The way I see it is, Toyota should make things right for their customers and cover failed engines that show RTV in the oil. Toyota did NOT design the FA24D, they contributed their D4S system (same as...

The Toyota dealership I’ve been going to for many years usually has 200+ new vehicles at a time. I think now they have about 20. And most of those are listed as “in transit”. Very crazy times. Buying...

I noticed that with my FR-S, even though it has good visibility for such a small and flat car, the left side blind spot especially you have to be careful about. BSM would be very helpful.

I just wonder if that makes any real difference on such a low volume car. Would the average Toyota tech have worked on a FA20D? I have no idea myself but it’s worth considering IMO.

Michellin - Pilot Sport A/S 4

Yes for sure. Summer tires turn into hockey pucks in cold weather. I mean not even that cold, anything near or below freezing. It’s not fun at all. Unless you are in an empty parking lot. [emoji16]

That is one of my favorite design elements of the new 86. [emoji1] I’m a sucker for duckbill/ducktail spoilers. Toyota nailed it with the new Supra also.

I’m sure Subaru will offer a Performance Pack on the 2nd gen BRZ, and Toyota will probably do the same. I really hope so anyway, because I want it. [emoji1]
