Very weird that many vehicles like the Camry and ES won't get complete redesigns but a second refresh.

What do you mean? That's the Toyota thing to do!

A third refresh for the IS seems excessive even by Toyota standards...

Not at all weird. As the competition leaves certain segments…Toyota has no need to change them as much

Excessive, sure. But still doesn't surprise me in the least.

Same. The Toyota way is built entirely on minimal incremental efforts.

K Platform underpinned everything for 20 years. I don't expect to see major major changes to TNGA stuff for a long time. Re engineer some stuff here and there, sure, but leaps and bounds don't normally go with the roadmap out of Toyota City.

I wonder if the Tacoma really gets a redesign or if they simply use the new generation model that has been available internationally for several years.

Not sure why the U.S. Tacoma available today is a few generations behind technology/design.

Seems a bit odd to have the RX redesigned in '22 and then a refresh already in '24.

It's not about the competition, it's about keeping up with crash tests and emissions regulations.

I am surprised the LX and LC will still be produced due to poor sales.

Toyota is discontinuing the Landcruiser in the U.S., not sure why they are keeping LX.

By MY24 current RC would be either canned forever or replaced completely by a new model. I doubt they will refresh the current car once more.

I think Automotive News is just taking random guesses since I doubt they have information that far ahead for all these claimed second and third refreshes. Given how far ahead these claims are, it's unlikely that even Toyota has it set in stone.
