling in their grave with these things.

      The US market Venza existed for one reason and one reason only: insurance. The bean counters determined that the Toyota Harrier was a redundant model and that it should be discontinued, but hardcore supporters insisted on one more try and that they’ll sell any potential left overs overseas since Americans love CUVs. That backup plan in part allowed for the new Harrier to be green lit but it ended up being unnecessary since the car sold like hot cakes in JDM so very few got shipped to the states.

    Oh, FFS stop with the tiny windows! It looks silly, and makes the car difficult to see out of. The beltline needs to drop 4-6 inches.

      They always show the high-end with big rims that won’t be standard. I similarly don’t understand the draw of big wheels–they just reduce your efficiency.

    I’ll be honest not really blown away.

    Was hoping they would embrace the wagon look and give Subaru some competition (I know their not real wagons but you know what I mean that style). This just kind of feels like another fancy small suv.

    To each their own though I’m sure it’ll be a great car for people that like stuff like this.

      I dunno, I have a 2010 Outback and I think this is the best alternative if you’re looking for a similar, but hybrid version of an Outback. Subaru seems to be dragging their feet on a hybrid version that isn’t a total misfire (looking at you Crosstrek).

      Well, the Legacy is a real wagon.

      And the Crown Signia isn’t small or “fancy”. It’s just a couple inches shorter than the Highlander with the same wheelbase. The fancy version is the RX.

        The current MY Legacy is a sedan. Am I high or? Or are all of you living in 2005?

    All they have to do now is bring the gorgeous Crown sedan over… so tired of crossovers and SUVs…
