‘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

 

Its about 18% based on 2021 sales numbers.

Anyway. It's a low number of rwd Toyota sold as compared to it's fwd models. Ok let's move on...

 

Ok … I’m 99.9% sure we should indeed move on..

 

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

 

LOL you just had to, didn't you?

 

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.

 

Sorry, i converted the Toyota sales sheet to an excel format and played with the numbers. You can say that Toyota / Lexus only sells 2% sport

 

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

 

Rather have an EV in my garage. Feel just as safe for me. Oddly, the most common car fires I see are old American trucks

 

Had one try and kill me by having it's fuel spider crank and light up in my shop. Got to love old vortechs.....

 

​​​​​​ 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

 

And what happened when you lit it?

 

Toyota should come out with a few TV spots. We sell boring FWD **** boxes but your garage will still be standing when you get home.

 

Don't you drive a Camry
