i can't get over that white profile pic. this thing is STILL a dinosaur. at some point an electric large suv is going to be available which is a foot shorter, way more interior space, quieter, and no more expensive. no the hummer isn't it. haven't looked at rivian r1s but assume it's smaller.

I’m kinda in the “who cares” camp in regards to people questioning the existence of these dinosaurs. Customers still have needs not met by EVs, so why not serve them? Doing otherwise is just leaving money on the table.

I like the smaller wheels better, no need to have huge wheels, give more tire; I dunno about the front looks weird but overall looks ok. lets see if this is any bigger interior wise from last generation

wheels on white one look stupidly small, but better on the red one of course.
it'll look better in black.

Looks great! Should prove to be popular. I particularly like the plain and simple greenhouse and pillar arrangement- old-school SUV where broad visibility was the norm.
Just don't like this new trend of the front end being higher than the mid-section. Makes the vehicle look like it's sagging in the middle. Started with the Camry and has spread all over. But that's just a nitpick.
I applaud Toyota on this one and the refreshed IS. Next Tacoma should hopefully build upon the momentum.

Any particular reason why you are concerned about the future of Lucid but not Rivian?
