‘Well if TOYOTA sold 515,000 units in the US in Q1 of 2022. And if Toyota sold 110,00 4R/Tundra and Tacoma in the same period. Add in the rest, 25-30%. I have no idea the entire number or percentage. Toyota probably sells more body on frame trucks/SUVs than Tesla sells cars in one entire year. Worldwide

Interestingly, if you just count the sporty RWD vehicles (no trucks or SUVs), its less than 2% of Toyota/Lexus sales

I don't even know why we're having this debate. Korea's best sports car is a stinger? An NSX blows the doors off that as do other Japanese sports cars. Then their build quality is infinitely better and they will last much longer.

The problem with building a vehicle like the NSX is that nobody wants to buy it from Acura. Which is why it's cancelled now so

Acura's Type S lineup currently is total joke performance wise, and their recent debacle with the Integra is a laughing stock all over the internet. I wouldn't use them as an example of "Japanese sportiness" lol.

Which there is nothing wrong with, IMO that is. That's what other brands are for. Toyota/Lexus didn't have an EV, so I went to Ioniq and Polestar. And so far, neither have burned down or caught fire..yet

When I was a kid, I put a tiny bit of gas in a bottle cap and lit it with a match and almost burned our garage down. So what you experienced must have been way worse
