Heck, I just want an inside rear hatch handle and rear window switch in the cargo area to make camping easier.

That might be true. It'll really compete well with the Honda Element too!

But seriously it's a little bit of an odd choice given that Subaru just became an official subsidiary of Toyota. Could sell under both brands?

I remember seeing a button to open the hatch in an aftermarket kit. I "think" it was for the powered hatch.

Check out the Ultimate Camping Mod for rear window pop and up/down control. I’ve done it and it works great. I located it on the rear hatch window sill area. Here’s the link. See the later posts in the thread.
Ultimate camping mod- rear window up / down and hatch pop with ignition off!

Something worth noting. Toyota does still makes some stunning low volume stuff. There are very few cars I'd buy over this at any price if I had the $ and storage for another weekend cruiser convertible or sports car. One of these would be in my garage. I'd probably even put a gray hair toupe in the glove box and some golf clubs in the trunk so I could fit the part of a typical owner. For me - the LC500 will never go out of style.

I'm with you on the LC500. I watched a 20-minute video once of a guy taking it through the twisties, and it sounds great, too.

Nice Car, but I'd have to get a Boxster/Cayman GTS for that kind of money.

And it is the one in the lineup where that "thing" in the front works(where normal cars have a grille).

I think it just fits that style of body. IMO it actually looked great on the SC430 when someone did a modified front clip.



On a SUV... not so much. I'm not sure it gets worse than the LX570 version.

I think the need to use the same design language across an entire brand of vehicles makes no sense. What works on a 4Runner doesn't have to also work on a Camry.


I really hope the 6th gen 4Runner gives us a very obvious cut-line and/or separation point for the lower bumper cover like they do on the newer Prado. Looks a little funny - but functional for aftermarket bumpers.

Radically different class of vehicle though. LC500 is a grand tourer (available as a convertible).

Boxster/Cayman (especially in GTS trim) is a full on mid-engine sports car.

They're both great vehicles for the price, but this is like comparing a Jeep Wrangler to a Ford Expedition .
