2023 Toyota Crown Review // The Toyota They Ever Made
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2022
- The 2023 Toyota Crown Platinum ($59,990 in Canada, $52,350 in the US) is the first Crown to be sold on North American shores after a long hiatus that stretches back to the early 70’s. Powered by a hybrid AWD system called HYBRID MAX, the 2.4L turbo Platinum trim Crown is capable of an estimated 340 horsepower and 400 lb ft of torque. But don’t let the respectable power numbers fool you. The Crown aims to provide a comfortable and quiet cabin for its passengers, while also being mindful of fuel efficiency. But does it achieve this goal? And how is it to live with? Thomas and James are excited to dive into this new addition to Toyota’s lineup in North America. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!
Huge thank you to @hktaxitoronto for letting us feature his Crown!

Truly one of the Toyotas of all time.
One of the cars of all time
one of the crowns of all time
I knew this was going to be top comment before I even clicked on the video lmaooo
We couldn’t agree more.
@@ThrottleHouse please do a review on the Venza and compare it to this
The crown is whatever it needs to be at that moment
actually, it's the best of whatever is needed at that moment; be it a taxi, or a limo.
Should be called Trans Clown 😂
@@TurfSurf my day has vallied with this joke
@@TurfSurf haters gonna hate
Extinct?
You guys already have some of the most entertaining intro sequences of any car review channel, but the historical Toyota “crown” montage was one of the best you’ve done.
The more time goes on, the more we realise how much of a masterpiece this intro is.
One of the best intros so far. You guys had way too much fun with this one. Fantastic production quality, shout out to the entire TH team. This was one was a treat.
I was smiling throughout the whole thing. The guys really outdid themselves
I came for new car feels, stayed for the entertainment value😅
@@spb78art A M, i bet this Toyota Crown 2023 is a jewel crown car for sure.
@@YrkCrusher this car never seem to lose its value...
Truly one of the Toyotas of all time.
I own an 81 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon. It has automatic central locking, dual zone climate control, rear seat stereo controls, and a fridge in the parcel shelf, among many other things. It was way ahead of it's time and is classic chintzy Japanese 80's luxury at its absolute finest.
Classy Chinzt would do my head in though!
I love hearing cars called a "Saloon"
Great, the name of the car is a place to get drunk
@@daryl9799 it is a very famous trim level in crown lineup
You see them quite a bit here in Australia and even more commonly in New Zealand.
I’m a car salesman for Toyota. These reviews you guys do are super helpful to me! I can’t wait to test drive one myself. I have a feeling everything said in this video is going to be true about it. It definitely appeals to the Avalon owners (RIP Avalon).
What are your thoughts now?
As an Avalon owner, it definitely appealed to me at first glance
Let me know if you find a 2011/12 Avalon Limited with low miles and a clean record.
I would already have an Avalon if the front end was not so godawful ugly!
This Crown still looks weird, but not as ugly.
I actually really like this style of car for some reason. The big sedan/hatchback/crossover type of cars with some performance really seem like attractive options. I've always liked the Kia Stinger GT for example. I actually like the way this car looks quite a bit more, I just wish they would have given it a v6.
Interesting. The lifted sedan is my least favorite thing currently happening with cars.
@@calebneff5777 Why is that? It makes crossovers redundant and may pull more customers back toward buying sedans. This could be the beginning of the end of the SUV/Crossover craze.
@@bunsenn5064 I get your point, I just think it looks dumb. My sister in law said the other day that she's burned out on SUVs. She never uses all the cargo space, third row seating isn't as easy as a van, you can get any kind of vehicle with AWD now, and sedans would get better fuel economy.
@@calebneff5777 yeah but the height is very easy to get spoiled by.
@@5usp3c7 Ehh, I don't think so. I've been driving a compact SUV for years that is like the easiest thing ever to get in and get out of and every time I drive my wife's Corolla I'm so happy to sit low again.
Toyota Crown is huge in Jamaica 🇯🇲, it’s essentially a BMW 5 series here lol
And the Nissan Fuga
Nowhere close... Just a big car but not really as prestigious as the germans.
@@AI-qd4vb if not more. In Afria and south asia people like it more than germans
"Essentially" 😂
@@AI-qd4vb Yes it's true that Germans are much refined but in Asia it's so popular and considered over an E class or a 5 series because its a Toyota with luxury and will last forever
Karsten's virdography was exceptionally good in this episode. Most frames would make wonderful still images
Kiiiwoqp
Yeah, I gave more attention to the footage than the narration lol
Since last 25yrs The toyota crown has been the gorgeous jdm sedan with amazing styling and aesthetic
This new one is utter rubbish nd most of us who luvs the crown are disappointed 😔
Virdography
@@Samson44444 When one is drunk and mashes the keyboard in front of a 4k TV...Also, is his name spelled "Carsten"?
When I was stationed in Japan I bought a J-spec 1990 Crown Royal Saloon. The rear seats were electric and would recline much like an airplane's business class seat does. It had a feature where all the vents would oscillate left to right automatically. For being a 1990, it had and still has more features than most luxury 2020+ cars do. It's sad that our Toyotas here in America are nothing like the Toyotas you find in Japan or the Hyundais in South Korea. BTW my Japanese neighbor told me that those features weere standard in Japan. I told him we had to pay extra for electric seats in the US and he laughed and asked if our cars came standard with the steering wheel.
I saw someone with a crown just randomly in my neighborhood and it struck me on just how nice it looks in person
Toyota also had a Cressida back in the day. The '79 in particular looks great! Btw, Cressida means "a Trojan woman of medieval legend who pledges herself to Troilus but while a captive of the Greeks gives herself to Diomedes", so there.
What sort of crack were the Japanese smoking and is it still available for consumption?
We have the 1990's Cressida in Australia and they were super popular, with a 3.0L twin cam 6 cylinder engine.
They were sought after because they drove really nice and smooth like a Lexus.
It was basically a slightly reworked crown
@@Ali-M2 that makes sense since the Crown was the high-end Toyota in my country and the Cressida was a step down so to speak. We only got the '79 model and to my eyes at least, that body style was really different compared to other Toyotas at the time, with the round outer and square inner headlights. Even now that design still looks great to me.
My Mom had a Cressida....amazing ride and quality
My grampa used to drive a 1990 Crown royal saloon 3-litre supercharged. It was a squishy ride but incredibly fast on Tōge in Izu. It was made for the streets in Japan and those who are over 55 and play golf every three days or so. Grampa’s friends drove Cima and Diamante, my parents drove E-class. Crown was the best car among others because I didn't get car sick from Crown. That tells you the best ride.
you sure dont know euro car outside japan toyota is just .....
@@calindor19 no sure what the means, my parents drove Mercedes E-class and S class from 1985 through out late 90s. I simply hated because I got carsick. I think those who know that time Mercedes, they had “the interior smell” that I could smell from my uncles Eclass wagon or my friends parents Mercedes, bothers me a lot too.
@@yuhitoadachi the leather smell inside bmws used to make me a little nauseous as a kid I totally get what you're saying
@@calindor19 I know euro cars I have owned them, they are certainly not as reliable. Infact a Merc that I owned was the most unreliable car that I have ever owned and the mileage was not very high. I would not recommend owning a euro car that is out of warranty !!!
@@TheAllEngineering the reason why you think European cars are “unreliable” is because you couldn’t afford the routine maintenance so you “serviced” your car at some backyard mechanic. you mentioned that you owned a benz? Maybe if you religiously maintained it,it wouldn’t be problematic.i love Japanese cars but Jdm fanboys are the most annoying car owners in the world where they think that anything without a Toyota badge let alone a Japanese badge is “unreliable”,they think that made in Japan is always top notch and get offended if someone said something negative about a Japanese car.i love Japanese cars I even own a Japanese car specifically Toyota products but to say European cars are “unreliable” because some TH-camr says is just plain wrong,plus not all Japanese automakers are good infact theyre a decent amount of mediocre Japanese automakers most notably the worst automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi,lets not forget about Subarus and there head gaskets blowing and their trash cvt transmissions
The attention to detail, amazing production, and quality is always 🔥🔥🔥… you’ve guys have definitely earned your 👑
You guys are THE BEST - you deserve a Crown or a Corona..
Gotta say...I don't hate the 2-tone paint, it sets it apart from everything else on the road and gives it some personality.
A pretty good looking Toyota.
I like it, but it sort of sends the wrong signal for me - like it is telling me it's a sports sedan.
I agree, I think we need more two tone cars again and more interesting colours. There used to be so many green, brown, pink and purple cars back in the 1950s-1990s and then that all just sort of stopped. Except for a few muscle cars and sports sedans. I miss when normal cars weren't just black, white, silver and occasionally blue or red if it's trying to look "sporty".
@@jazzjokesjalopies I'm shocked people think this looks good. It's so fat and boaty it looks like a jelly bean with an Asian caricature scribbled on the front. This car and the Mercedes EQS are an affront to the eyes
@@natebarry5553 I think we need to save “shocked” for more extreme events. For example, I’d be shocked if aliens arrived wearing pro-bowler shirts. I’d be shocked if gravity failed. If pizza was suddenly slumming. I don’t see people disagreeing about subjective matters such as the appeal of Toyota design as shocking.
This is one of the most in depth, involved intro skits you gentlemen have ever done. I love it.
See the crown was clearly meant to be the car of a generation. From your Dad's car in childhood through every milestone in life, you're in a crown. Like a friend who's always there to get the job done.
Ya’ll are so good! So many laugh out loud moments just within the first 5 min! And the production quality is tops!
Jajajajaja thanks for those 4 minutes of history/comedy! Nailed it! One of your best intros!
Agree
Here in Japan, the crown is a very popular car. I would say it is the most popular sedan in Japan
From listening to this video a crown is every Toyota in Japan.
And the Crown is really popular here in Far East of Russia especially in Vladivostok.
Also popular in Suriname, South America. The recent models (JDM) look and perform really good. Especially the Athlete model
Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here.
Avalon Touring with AC seats and Heads up display from BMW not this ugly Tesla egg piece of shit
I really wish they brought over the Crown sedan to the US. I very much enjoy my series 220 crown athlete sedan and it would have been amazing to get a crown as well when I am in the US again
KUDOS! To you and the production team, fkn epic episode shame most people won't appreciate all the effort.
I am amazed that you guys dug out the history of crown taxi in Hong Kong. When l was young, they only used two brands for taxi in Hong Kong: Toyota crown and Mercedes Benz diesel. Good job.
When I was there in 1983 they also used the Nissan Crew. The taxis in Hong Kong were red and green. The green ones went to the New Territories. Seems like they were all diesels. Now, it is illegal to operate a diesel taxi in Hong Kong.
Seems like the M-B diesel I rode in was a hotel car. Great video!
Crowns also dominated the Singapore taxi fleets, until the Korean manufacturers took over
I heard that they already sold a Toyotillion of them. Really one of the cars of all time.
@mayte It really brought to my eyes, the toyotaness of that scene. Truly one of the scenes of all time.
@@maxxedredlineproductions this car apparently looked like a downgraded Lexus RCF.
The morbius memes come when I least expect them, A+ stuff guys.
I love how simply and entertainingly explained. I am not a car person but I need to learn a lot
I have a 2008 GRS204 Crown Modellista +M Supercharger - a factory equipped supercharger model. It is my second Crown because these are just such amazing cars and I think I will always have a Crown in my garage. You get insane luxury, amazing performance and comfort, and so many versions to choose from. The new Crown may not be as exciting but I'm happy they didn't discontinue it
This has to be one of the funniest episodes you guys have done, that's the difference between you and other car youtubers you're actually entertaining while giving us solid information
For the last 20 years or so to us in Asia, the Crown meant the largest rear drive and top of the range Toyota you can get. A lot of that time would share the platform with the Lexus LS sedans. Or in Hong Kong or Singapore, a diesel taxi which I think is still being sold today. This most recent one however is strange to us as the styling completely breaks with the past 20 years. Not sure what to make of it. May as well purchase a Lexus since at least is more consistent in its styling. Love the great intro. Keep up the great vids.
Man RWD? Imagine if this Crown was that. I think it would have won over more
That would’ve been great if it was RWD with AWD as an option.
@@air-headedaviator1805 The Lexus GS 350 RWD and AWD was essentially the Crown with different styling and a little more luxury. It was the BMW 5 Series/Benz E Class/Audi A6 competitor. I have a 2013 with the 3.5L V6 with 306 hp. I LOVE it. Smooth and luxurious but with plenty of power. If you are in North America you can get them used for a great price.
@@atmartens The Lexus GS 350 is essentially the Crown. It came in both RWD and AWD
Very well said. This is not a crown. It's a toad looking freak. Can't believe Toyota would do this. Unless it's trying to kill the crown. If it ain't long, sleek, commanding in its stature rear wheel drive with a 4l V8 forget about it.
Here in the Philippines, these were the absolute pinnacle of Japanese automotive luxury for us in the 80s and 90s. Brilliant cars.
Oh the intro. Y'all are doing a good job. And these intros u put time and effort into, they work
To truly give it the crown touch, the front emblem shouldve been the crown like the ones from Japan have
Especially the crown rs and athletic 350
Cars in our country come from Japan thus we also get the ones with the crown emblen
In Yakutsk, Russia we have 80% of the cars imported from Japan, we are used to the Crown and many other models unfortunately you cannot find in North America. Thanks for your nice videos!
I love the way you present this video. Love watching all your car review videos.... 👍
Just found the channel. Friends purchased a
1971 Toyota Crown Custom Station Wagon that I got to drive. Transmission needed another gear but the ride was fantastic.
Sport S Plus only really works if you put the shifter into manual mode (that’s that M on the center console with the plus and minus logos) and you use the paddle shifters to go up and down a gear and it will actually lock the gear until you up or downshift.
For what it's worth, Toyota in interviews with several automotive journalists have mentioned that the new Crown is partly aimed for those who don't want to give up the ease of access into/out of an SUV, but also don't want to be either too high up (SUV) or too low down (traditional sedan/hatchback). Basically, targeting the new family and the elderly. The Crown's higher height makes it much easier to get into/out of, while also riding a bit higher than other sedans/hatchbacks, but not as high up as the RAV4, 4Runner, Sequoia, or Land Cruiser.
Straight from one of the journalism sites: "According to chief engineer Sarada, the main reason for raising the Crown’s ride height was to simplify ingress and egress-getting in and out of the car. He and Toyota recognized that the Crown’s target audience in Japan is a bit older and therefore wanted to make it so they neither have to drop down into it like in a typical sedan nor climb up into it like in a crossover. So they settled on an unusual but surprisingly comfortable ride height."
Some early reviews also mentioned that it'd be easy to work in a child's safety seat and restraint system given that one's not partially climbing into the cabin (SUV) or wiggling their way in (sedan), making it potentially ideal for new families who'd later upgrade to a proper SUV when the kids are older and its time to take them out to extracurricular activities.
Bad knees and back this just might work.
Weird way of saying crossover
*Toyota Crosstour
@@suntzu1409 or Venza.
So basically a minivan with 5 seats instead of 7
Loved the video. Start is very informative and entertaining. And yes, my dads car was CROWN:)
I own a GRS184 2006 Crown Athlete, super happy with the car, I love it to bits. Great video!
Truly one of the Crowns ever made
why i can't see review about toyota crown sport, sedan and estate 2022 in TH-cam than this car??
It feels weird but different at the same time seeing Thomas and James doing rolling shots at the same time on the main channel.. This video deserves a crown 👑
The conversational transitions to the exterior looks section and then the interior section were really nice
Thanks for the informative/entertaining research!
I think for Toyota, the Crown represented a dilemma. For the longest time it was seen as the "I made it" JDM luxury car for normal folk (the Century of course, being for royalty and chauffeur driven patriarchs of big industry). Up against increasing competition from luxury brands mainly from Germany, Toyota saw the need for its own luxury brand and launched Lexus as we all know. But within the JDM, this was akin to pulling the rug from under the Crown. Not surprisingly, the Crown's position as a luxury car was gradually eroded away and unlike the Land Cruiser which went back to its roots, the Crown had no where to go. To top it off, sedans were a dying breed. So to this observer, the 2023 Crown represents Toyota management's last ditch effort to save the storied brand.
On camera, at least, that interior looks gorgeous.
It's got that sense of elegant, understated but still very noticeable luxury to it - it's got class.
Those metal inlays are gorgeous and I certainly hope they keep them _just_ like that.
It's incredible inside!
The first 4 mins alone made it worth a watch👌
I thought the first 4 minutes were the most painful TH bit ever. Don't get me wrong I love these guys.
@@chrls705 your comment has a same vibe as this toyota crown on me… if you know what I mean😂
This is one of my favorite TH intros! I’ve watched it 3-4 times now. 😅
Here in Jamaica🇯🇲 the Toyota Crown and Toyota Mark x are very famous. Even been tuned and adding turbos for more power
The production on this video was incredible. Thank you so much for the work you do!
One of the most informative openings I’ve ever seen. Great job!
I actually like the looks for the side, the front isn't bad either! Not sure about the two tone paint, would love to see it in person! Thanks guys!
I love the editing on this video!
The Toyota crowns in my country have upto 350 hp from 2.5l v6 engine and somewhat comfortable..i like them a lot plus they have crowns everywhere from the floormats to the hood
Great vid as always, love the fact that you measured 0-60 on camera. Would love to see your results, as well as quarter mile, on all vehicles you test.
The Crown is a legend in Australia and Japan , My family had 3 of them . Would of like to of seen a crown badge on the bonnet and steering wheel , like the 60s and 70s legends, to let owners know you are driving something special from Japan.
😂😂😂 best intro to a video I've seen yet!!!! Also that station wagon is super clean!!!
To us car enthusiast the name Toyota Crown is like that family member, friend that gives you nostalgic memories, realability of always being there, tells you a good funny wholesome story and a warm hug, although i never own one but other Toyotas like ae86s, GT86, Soarers i always Respected the Crown from Humble taxis in asia, Yakuza Majestas we saw by Rappongi Hills to Vip prime minister Crowns. Its the mystic that gets me.
Thank you, Dear Crown.
ah the Majesta with the chicken badge and crazy limousine back seats.
I've never clicked on a video so quickly. Finally glad to see you guys uncover the illustrious history of the Crown name. It's always been something of an all-rounder, in the same way the Panther trio has been for America and Canada, and the Ford Falcon is for Aus and NZ.
Fun fact: the Hong Kong taxi replica at the beginning was at the first-ever Throttle House car meet. Though it'a not the LWB version, it's still a painstakingly accurate recreation, complete with bead covers on the front seat and a glass bottle of Vitasoy. The car is something of a cultural touchstone for homesick HKers. It's been featured in numerous news articles, and was also a prop in Pacific Rim.
Fun review. Well done guys. Thanks
The black and white color on that platinum edition is nice, I may consider buying one in a few years fr
OMG THIS INTRO IS ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! y'all actually found the HK taxi that a hker "built" in Canada!!! That was soo cool!!! The research and introduction is so good as always!! What a great, unique car review!! Love it!!
I drive a 2006 Lexus LS. From your description it seems that Toyota has chosen to emphasise the things I love about the LS in the Crown. Comfortable seats, quiet cabin and a plush ride. There are a whole bunch of us who are not interested in a sedan that's a sports car. I hope this car does well.
Isn't it just the Avalon replacement?
@@danihan1321 Pricing makes sense. Still way less than an LS sedan.
Lexus LS is essentially the American version of the Toyota Crown Athlete.
Is this better than the ES?
I had an LS 430 Ultra Luxury and loved it. If this is anything close for a fraction of the price, I am in.
...then you don't get the TWO-TONE PAINT....but, do you want that! Both of you delivered oscar worthy performances with these two lines.
What the current generation now doesn't know is the crown is the top luxury brand in Toyota before lexus were born. People in the 80s & 90s who got a crown are top rich families. Now crown started to target mid luxury, I like it😍
Very well done with the video. As far as the car goes, I like it. Also, I had no idea Toyota "crowned" so many of their vehicles. Actually, just sitting back and realizing Toyota makes so many different types of vehicles and all with consistent quality is just mind-blowing. Wow! Keep up the great work. This, with its 2-tone paint, might be the perfect Crown to adorn my garage :)
One of their goals is to offer pretty much every option out there to people
The Crown taxi they used was a Crown Comfort. It was quite roomy inside and used a solid rear axle.
Those are quite good
Comfortable luxury taxi tbh
it was a gas engine and made maybe 90hp, but on a rainy day and a roundabout you can have fun with it
I had a Toyota Crown when I lived in Tokyo, and I hope I truly hope it is as comfortable and reliable as my old one
as someone with a lowered car in toronto, I sometimes question my decision, but then I hit a rare smooth corner and I remember why
Brilliant show! I lived in Japan for a few years in the early 90s and always assumed the Crown was either a taxi or, at times, a luxurious 4-door saloon car. I’d no idea there were this many iterations!
Having a rough week. You guys always make it better. Thank you
Did you guys try tuning the bass lvls in the car? My Corolla felt the same till I messed with the audio settings.
This is the best Toyota I've ever seen it's really breath taking and looks so amazing 😍🤩
The entire beginning of this video had me cracking up. So good you guys, thanks for the amazing content!
I had no idea that Camry and Corolla means crown in other languages 🤯🤯🤯
Also...Corona..
this is exaclty the type of car i would ever own, big wheels sleek and sporty
Toyota was truly ahead of it's time. No matter how old you are or what life you're living. The crown will be the right choice for you!
I love the history intro on this. Great narration and editing boys. Best part of this episode and this car.
Really enjoyed the history lesson and opening bit guys! Keep up the great work :)
The intro is hilarious I love it, subscribed!
This car used to look better than any Lexus luxury car with the Crown name in Japan. As soon as it came to the U.S, they made it look like a sub Toyota Camry.
You guys are the car review channel ever
Wow. Gosh. Thanks.
@@ThrottleHouse please do a review on the Venza and compare it to this
@@ThrottleHouse u guys the best out of all TH-cam car review channels
You guys are right Crown badge "it really feels expensive" that is well refined and engineered car.
This is likeee really detailed... Awesome!
You two deserve a crown for that opening! 4 1/2 minutes of TH-cam educational TH-cam perfection
Great video, got a 2000 Crown wagon and its a great car. Drifts in the winter and cruises comfortably in the summer. They need to bring the wagon over!
There is one very famous catch-phrase that every Japanese people knows. That is "Itsuka Wa Crown." That means "One day I will definitely own Crown." So Toyota Crown is a kind of symbol, a goal for a successful man. In fact in these 60 years Crown became quite affordable, but Crown is still the ICON for all Japanese hard-working man. Cheers!
Omg, i didn't know the history of crown and the intro was hillarious. well done
If this had a hatch at the back, while being in a sedan body, and slightly raised... Man, that would've been the perfect car in terms of practicality...
Gentlemen, At 9:07 you include a photo of the entire Crown lineup which made its debut this summer at Toyota Global HQ. We see an elegant sedan in grey, a good looking CUV in ruby red and my favourite, a gleaming gold Estate. There are also Japanese rumours of a very handsome Crown coupe in the works. Somehow, we were sent CrossTour Volume ii. There are so many positive attributes to this new Crown but they have to send us the BEST ones to have any chance to succeed in our market. One last thing, there is absolutely no point in increasing seat height to a more accommodating level if you are going to reduce headroom at the same time!! That's right, this premium Toyota Clown® actually has less headroom than a Camry. 🤨
What a joke on the head room lol. A Crown Coup would be awesome. Pedestrian coupes are among my favorite 👀
@@air-headedaviator1805 Japan's Best Car magazine did a story about the coupe a couple of months ago.
Blame your neighbours for buying so many suvs over the past couple decades.
@@MachineCreature As Canadians, we are too often forced into CUVs and SUVs because automakers won't offer us wagons anymore.
@@rightlanehog3151 I think that gold thing is the most suv of the bunch. If you’re ever wondering about a vehicle’s intentions just look at the amount of plastic cladding along the sides and wheel arches.
2:19 I love the layouts and overall design of Japanese lookbooks. Like the Century, you gentlemen did very thorough research. Love it!
The base cloth seats were comfier than any Lexus I sat in on a long day of car shopping with my mother. I was actually kind of smitten with the base, awd package
Come test out that suspension in Charleston west Virginia!!
For $60,000 there’s definitely some missing features
Needs a Lexus badge at that price
It’s missing a proper pano roof and a heads up display
@@naveenthemachine only? Or some other things too
Well not a complete deal breaker, and it is a toyota, not going to breakdown for a good time
@@majidali-iw4if it’s missing 4 way lumbar for driver and passenger, sequential turn signals, power tilt telescope wheel with memory
Those things you can get on the Avalon
@@majidali-iw4if well it could have an engine that kills itself after 1000 miles since it’s a new car.
This really is THE Toyota ever made. Incred
I suspect this is the low end Crown, looking it up it's a transverse layout. The last gen Crown was built on the GA-L platform which is the same as Lexus LS. So kind of confused going from the LS to a Camry...
The crowniest crown to ever crown.
14:53 he says that while I'm literally relaxing after a hard day with some warm tea and biscuits
the 1990 crown was very popular in the middle east and many still running in their original engines and wheels .
Absolutely awesome intro! Thanks for the history lesson! Love it!
You forgot to mention a few of the coolest Crowns! In the 90's/early2000's there were some models that came with the 1JZ-GTE engine.
That was the hearse he referred to haha
@@michaelstewart9308 Yeah, I know, I'm just sad they didn't mention it.
@@michaelstewart9308 they gave a hearse a 1jz?
Time to get that thing to 1000hp
We still have 91 crown with 1jz and its great car still runs perfectly
This car, especially the Platinum, ticks a lot of my wish list boxes. Just wish the interior was a bit more exciting and it came in a wagon form in Canada
