This technology HAS to exist... right?

Yes this exists. It is expensive.

There is LumiLur which is a light based electrically charged paint.

There is heat reactive paint like Tcoat's Hotwheels example.

True and it's amazing stuff (I've seen it in person) but it doesn't let you change the color of the car as it really is only visible at night. It doesn't quite have the output to show up in daylight or at least not in the samples I saw, and it only comes in about 7 or 8 different colors, and you can't switch between them.

Still, its a start. I'd love to have something painted in it.

It is cool until the circuit gets cut from a rock chip then becomes uselss, and I can’t imagine the paint lasting as long.

Or you just CGI everything like the marketing folks do and just flip a button. I bet you there's a pearlescent Nissan Altima in someone's archive for the lulz.

Makes you wonder where prolifant augmented reality can go. All cars are made the same, you just buy skins and soundbytes from the brands to skin it in AR lol.

Definitely an interesting idea.

There is a reason that it went back up there instead of a toyota suv.

Camry has been the best selling sedan in the US since 1997.

Go drive a new one, especially the V-6 XSE if you can find one. TNGA platforms have exceeded handling expectations.

The last Taurus rolled off the line. Few here will be shedding a tear, but after renting some of the last gen thought it was a pretty good BIG car when new.

SHO will be missed here. I never drove a new TT AWD SHO but it must have been fun.

Scroll down to see a production line straight out of the '80s, at least compared to a contemporary Toyota line.

The best selling vehicle in the Toyota lineup since 2017 is an SUV, the RAV4.
