    14:1 compression and 0W-8 oil, imagine going back in time and dazzling a 1953 auto trades class with the technical highlights of this Toyota. It would be mind bending.

    Saw it in Japan in April, it's a great looking sedan. Love your car reviews, Sarah - nobody else is gonna lift it up, go over in depth and measure the sway-bar like you! You have all the know-how of someone who rebuilds cars and make it fun, keep up the great content, thanks!

    I am old enough to remember the "glory" days of the Crown in Australia & the reasons why they were well received. In spite of all the tech on this version I suspect there are some older Toyota engineers who must love how close this is to the original models & how the market segment has not changed!

    Suggestion: When you give it the beans (from a dead stop) mention when the vehicle reaches 60mph so us viewers (ie peeps) can time it. Or perhaps you could put this 0-60 time in the video.. Just a thought, keep up the amazing work Sarah!

      The previous generation Crown in Japan had multiple variations:

      2. Crown Athlete (V6)
      3. Crown Hybrid (V6)
      4. Crown Majesta (V8)

    Stationed in Okinawa and mainland Japan, the Crown (family of cars) was an everyday sighting. Cop cars, taxis, even US Government sedans were usually Crowns, and the newer body styles popular for VIP customs, or 'Bippo". I was really concerned about this new one, having only ever seen the strange looking 2-Tone until now, but this Monochromatic version is not bad!

      New toyotas and "luxury" is opposite! Suspension is sheet - especially compare to germans or volvo.

Noise isolation is average, no acoustic glass etc. Worse than mazda, and much worse than bmw, volvo, audi, mersedes.

    Hey Sarah, definitely an interesting car and great review as always I never knew the crown was available in the US. I knew they had a top-of-the-line car back in the 80s called the Cressida. Don’t know if that was another name for the crown or it’s just another model. hoping you’ll get the manual supra soon I’m sure you are too. Hopefully one will come your way. Have a great one.🐧🐧🐧👍

      The Cressida was (slightly) smaller than the Crown, but it did replace the Crown in the US.
      At the time, the Crown was actually a body-on-frame car, the Cressida was a unibody

    Leave it to Toyota to give Sarah an eco driving game. If it was Dodge it would be a 1/4 mile game with a Christmas tree in the dash to test your reaction time.

    I would have given that Toyota voice the Star Trek command "This is Sarah - initiate destruct sequence 1 code 1 1A." and waited to see what happens.
