awesome find
Good video overall. Note for some folks to keep watching; this looks to have the standard 8" info screen that the mid to lower ranges will have, unless you upgrade to the premium package. ;)
If we expect 2 months, then the builder should go live in Jan as well due to build/ship times from Japan. Pencil April for the first ones to arrive to West Coast perhaps?
I ended up putting my name on a LC, it'll arrive later this month. Couldn't wait since my current car met deer recently...
I'm sure they'll be at the show, and probably like last year's show with the LC "information is pending or soon". LC launched in May when it should have launched in Nov. You get the idea here. :)
Not sure Toyota is fazed by much of this considering their demand is still high.
Could be a dealer exchange perhaps. I know that I got an email from Toyota about the 4R, they gave a link to the press release. It felt to me like the start of the hype up, but that could be wishes.
It'll have two engines.

Standard i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces 278 horsepower, 317 lb.-ft. of torque
Available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain produces up to 326 horsepower, 465...
If they want to launch early next year, I would think Nov. As this is built in Japan it takes about 30 days to get to west shores. AT least that is the experience when the LC was launched. Generally they hit the go button when they are ready to build, or allocations begin. Fingers crossed.
I think that demand has indeed caught up, that the new model or car bubble is on the other side. It looks like they sold more this launch, then they did in 2021 (3700 sold) US figures. The question will be, how many 2025s will sell considering the 4R launch...
Probably due to change over. It's not a minor change, it's likely a schedule they put together and kept to it. Be it a month delay or two, might be cheaper to keep the change over plan than stop it.
I do not know, I believe they did not open it to general public in another show. I assume you are referencing the 250+ exhibitors? I'm not seeing the 2pm tho. Could be difference in viewing.
Over on the LC forums, they’ve been going though the 2025 builder options. There’s no mention on the builder about a change of tires. Still listed 18 & 20.
Can you provide your source on this? This is interesting
