    I am totally uninspired by the normal 3.5 now in the 3 g.
    Think of it. The 4.0 has the same torque but 80% comes on 1000 rpm earlier. It was more drivable. An e motor full torque comes in just above zero rpm. I think how quickly subways fully loaded get up to speed. The 4 cylinder is only a small part of the total torque out put imo . The Highlander hybrid went to a 2.5 four from the 3.5 six it used to have by putting in a larger battery. It gives up nothing thing and is quicker. Imo, you’re at the mercy of the computer.

    Have owned Toyota’s all my life. They have never been best in class for performance, other then durability and economy. No matter what they do, “much faster” won’t be a priority.

    All those clicks means that website just paid for itself. Some of us might get a surge in email offers about the new Tacoma-themed sexual enhancement pill.
