love it so far and looking forward to seeing the inside updates.

The grill is much toned down and better integrated.

Considering how little we actually know, I'll say "yes" to being interested in learning more. We'll see how much they give us on Thursday.

Looks much more squared off than most of the renderings out there.

Im interested to see what the more basic model looks like. The skidplate in the front tells me they are showing a higher trim with the off-road crowd in mind. Like the Trail master or TRD equivalent what makes up all the Tacoma and 4Runner advert pics.

Looks like the hourglass grill is still there if you take the skidplate shape into account.

Yes spindle grill has evolved into spindle body. Design language is evident on the RX and RZ.

Love what has been shown so far.

If it's boxy like a G wagon (at 1/2-1/3 price), with Toyota QDR and a mpg above 20 mpg (which is surely will with a hybrid drivetrain) it'll sell like hot cakes and I might need to eat some hot cake next fall with a 2025 model. I never buy the first model year of any vehicle.

Love the body lines and lack of a stupid large spindle grille. Hating the V6 TT power plant.

The biggest thing i worry about with these more complicated motors (Hybrid / TT etc..) is the complexity that could diminish historically excellent reliability.

The teaser images though look like the design will be quite nice though.

I'm not worried about any Toyota hybrid or EV system. They've been doing it for so long and they are very meticulous about their design so I have no reservations. The TT V6 has already had issues and the nature of turbo systems itself is a future problem and reliability hit. You just cannot have that much heat under the bonnet (hood) without there being consequences to plastics. Ask BMW and Audi about that. LOL

I'm not a fan of the styling from what I've seen but I just don't care for boxy vehicles in general.

If I have to do a turbo it would be the B58 found in the newer cars and in the Supra. Single turbo, no cooling issues thus far. The TTV6 in the newer Toyota/Lexus products is an engine out affair when turbos need replacement, etc. Not good.

I’d chose a Toyota turbo over a BMW engine. Former BMW owner, I’d be more worried about timing chains in the B58 or any BMW engine. That is an engine out procedure also (chains are in the back) and they have a horrible track record of failed guides and chains. A turbo failure won’t grenade an entire engine either.
