I saw a flyer ad from Toyota on this car. The specs for what you pay for it's quite reasonable and affordable. AWD V6 for $30,000. But, since this is a new model, not too sure how well it will fare.

Ya ya small vollume don't make money blah blah I'd rather lose money on one awesome car out of all of the others in the lineup than have an entire lineup of appliances with wheels and be ashamed of my own company.

It's a very nice vehicle. Probably one of the most stylish vehicles Toyota offers right now. The interior is Lexus-like as well.

Add on top the crappy economy, don't expect anything exciting anytime soon. I'll be happy if that subaru/toyota concept actually goes into production!

rx330 has been discontinued for a few years... it's currently the rx350, and it's cheaper toyota cousin would be the highlander.

If I understood your post correctly, you think that we will not get it here?
If that's the case, we do have it. It's the first Toyota to be 100% designed and manufactured in N. America. My dad works for a car carrier company that does Toyotas. He was driving them before I even heard of it. He really likes them. Big, but overall he says that he'd buy one if he needed a vehicle like it.

And to the person who said that Toyota can't make 'exciting' cars anymore....that's all relative to the buyer. Plus, Toyota seems to be doing something right with their cars as they had the highest number of cars sold in 2008, knocking GM off the top for the first time in 77years. Plus, if they came out with a new sports car, would you buy it? Or just be another person like me wishing that you could buy it?
