Came across this article about the new 300 series LC.

Should be interesting. Lots of manufacturers being forced from big NA engines to smaller turbo ones. I don't really think that's a bad thing, especially for those of us that live at altitude. Funny thing though, Porsche tried this with the Boxster/Cayman line and it failed miserably. They were forced to drop the turbo 4's and go back to NA flat 6's. Not for fuel economy but for buyer appeal!
Can't wait to see what the new LC looks like.
Yikes, no tailgate would be a major bummer. If they did get rid of it hopefully it is at least has a roll down 4runner window and definitely not a side opening door
The unibody/TNGA design? I heard that too. Sounds like the Tundra and Sequoia might head the same direction as well...Looks like it will be on Toyota’s new global platform. Which I need pictures of to understand.

You think you'll upgrade to the 300 when it comes out? What are the selling points for you?There is a different platform called TNGA-F which will underpin the body on frame vehicles, so it will not be the same platform as passenger vehicles. The Tundra should be the first vehicle we see in the US using TNGA-F.
I don't dislike the 300 styling, but it seems like a stopgap measure before the next iteration is either a strong hybrid or EV. That will require lots of packaging changes, and I would imagine that's why Toyota doesn't feel it's worth the hassle to bring the Toyota version of the 300 to the US even though it appears it will come here in Lexus form.
