Who copied who?!
Toyota debuted Crown Sport design on Dec 14, 2021.
Ferrari debuted Purosangue Sept 13, 2022.
I think it's pure coincidence - What do you think!?
given by how long it takes to create a design and put a car into production, both of these cars probably started their design life several several years ago so this is pure coincidence :)
Ferrari leaked in February 2022
@KirkKreifels Please keep this up. Crown Sport and the whole Crown lineup should definitely come to the US. The new looks is a huge plus!
Coincidence.
I instantly thought it was a new genesis gv60 from the thumbnail. lol
As someone who is normally exclusively interested in coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, I'm much more interested in the Crown Sport than the current Crown that the USA is getting.
The crown cross the US is getting is an an absolute failure imo.
Worse than the Avalon it’s replacing. Hopefully the crown sport comes to make up for it.
You my friend are the reason why we dont get nice sedans and sports cars!
@@codyaltman29 Lol sure hope not. I didn't say I'd buy either of the Crowns. But the Sport is more interesting. You'll still have the support of my monetary vote for a sedan here in a couple years friend.
The Crown sport looks great. What a massive difference between the sport and sedan.
The new crown the one that looks like a sedan and cross isnt really good looking but the japanese crown Rs looks so good
I feel bad for Toyota for people calling it “looks like Purosangue” because Toyota revealed Crown Sport 6 months earlier than Purosangue, in fact the exterior design itself came out as early as Dec 2021.
Yes! During Akios BEV reveal.
Please don't waste your feelings. Toyota is the greatest auto manufacturer of all time and they are growing.
It looks so good, even kirk called it accidentally “Porsche Crown Sport” at 1:31
I had to rewind this part a couple of times and had to look at the comments to be sure. Haha
Imagine they made a GR Crown Sport with that interior, that would be insane
God please.
Completely agree that Toyota/ Lexus need to adopt more powerful rear motors on these more premium 2.5l hybrid vehicles… helps differentiate from the RAV4 and justify the premium you pay for it
I saw at least three new Crowns and a couple Priuses day before yesterday. The Crown has a lot of presence when you see it in person on the street, and it looks way better in person. Looks like they are popular. I think this new Crown will definitely be popular.
That’s funny.
Even though I’ve seen only one crown cross in the US so far, I’v heard lots of people say that it’s a sales flop because of how ugly it was
Hopefully it does well enough so Toyota sends over the crown sport
@@faheemabbas3965 I hope so too. I also think the Crown is a bit ugly, but it’s definitely much better than a BMW. Also, it much better seeing it in person.
US Crown reminds me of a Honda Crosstour. Dont think that experiment ended well.
@@chakaman6361 😂Kind of.
Absolutely, ASAP bring the Sport in and the Estate to follow. Don't get why the lifted sedan beat out the Sport. But what I don't understand is there seems to be the Sport as a BEV as well,. And yes, put the more powerful electric motor in the back.
+1 You said it all perfectly! The sedan/crossover has been a disappointment and a poor substitute even for the outgoing Avalon. That had a certain amount of class, if underdeveloped from what it could/should have been. I'm familiar with the historic Crown name, but if I hadn't seen that in print and spoken word on TH-cam, I (and those I've spoken to) would never have associated the two in function, form or purpose... completely apples and oranges, and the current U.S. Crown not exhibiting or exuding even a hint of luxury.
You and Kirk are spot-on about encouraging the better rear axle. This needs to be full on AWD, no pretend system.
Perhaps dating myself--old fart--I'm not into the matte at all, I think that it is a fad that will come and go, that will look tired quickly regardless ( I predict owners fairly quickly using that as a basis for wrapping)... nor does the two-tone red and black interior combo that emphasizes the black do much for me. I'm not a red person but the reverse would be okay if the right luxury red, and not too much black for the remaining, just door accents and upper dash at most. All black as depicted in the rear seat shot pretty dour looking, particularly with the otherwise sporty rear quarter panels limiting interior light. Lighter gray or saddle interiors would be great. Exterior wise, I think a conservative medium-dark green (nothing 'Oz ') or gray-blue would be great in either the Sport and/or Estate form.
Buyer demand for suv
If we aren't getting the Crown Sport here in the States, I'd very much like Toyota to make a Prius Cross that looks just like Crown Sport inside and out, seeing as they have a very similar design language. I love the new Prius, it just needs a bit more ground clearance for the bumpy driveways and winter time. Something that looks as beautiful as the Crown sport is one of the only cars I'd trade in my GR86 for
Wow, this is beautiful! I would 100% buy this if it came to Canada.
I would 100% order a Crown Estate. Looks incredible!!!! Toyota please 🙏 ❤
The Crown Estate should be the new Venza! I'm an owner of a 2009 Venza and I'm looking for a proper replacement for it and this would fit my needs!
This will sell like CRAZY!!! Toyota to version might be the 340hp. But add a GR version packing 400hp. It's On!!! Just SICK!!! Now just have the same front seats in the rear like Ferrari.. Smh, Demand will be so high it will be a 12 month wait😂🤩
The Crown sedan and Crown sport look amazing. I would seriously consider buying either one if they come to the US.
they will soon
I have never been a fan of Toyota design. They are usually either boring or awkward. However, this latest Prius has changed my mind, and it looks like the Crown Sport has taken it to a whole new level. Toyota can have my money if they bring the Sport to the US.
I would love to see the Crown lineup in Europe!
Is there a reason they don’t release the sedans in europe?
@@nanjing78654 sedan is jdm
I always thought Toyota design details were very similar to what Ferrari has been doing lately. The new Prius headlights looked just like the SF90. This is the final nail haha!
It’s more of accidentally looking alike rather than copying. Neither brand is copying the other, they just have coincidentally produced cars that look alike. Like in F1 when designers work in secret to produce completely different cars that set the same exact laptimes
It's Toyota design,the others copied it
トヨタお得のパクリです。
@@sakurabotan2005 yeah Ferrari ripped Toyota's off.
Wow. The Crown Sport has some nice curb appeal compared to the grandpa Crown.
Gettem' Kirk!! I like the fired-up side of Kirk! I'm with you a 1000%. Bring them new Crowns to the United States. Especially the Prime variants. I was hoping the Venza would bring its Harrier to the United States but if the Crown is available I would get that instead!!
I don’t think the crown we get looks bad, it just doesn’t look as good as the Crown Sport. I saw one lowered with side skirts and a front lip and it looked really good. I just feel the crown we get rides a little too high
I am also one of the few who feel the Crown looks fine, but the Crown Sport is a real beauty
Women
Yess the modelista kit make it look a bit good .. Otherwise its ugly af
@@ibrahimbashir6634 I thought the modelista kit, looked pretty good, I don't really find the crown to be ugly the way everyone thinks it is
You accidentally called it the Porsche Crown Sport at 1:31 or so. Freudian slip maybe? :)
I have a VERY bad feeling that we wont get this in the states... Manufacturers love keeping the best designs for Europe and Asia lol
Toyota crowns are available for purchase in Ontario. A dealer local to me was carrying a few
Kirk!!!!! This is the DAILY I've been waiting for!!! Man, I hope Toyota brings this to the U.S.!!!! There really is many affordable sporty UV which look enthusiast oriented! This knocks it out the park and runs the bases for you! And please offer a turbo'd petrol variant for at least a few years???! Thanks Man. ✌🏽❤✊🏽
I owned a Macan S. I own a 22' IS350 currently. If this comes to the US,, the IS 350 is OUTTA HERE. That thing looks SICK.
I wished Toyota would bring back their cool model badges. The Crown NEEDS a crown badge. Don't care if people don't know it's a Toyota. Those badges are sick
As Lexus product planner i would crunch the numbers grafting the hammer head front clip onto the LC for a mid cycle refresh. I know its already got years on it but i think it would look even better than everything else simply because you already have that super low hood to wheel ratio missing on 99% of the cars out there. You know the ability for the hood to dive deep off the wheels.
I love Toyota and drive one myself but they seldom produce stunning looking cars which I instantly get a feeling of wanting one. The last one was 1st gen Prius prime and I own it. I have been looking Lexus NX and RX but they are meh 😕 to me, BUT crown sports is a stunning looking car! I want it over any Lexus except LC.
Love that two tone interior
Love both those model's. Hopefully they do bring them to the us
I’ve live in a few different countries. The American cars we get in the states are normally bland versions of the same car they sale in Japan and Europe. It we nice to have the newer Japanese styled vehicles for once. Even the mini vans in Japan was super comfortable and more stylish then our boring vans.
I like the Venza quite a bit, but I definitely won’t mind it being canceled again in NA for this beauty!
V12 Toyota sportwagon. Be still my beating heart!
In talks with my local dealership about an incoming Prius Prime and now you got me wanting to wait!!! That’s clean!!
We need the Crown lineup in the US. I put my vote on also bringing the Crown logo to the US.
This took me back to the earlier days of this channel where Kirk would get fired about Toyota/ Lexus lacking. I love it! They can’t keep doing the same thing and expect other companies not to catch up
Kirk, hope Toyota will bring this stateside, holding off buying cars for now. This will make me jump 😂!
Id buy that. Im looking for something that gets better miles per gallon than my Land Cruiser, but want something as comfortable and room for a couple hockey bags (including a goalie bag). Id go for the Sport first, but Id take the wagon too (if the Sport doesnt come).
I hope we get all the Crowns, they're so much cooler than anything else in their bracket. I could also go for a Prius Estate...that would really get me going.
Exactly!
I’ve been driving a Mazda3 Hatch since 2015. With a family now and needing only slightly more space, the unobtainable (in the USA) Mazda6 Wagon would be great.
The Crown Sport seems to be an even better option. Please make this available in the USA.
1:55 i like the Crown crossover sedan. it reminds of certain past Toyota debut .will make a video about it on my channel.
There is a Crown here at my local Toyota here in Canada and it looks sharp but this one in matte black so very nice
It looks good. I hope there will be BEV and FCEV versions as well.
Currently driving the RX350 and I’m due for a change next year. Hopefully these are available by then. Toyota bring these cars to the US!
I’d love to see the Crown Sport here stateside. If priced right, Toyota, take my $.
Good news. I am waiting for delivery of a Hybrid from the dealer that you live near. When I pick it up for my wife, if this Crown is going to be as good as it seems, it will go to the top of my list for a 2025 if the larger power system is offered.
They are inexplicably awesome please bring these vehicles here! KDK.
Hahaha…you said Porsche Crown Sport at 1:32. It does look neat I must say.
I'd like both of those Crowns to come over. I love the looks on both of those! I'd probably get the Crown sport. I like the Crown Estate but I don't need that much room. I think that Crown Estate could EASILY replace the RX. I think it would be much better!
If TMS brings the Sport and Estate to the United States they’ll sell like hotcakes. Starting with me!
Looks nice. I would like to see the performance version if they do come out with one.
7:30 total system output might be battery limited. Note that 500h has a weaker front motor, so that gives them power headroom to have a more powerful rear motor.
Make it happen! I dont' care how lol
I know I cannot afford such a beautiful Ferrari. But this new 4-door Crown is lovely and inviting to me😘. I expect Toyota to sell to the US market. I am so loving it. Mr. Sato, bring this Crown Beauty Sports to the US...Please!🙏
looks promising. long life Lexus RX customer who gave up on it couple of years ago but I would give this car a second chance.
Hi, I would to buy a Crown Sport and my lease is up on my Venza in a late sumer. what should I do?
Yes I liked that red sport model when you first showed it. The wagon is cool too but anything like that wagon or estate name they wouldn’t import.
would buy the Crown Sports if it were available in America, as a replacement to my CT200h. But need plug in option. Id go to the dealer today if it were available.
6:34 they can’t use a higher powered motor at the back than at the front because once the battery runs out, it will serve as a major drag to the vehicle and the front motor running with the engine will take too much time to charge the batteries up to power the motor. The best thing they can do is incorporate the AWD of the GR yaris and add an electric axle at the back.
I don't buy it. They could make it happen. They are doing it with the 3.5L v6 with the large motor in the back for PHEV Lexus TX 550h+ Just sub out the v6 for i4 and you're good.
Volvo has a bigger e-axle in the back on their PHEV too. Not exactly apples to apples but I don't want to give them the easy pass here lol
@@KirkKreifels yeah, I understand that they could, but they are probably more after MPG than drive feel and performance. I’ll have a closer look at the TX though. Loving the content, big ups!!
I hate SUVs, especially soft road only SUVs. But this crown sport is absolutely gorgeous! If I really had to get a SUV, I'd definitely go for this for sure!
For sure, I think the Crown SUV looks better than our "Sedan", which I think they went with to try and replace the Venza without stepping on the toes of various Toyota SUVs we offer. I dunno. Anyway, I wasn't aware how similar those 2 SUVs appear! Thanks for the informative vids, as always!
i get some supra vibes from crown sport , the rear curve panel, the rear lights is similar to carolla sedan, the front obviously new prius and lowere grill reminds me of the C hr, the shape
just as a general info, toyota shown its concept before Ferrari
The Crown sport looks really good.
LFA downshift at the intro immediately made me feel good.
Ive been in the market for a compact SUV. Looked at many Genesis, Lexus and similar brands. The Sport is one I would 100% buy! Especially if its sub 40k
woahhh, helllo thats pretty af
if they can put a in line 6 version of the GR yaris stuff and tuned that way ,, its a steal
the only weakness/ con is the cvt tran
The Yaris GR-Four has a six speed manual transmission. What are you talking about? That car as no weakness in it's game.
I am so absolutely sold with that matte black Sport model! I hope that comes to us 😩
Toyota introduced the crown lineup before the Ferrari suv came out
Damn this one looks good. Are we getting this in North America especially the hybrid max one ?
Not even an SUV person and this looks hot....would dominate the sales charts in the U.S.
So far from what I am seeing, this is a beauty. Including the interior.
Yes I want that crown sport and wagon.
This would be a far more successful design in terms of desirability and ultimately sales versus the current Crown we're getting here in the States. Not sure I'd say it's more handsome than the NX which I think is one of the best looking CUVs out there (always been a fanboy of the spindle grille; yes, I know I'm pretty much alone on that one) but very good nonetheless. I agree it would sell like hotcakes.
I'm in the market for a new SUV and I would buy thr matte gray Crown Sport yesterday. That is a great looking vehicle.
All nice BUT the real sedan is the killer!. Sport is 2nd, crossover 3rd (called sedan in USA), estate 4th. The sedan is gorgeous.
Would love either Crown in PHEV.
Smashing the like for an Australian release! Yeah I know it will never happen tho...
This would def be my first Toyota if it comes state side
1:33 😅 this SUV looks stunning my opinion
I have seen the crown lifted sedan ,it's nice but I like it in one color
I want the Crown Estate wagon.
Coming to Eu7rope ? I want one! currently a GS450h and RX400h with 440 kms just run in.
never been hyped like this!
that matt grey color 🔥
Interesting. Its the first time I think a Toyota looks very interesting and something I would like to drive as a German.
Car looks amazing, definitely would buy it
Same goes for us here in Europe, bring those two models overhere in Holland..
The Sport will be next car if it comes here to US
Tony Kirk’s Ferrari Plus.
make lexus version of prius with option for widebody and bigger wheels? quiet(have a less quiet trim teir to reduce cost, some people dont want it) effceint momentum car with the agility to reduce power steering . maybe a turbo 3 ? maybe a short length car option?
@1:32 "porsche crown sport" lol
We have to get the Sport! Please! I'm shopping the NX....and I might wait because this might be even better!
The Ferrari similarities end with the looks. They would be crazy not to sell this in the USA.
You love the crown logo. Nothing stopping you from buying the logo's and putting them on the car after you buy it. ;)
Since this particular model looks so similar to the Ferrari Purosangue, might as well put a Ferrari logo instead of Crown! 🤣
I want one. Bring it here!
Kirk, We DEMAND the Crown Estate with the sensible 245 hp Hybrid powertrain at a sensible price! 🤩
Looks stunning. Woah Toyota
I am very interested in the Crown Sports.
How are they not bringing this to us?!?!!!
Interesting perspective.
Give it a V8 and it'd be more desirable than the Purosangue itself. They could also make it full electric. All of that Hybrid shenanigans don't make sense anymore.
