      Spaciousness is what Toyota will give to the world with the first ever 2024 Grand Highlander and 44 other vehicles including the Crown Family.

    Toyota is promising the public the ultimate road tripper in their all-new Grand Highlander, three-row SUV.

    The 2024 Grand Highlander will be the most sophisticated and spacious Grand Highlander leading the 44-vehicle lineup, largest ever shown at an auto show. Chicago will be the start of a massive blitz of ICE and Hybrid new and updated autos. The car show will have from production vehicles to NASCAR and SEMA specialty autos such as the Trailhunter Concept Vehicle and SEMA specialty products.

    A trio of all-new production autos starts with the 2023 Prius, 2023 GR Corolla and 2023 Crown. The Prius is the most fuel-efficient Prius ever with an estimated 57 MPG combined. The first-ever GR Corolla is the newest member of the Toyota GAZOO Racing car family. The GR Corolla embraced lightweight racing cars with a race proven G16E-GTS Turbocharged, three-cylinder engine pumping out 300 horsepower. GR Corolla will come in three performance levels: Core, Circuit Edition and Limited, track-focused, MORIZO edition.

    Engineered to standout at the most luxurious sedan of the Toyota family is the 2023 Toyota Crown, available in three trim levels of XLE, Limited, and Platinum, two-hybrid powertrains and standard AWD on all. The Crown will have their base Hybrid powertrain on the XLE and Limited. Hybrid MAX will be on the Platinum.

    Toyota will have a Sports Festival during the Auto Show next to the Toyota auto booth. To quote their press release:

     the automaker will also host a fully interactive Toyota Sports Festival during the auto show, with versatile events and combine-style activities for participants to show off their skills. The Toyota Sports Festival concept was born from Toyota’s mission to create meaningful experiences that energize consumers in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, elevate Paralympians and support athletes at every level. With a variety of Olympic and Paralympic offerings, this booth activation will feature a sport court for wheelchair basketball, a skate park for skateboarding, a 40-yard dash area and photos opportunities around USA Swimming and USA Speedskating.

    Toyota has also next to these spaces created an electrified Drive for All Seasons ride and drive course. This four-seasoned themed demonstration area will provide passenger-only access to Toyota's hybrid vehicles covering Prius, RAV4, Sienna, Sequoia and Tundra.

    The big start for Toyota at the February Chicago Auto Show is the introduction of the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Check out the show @ McCormick Place, 2301 S. King Drive. Full information can be found here: https://www.chicagoautoshow.com/

    The Crown still looks weird to me, not sure who that appeals to because it isn’t classy or elegant like a Century, it is just weird shape with different color panels.

    Sadly there is probably a market for a Grand Highlander even though they already have a Highlander, Sienna and Sequoia as 3-row vehicles because you can never have enough SUVs.

    • All black to me is a lack of style and design.  It shows no creativity or imagination, it is just lazy to make everything 1 color.  Also I am tired of this gloss black trim trend on the outside and inside of cars, "paint black" fingerprint magnet center consoles. They don't really sell many of these G90s, did they need to make an extended version?  Do they even sell in China where they are buying EV's and buying local more and more?
    • I understand @Drew Dowdell 's concern regarding politics in this forum. But, what gets me, is that too many Americans are afraid to engage in 'politics'. Its like some sort of taboo.  Rule #1:  Do not talk about Fight Club politics Rule #2:  DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB  POLITICS What is politics anyway? politics: derived from an ancient  GREEK word politika which means "affairs of the cities".   Polis is city in GREEK. Politikos in ancient and in modern Greek means of or relating to citizens which in turn there is another GREEK word politis which is citizen. Politics in English refers to the governance of an area.  And "governance" includes all kinds of stuff and ideas. And those stuff and ideas are governed by and to the people of that area. Much like that original Greek word and idea where the English word and idea comes from.   Politics is not taboo. Politics has been made taboo by those above us governing us to control us by simply telling us not to engage in politics.  To not share ideas.  To not talk about politics. I was asked to answer a question about caring. Caring about politics and about caring regarding our political landscape of our lands of where we reside and call home/home country. We also use an example to not talk about politics in these forums as an escape from the real world.  Because politcs are real tough. Yeah well...Ive defined politics in another thread in these here forums to which I just copy/pasted again. I also said in that thread in these here forums that we simply cannot escape politics.  We cannot.  And we have to care about politics.  Because caring about politics is caring for your community, for your well being for yourself in your community and for your fellow neighbours.  And as a WHOLE to progress and evolve and not devolve. Too many entities in the U.S. right now only want to MUZZLE information regarding politics and are only interested in spreading mis and dis information for not the greater good of the majority of the people but for benefit of a very select few. Simply stated: I simply REFUSE to be muzzled to talk about politics. I will continue to post articles that refute mis and dis information. Since the last time I posted in here, the current President of the United (HA!) States of America has gone  tariff wild. On and off and on and off only to put on more tariffs on foreign cars including those from Canada only to retreat that statement from cars coming from Canada that have at least a 50% American content in them and so forth and so forth. The problem lies that automotive treaties have been signed by Canada and the US regarding 60 years ago. This current deall at least.  The excuse being that President in charge wants to build the American automotive industry again. *SIGH* Mis and dis information Trump also has imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium.  *SIGH* GM and Ford of AMERICA uses Canadian steel and aluminium because the US simply cannot produce enough. *SIGH* All those factories that NEED to be built, where will Ford and GM get their steel and aluminum from? Canada? Russia? Trump keeps on saying that the US does not need Canada. But Canada needs to be American state #51   There is so much bullshyte from Trump  just from this single scenario that if Americans do NOT talk about politics, Trump and the powers that enable Trump will be duping Americans for a loooooonnnng time.  This rant ends. But Ill be back for mor political informing as it is MY duty to keep you informed.   
    • Yes. I don't mind the black on black w/ my CT6 because I have plenty of shiny bits inside and out and some other color inside w/ the wood trim.  I couldn't stand everything black. 
    • Agreed. If I was a bond villain, I'd go with the all-black. But I prefer brown or other colors.
