    I actually have pictures of a JDM 1992 Toyota Celsior (Lexus LS400) in here somewhere; Also, would an engine from a Highlander fit in an RX300?

    At the end of the day.....many Toyota FWD/AWD products are or were initially based on the Camry platforms, either directly or modified versions. Celica, RAV4, Avalon, Highlander/RX, ES. Even the Sienna and Venza had a lot of Camry DNA in them early on

    Isn't the 2.4L in Tacoma cast iron and the one in the Camry aluminum though?

    I was speaking more to the 3rd gen with the 3.5. Not sure about the 2.4.

    I'd guess aluminum block with iron sleeves in the cylinders.

    Primary reason. Less weight.

    In modern rides, weight is the enemy of fuel economy.

    That's what they based it on, except Toyota's take on it was superior to the original Smart ForTwo; It has one more cylinder, a better transmission, and even a backseat!

    On Christmas Day I drove past what I thought was a Smart Car, but for all I know it could have been one of these IQ cars.

    It very well could have been a Smart Car; Smart Cars seem to be more common than the IQ...
