With all due respect, I just don't get what people see in these matte/flat-color paint jobs. First, it makes the car look like it has sat out in the sun for the last 20 years LOL. Second, those finishes can be very difficult to wash and use preservatives.....you cannot, for example, use automated car washes. Third, they are difficult for body shops if the vehicle needs repair or repainting.
Even with a normal glossy paintjob I never take my car through an automated car wash. Those things are rough.

For parallel parking I assume?

It’s not just the engine, it’s the other issues others are reporting. With that being said I literally just saw a commercial advertising 1.9% for 48 months on new Tundra. I know the 2nd gens used to have 0% for 60 or 72 month specials a lot. If they bring back 0% for 60-72 months for the new tundra, then things get interesting.

I am absolutely dreading ever working on one of these, that is so much wasted space with easily broken plastics between the engine and the front of the car.....plus the fact I am certain the packaging is peak Toyota aka just shove it in there.

The full RR interior is incredible. Great materials everywhere....great build quality. The RR Sport is also good, but not as good.
That is beautiful! I love the matte look. It's probably Steve's lol. The 580 just wasn't cutting it.
I'm in NJ, we have both cars. My MIL is having colon cancer surgery this morning (very early, she will be fine) and the kids are with my wife's sister and her family about an hour away. I let my Brother in law drive the S580 yesterday, he's never driven anything remotely like it, they're just not car people...he was blown away lol
