I hate the grill and Lexus is obsessed with this shape across sedans and SUVs. My wife thinks it looks like a maxipad. She keeps asking why they didn't ask a female about the grill design before choosing it as their key design trait.

I think the article I saw said the feature was related to auto-turning off the engine if you get out and lock the door without realizing you left the engine running.

The heart burn I have over black wheels is that I was born in the 70s and if a car had black wheels it was because someone stole the hubcaps. If you were broke, you then drove a car with black steel wheels that looked horrible.

Toyota Tacoma and Tundra to be built on new shared platform - Autoblog Is the 6th gen waiting for this new platform?

I had one set of new stock tires that would track the grooves in the cement on I-15. The grooves are there to provide traction in bad weather here in Utah. Discount Tire said different tire designs would do that. It feels like you're getting hit by wind but it's the grooves man.... the...

My wife watches every nature show. Here's what she says about deer. 1. Deer have poor eyesight. 20/100 vision. This means that the level of detail whitetails see at 20 feet is what normal human vision can see back to 100 feet. 2. The "deer in the headlights" look is real. Deer actually can...

You've proven my point.

My theory is the shoreline blue when dirty kind of blends in with asphalt. :)

The best way to kill a forum is for a couple people to sit on it and bash anyone that posts. I've seen good forums die from just a few people being turds to new comers. Listen to your mom, "If you don't have anything nice to say...."

My wife had a 2011 4runner limited in the shoreline blue pearl. It was strangely weird how many times people would almost run into her as if they couldn't see her. Even a police car one time almost hit her. Finally after a few years, she got bumped by someone that didn't turn into their...

It is frustrating that Toyota makes the features a trade off. If you want x you can't get y.

I was told today that if products are imported from China to Hawaii, they must first go through the port in Los Angeles and back to Hawaii. Is that true? (In the discussion we were having it wasn't about cars, but furniture.)

I have a 4 dr sedan (brand to be unmentioned as Big Cuss is allergic to it) that has an 8 speed in a 4 cyl with a turbo. It gets about 35 mpg on the freeway (I average about 24 mpg with my city driving). 0-60 is about 5.8 sec. I don't know if that is the typical. Here in Utah, we have...

Cool. I haven't seen any real details about those that have done it which makes me think it is easier than expected or few are successful? :) I'd love to see your results.
