@1:10 Toyota is not behind in EV. They have admitted that the system is not ready for EVs, and they're correct. That's why they've purposely devoted moat of their resource to the continued development of hybrids. I agree with them
❤Dad's petulant Pettiness 😂-watching you both at this show has been really fun. It's nice to see the fun & Tommy enjoying Dad vs trying to correct you as he often does 🤔🙄. Though enjoy when the tolerance wears thin & Dad let's off.
You mean Tommy's pettiness? The guy sounds like an old man with ego bigger than the state of Texas. If you didn't know who's who you'd think that he's the older guy out of the two.
Future Toyota MR2 ( sucks it's an EV) Honda Prelude (sucks it's an EV) Mazda SP( Rotary as a generator SUCKS) Mitsubishi car( it seems that car company forgot how to design cars)
Thanks for brining the coverage! Love hearing watching you guys! Awesome you got to see Kirk and David there! The concepts are interesting but I want that Toyota EPU bad!
Before you open a door, just ask around, "Dai jou bu desuka?" Which means "Can I"? People will either say "Hai" , "Dozo" or "Dame" or "Ie". Hai=yes, Dozo=go ahead, Dame=bad, Ie=no
Im most excited about the Prelude because it was only thing that actually looked production ready. Also they confirmed it will be hybrid possibly a fwd with electric motor to help the rear (crossing fingers). Definitely could be a BRZ/FRS competitor
When Roman says, "It needs a lift" that is the most American thing one can say !! LOL I spent my life in libraries before youtube and wikipedia. I often wonder how smart I would be if I had been able to access information from home instead of sleeping in the library overnight.
Two things. I think the Kei car was already a solution for an efficient city car so the idea of buying an expensive electric car as a replacement would have never worked. China's introduction of affordable electric cars might have given them the kick needed to enter the market. Second. I've always wished that the Renegade would be Jeep's answer to the Baby Wrangler. But Stellantis dropped the ball when it compared it to the Fiat. Though I think they cared more about the European market than the US since they're cancelling it for the Fiat Panda. If the Renegade ever comes back in the future, I hope they just take the body, drop it on the Wrangler frame and call it the baby/city Wrangler.
Sorry to break your illusions, but kei cars aren'r really efficient. My mom had a Daihatsu Terios Kid, that thing could sometimes peak at like 12 MPG in winter when doing a lot of highway driving (it's not very aerodynamic). In a not very busy city it's like 25-ish in summer. Big a*s sedans can do better, some crossovers can do the same. Sure, that one was a 2002 model, new kei cars have better fuel economy, but those new kei cars are freakin hybrids.
@@ldmtag I don't think Kei cars are meant for highway driving. Which reminds me, MPGs on electric cars drop on the highway too. Are Kei cars cheaper than a sedan where you are? I'm in the US, so only import cars 25 years old or more.
@@kevilleb it depends. They are definitely cheaper than in the US, and we can legaly import new cars. Right now (just checked auto-ru) a 2019 hybrid AWD Suzuki kei car beats a 2019 AWD Prius at $17-18k vs like $22-25 with similar milage of around 20-25k miles. I would call it a bargain. But also for that Prius money you can buy a same year nice Nissan Serena van, also hybrid and AWD (cos that's the most accurate filter I set to get kei cars in the results). Slightly older and more frequently driven Outlander PHEVs also pop up, which is weird, cos a couple weeks ago they were all close to 30 grand. Back in 2010-2012 or so, when the DTK was bought, is costed probably like $6500, and I believe it was slightly more expensive or about the same as sedans of similar condition, but maybe I'm wrong. For comparison, a 2019 Corolla costs starting about the same as that kei hatchback van thingy, and up to low 20s, kinda close to that Prius. And it's not not AWD, and most of them on sale are not hybrids.
There is the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, Kia Nero EV, Hyundai Kona EV, Mini Electric, VW id4, Tesla 3 (Base spec), etc all available for an MSRP between 24-40k... 🤷🏾♂️
@@fortheloveofnoise used EVs then? I know the resale value is lower on EVs and that the leaf especially is known for battery degradation issues so you may need to research a bit...but Tesla Model 3, Chevy Bolt, etc should make for good used EV buys though not sure how cheap they have gotten yet... Like all things, here is a market place for every need but as things get cheaper they of course get less reliable...and they haven't been around long enough yet to know which is better and which are not
The epu is a fisker alaska&neuron t one ev truck ripoff. I hope toyoduh builds IT and before 2026 for 33-40k. 😀 Chances of that happening are slightly above ZERO imo. And Geely needs to bring the rd6 over here through mx if needed.
The by-wire yoke steering wheel on the Land Cruiser 250 is a prototype developed for handicapped users. As the accelerator and brake are also attached to the steering wheel, it seems likely that even able-bodied people will be able to use it if regulations are relaxed.
on the dampened truck tailgate..... lets quit dampening things and making power liftgates and sell cars and trucks at a reasonable price. Are we all that lazy? Car prices are insane.
I wish I could go to the big car show. Today I’m going to the Sacramento International Auto Show. I hope Toyota has the new Tacoma. I’ve been wanting a new midsize truck and my heart wants a ranger but my brain wants a Tacoma.
If Mazda can make that rotary engine reliable (it was pretty difficult with the RX-7 and RX-8), they might sell a good number of them...for a sportscar.
Do not feel bad. I know Japan. Even the local automotive Journalists know better than to go inside the vehicles. Please respect their different culture.
Thank you bud . yes 2011 3.6r tranny prblems banngs and shit . all goes out . ! Going to the dealer for a check . nobody knows much . about my car ! Good for 5 years .
Too bad Mazda is a notorious tease, with so .many unbelievable, pretty concept cars that go from the auto show circuit, to the Mazda museum to be forgotten. Especially when it included a Wankle engine. Rotory mean "never gonna produce it. Customers will never drive one". Mazda asks "do you like this?" "Do you want one?" "Now you know what it is to want. Enjoy your suv."
Wow I got to say all car manufacturers lately are lacking imagination, future version and real cutting edge engineering. The Chinese mini van the only thing interesting but I'm not a big fan of Chinese tech.
Why can't china name their manufacturers and models correctly? All screams crap quality. GWM (great wall motor) BYD (build your dreams) Maxus Aiways Geely Zeekr Ora etc times 50. These names doesn't sell and screams low quality. It's like they put the worst chinese - english translator from wish to come up with the names. I mean, they kind of figured it out and bought volvo/polestar and MG to try to fool us.
Wow, this was kind of difficult to watch. Roman was being a complete irritable ass. Dad or no dad, but if were Tommy I would have said, get your attitude together or we're done filming for the day.👎

Great to see you guys in Japan! Thanks for including us toward the end of the video!

i'm glad Japan is still making cars, and not just SUV's pickups and cross-overs like some car companies.
Man, would have loved to see a new generation Miata or S2000 with performance 4 cylinder motors and not overweight and soulless EV motors.
Roman completely ignoring Tommy or interrupting him was a bit cringe at times but thanks for the video nonetheless
That’s why I watch it.
Roman was too grumpy 😂😂😂 By the way Wranglers also need tires, lift, winch….. when you buy it new
And jet lagged and tired
Future Toyota MR2 ( sucks it's an EV)

Mitsubishi needs to bring the 3000GT VR4 back with 600 HP and a manual...
PRELUDE‼️ I’m so in one if they produce it‼️ I still miss my old one.
But its an EV 😞

I lived in Japan for 3 years. I bet you guys had a blast !! :)
If I was ever fortunate enough to live in Japan, I would never leave.
I love Tommy calling his father Dad on screen. Love you Tommy. ❤
This is a lot more interesting than New York Auto show. K cars alone make it great
Im most excited about the Prelude because it was only thing that actually looked production ready. Also they confirmed it will be hybrid possibly a fwd with electric motor to help the rear (crossing fingers). Definitely could be a BRZ/FRS competitor
I doubt that last point. Prelude has always been more of a luxury cruiser, not a sportscar. And I think it's bigger than those two
@@ldmtagPrelude was a sportscar.
I'm with Tommy. A stripped down chassis cab toyota sounds amazing
the suitcase scooter was the coolest for sure

You guys always impress me how well you receive and well received you are by fellow content creators. Classy
Cool to see that super villain at the end. 😂
The Afeela will be on sale by early 2026, They are building the manufacturing.plant now The Prelude is a performance hybrid .

Car manufacturers assume American consumers all make 200K a year and can afford these 60K + EV's.

I'd buy that pretty red Mazda sportswear. Now I have two cars on my Wishlist: that new red sportscar on display and a convertible Miata.
Can-am has multiple bikes on the floor now here in Edmonton Alberta all E bikes, plus a standup scooter sled!
That red Mazda looks almost exactly the same as an Alfa Romeo 8C....

It's actually not full EV, it's a hybrid.

since toyota has a share in suzuki....why dont they bring the jimny in US as toyota jimny...LOL
EVs not great idea for japan considering so many people live in apartments without easy access to a charging port at home.
With EVs, the front space (frunk) is wasted space. Passengers can be moved forward and still be well-protected.
Couldn't open the Mazda doors in my garage.
must be a low ceiling garage, could easily fit in mine...but i have no money to buy 1

Roman ! You can’t get a high quality Chinese anything! There is no such thing. Your to busy to learn it seems
The Word ELECTRIC AND MR2 =s a PS5 version. MR2 is the competition of the Miata . NO Manuel shifting car. NO THANKS .
Toyota is too late to EV games. Tesla, BYD, Lucid, Rivian, NIO, just to name a few.
