    Put the e-brake back on the floor with a pedal so we can actually have a god damn usable sized center console.

    I wouldn't try to redesign it, but leave it to Toyota as in my opinion they have done a pretty good job up to now. I have a 1st Gen and a 3rd Gen and both are perfect and neither have ever had to go back to the dealership.

    Y'all will laugh, but I want the drivetrain from the Rav4 prime or one just like it, tuned for a little more torque. The prime is already faster than the Supra so power wouldn't be an issue.

    PHEV could easily push fuel econ to 30 mpg+, and separate elec motor for rear axle would give better 4x4 capabilities than we have now. Silent running mode at off-road speeds would be sick.

    Onboard power similar the F150 hybrid would also be rad

    1. Change fifth gear in the AT to be smack dab between 4th and 6th
    2. Two diff gear ratios. Regular and off-road/towing. Could be by model.
    3. Fix cab mount to allow larger tires to fit.
    4. Slight increase in cab size to increase rear leg room and headroom.
    5. Better seats.
    6. The engine will be reused from another production vehicle for profit reasons so I’m not commenting on that.
    7. Higher payload.

    They should make a GR version with a twin turbo 2UR-GSE :D
