    I think this is the first Toyota interior that I really love. Looks nice and cozy.

    Ain’t it. Can’t call it a Crown if you still use a manual prop rod for the hood. Desecrated that name. Those V8 RWD flagships they got overseas are rolling in their grave with these things.

    I’ll be honest not really blown away.

    Was hoping they would embrace the wagon look and give Subaru some competition (I know their not real wagons but you know what I mean that style). This just kind of feels like another fancy small suv.

    To each their own though I’m sure it’ll be a great car for people that like stuff like this.

      I dunno, I have a 2010 Outback and I think this is the best alternative if you’re looking for a similar, but hybrid version of an Outback. Subaru seems to be dragging their feet on a hybrid version that isn’t a total misfire (looking at you Crosstrek).

      Well, the Legacy is a real wagon.

      And the Crown Signia isn’t small or “fancy”. It’s just a couple inches shorter than the Highlander with the same wheelbase. The fancy version is the RX.

        The current MY Legacy is a sedan. Am I high or? Or are all of you living in 2005?

    All they have to do now is bring the gorgeous Crown sedan over… so tired of crossovers and SUVs…

      Pricing no. Car & Driver suspects 45-55K USD. So really priced as a baby RX.

      Release timeframe I thought they said mid 2024?

    I’ve been waiting for a wagon-esque hybrid that would deliver on cargo space, luxury and just right performance. I hope that this pans out for all of those use cases.

    Well maybe this could be a replacement for my Focus wagon of 22 years old? Have been looking for a replacement but nothing fits the bill. Alltrack cannot pull. Outback has no knobs and like my Focus just feels cheap and I hate CVTs. The V60 is too small and the V90 is simply too rare (there will be none on the junkyard 20 years from now). Most SUVs have obnoxiously high hoods. This looks better. And yes after more than a decade in my Focus I am looking for something that looks nice inside. This does.

    How I know I’m getting old: watching the YouTube videos and thinking, “damn. That looks nice.”

    Looks like a good replacement for my Volvo XC70 (2004). I’ll just have to keep it running for a couple more years. Like others, I don’t get the big wheels on the upper trim. Hopefully can be purchased with the 19” instead.

    Oh, FFS stop with the tiny windows! It looks silly, and makes the car difficult to see out of. The beltline needs to drop 4-6 inches.
