Reused old engines, trannies, odd styling and virtually nothing exciting in the lineup makes it a dud on arrival. Your highlighted comment is pretty much it.. which is the same as the Toyota crowd.

But overall Toyotas are certainly more class competitive than Lexus is. The current Corolla, Camry, Rav4, Highlander, Tacoma, etc. are among the best in their respective segments.
Prius, 4Runner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser are mediocre but people can't get enough of the 4Runner for some reason. |
Agree, the Corolla, Rav4, Camry and Highlander benefit greatly from Toyota keeping a 3-4 year product cycle even if they do end up using the same powertrain as before, at least styling wise they are kept fresh and appeal is high for those vehicles. Why on earth they haven't redone the Sequoia in a world that demands large SUV's is beyond me though, I mean they are seriously missing out on the Tahoe/Suburban/Expedition market, and for a brand that revolutionized the Hybrid, to not want to make an EV is seriously a head scratcher. Prius buyers are now moving to Tesla and aren't looking back.
