2024 Taco EV

I’m definitely not doing anything for status. My girl likes BMW’s so I bought her another one. She drove her 3 series for 20 years so she was due for a new one. It’s a nice SUV. It damn sure better be for the price.

Vehicle prices are nuts. Inflated new vehicle prices will keep used car prices high.

 

It kinda sounded like it, sorry if I misinterpreted it.

 

“Toyota unveils two EV crossover concepts arriving by 2025 The automaker also detailed its battery goals for 2026 and beyond.”

Not very Tacoma-y. But hey, they're getting with the EV program, so there's that.

 

Yes, not Tacoma but I shared the link because of the hints at upcoming Toyota battery technology.

 

Not much of a car guy, kinda like both of those. Especially the Urban SUV, sorta of looks like the VW Atlas, which I like. The new Crown Signia isn’t bad either. Nice to see Toyota getting away from the angry robot styling.

 

I agree the silver one (from the rear) has strong Atlas vibes for sure. The profile of the light copper one on the left kinda looks like a stretched out Lexus RX. Neither are bad looking.

 

I am liking the new design language. Currently styling is a bit too garish for. The future designs are still aggressive, but sleeker and polished.

Nice!

 

First thing that crossed my mind...

 

That brings back memories of some good times in high school…like blowing past a cop in my ‘71 Chevelle at a 120 in a 45.

Know EVs are mighty quick, but they look awfully limp dick…doesn’t quite give tingling sensation in yer nether regions. Cue the AC/DC Back in Black…


…but alas my assjackery days are behind me.

If I wanted to go back to a full size I would really look at the Lightning. I am pretty sure that I could get the price below what an fully loaded PR or Sport would cost and then the tax credit on top. https://www.tworiversford.com/new-Mt+Juliet-2023-Ford-F+150+Lightning-XLT-1FTVW1EL7PWG53171

 

Back in the mid 80's my one buddy blew past the cops in his GTI and managed to get far enough ahead to hide, but Pleasant Hills Police cars were V6 Buick Regals if my memory is correct.

Cop said it took him 5-6 miles to catch us, we probably could have out ran him, but iirc we slowed down because we hit the next town over. But that is when I was 16, oh to be young and dumb again, now I am just dumb.

Poor planning, main reason an EV won’t work for me at the moment. Like to flip coins at cross roads when I travel.

 

It’s funny because our masculinity is defined by the vehicle we choose to drive and femininity is a bad thing
