She's onboard, she just goes back and forth about the doors. I'm sure I could easily get a Carnival for MSRP or below I just don't even want to deal with dealers like that.

 

Done at a Toyota dealer too. I wonder if the part was difficult to get

2 seater. I hope Toyota brings back the MR2

 

Found this in the Car and Driver archives. Fun to look back. Here is their review of the 4Runner from January 1996. Paging @LexsCTJill as I think you'll enjoy it.

As a side note, I really enjoyed 1990s Toyota interiors (nostalgia and all that). From the linked article:

 

Those are still all over the place, great trucks.

 

My 2020 Tacoma, a double cab long bed TRD Off Road model in Cement color, was one of my most favorite vehicles that I've ever owned. I miss it all the time. I hope your neighbor enjoys it as much as I enjoyed mine.

 

Thanks for the Page, appreciate that. I never had one of these as I had more money at that time and bought a LX470. But, they are iconic. I agree with you on the interior, it’s great very functional. Too bad it’s a little bit slow. Something I never knew till I got my new 21 model. The previous gen models are all made in RHD Japan model Hilux Surf with small little diesels. . 5th Gen is not, it’s made just for the US.

 

Stumbled onto this, always liked these cars.

No wonder 3800s felt so good, the torque peak was 2k RPM flat. I always knew those weren't high revvers but that's a lowww peak.

That's at least a $60,000 car today which is sort of mind-blowing. But these were all around.

 

Now THAT is a Lincoln. A proper Lincoln. A sedan too

 

Finally seeing LXs pop up around town and a few at the dealer, it’s about time.

I like it but it has been well surpassed by virtually everything in all but off road capabilities, including the Denali which is $30,000 cheaper.

The competition has just gotten so good, same thing why the LS is a mess. It wasn’t such a runaway in the past.

 

+1.

And that is a pre-1997 Town Car...IMO much better looking than the post-1997 version, which incorporated too much Jaguar and Kia in the roofline and rear end.

 

Those Town Cars weren’t bad, they were just absurdly big and ponderous to drive around.

 

I was shocked to see two them during a recent trip to Minneapolis. From the rear they don't really have much presence. I really wish Lexus would've pushed themselves with the LX, especially given the splash they made with the GX550.

 

When I saw it roll in....it did this body roll that was awesome. Like a giant boat doing a big evasive maneuver

 

But also absurdly comfortable.

 

In a straight line. Not when you had to turn or park etc.

My dad got these as loaners when he had his Continental. We all much preferred the Continental.
