Toyota to bring more TRD models to it's lineup.

[CSMDuty11]

I have to say, though, the way the TRD Camry looks really reminds me of the Ford Falcon XR8.

Not everyone will afford it once it comes...

How much was the MKIV when it came out?

 

[Keef]

The equivalent of about $70,000 in today's money.

The new Camry has more angles than my old '83 Corona S.

I see why.

Toyota shows TRD models at SEMA.
They have sportier suspensions, larger wheel & tires and free-flowing exhausts but no powertrain upgrades.

 

[Downhill Dino]

The Avalon looks fantastic... now if only we could just stop with the whale fronts.

 

[Obelisk]

And the mid '00's with the SS "Appearance package" on the Cobalts, the Malibu SS, etc, etc.

The '00-'05 Impala LS and SS got a 3.8L engine (200, 240 HP respectively) instead of the 180 HP 3.4 in the base model.

My dad's got an Avalon XLE Sport Edition (see below).

How would this one be any different (aside from cosmetics)?

Wasn't talking about the Impala.

I was pointing out that there were cars that got upgrades with trim levels.

I know that. My point was that cars like the Cobalt had an SS model with actual performance upgrades, and then a wannabe version that was just visual fluff.

That's true. Most trims are like that these days.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Again with the no powertrain upgrades?

 

[YSSMAN]

Well, that TRD Land Crusier is riiiiiiiight up my alley. Wow.

That's usually what you can expect from Toyota when they say they're going to "TRD" something.

They could've at least supercharge them or something, like they did in the past.

Past? HAHAHAHAHA

I'd say for about the past 10 years TRD has been nothing more than a visual upgrade and that's about it, with some slight suspension/ride work. Last time I saw a supercharged anything from a Toyota line was something that started with an L and not a T for Toyota or TRD. Anytime toyota talks about doing TRD I expect and almost know it's going to be this route instead of the more sensible one that you put forth.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Past? HAHAHAHAHA

They did offer a supercharger kit program before for Toyota and Scion cars, but now I found out that they cancelled the program this year.

That's different, they offered a TRD supercharger kit through the factory when I use to have a Tacoma and offer it for the Tundra. You can get factory tuned parts so long as they actually come from the manufacture. Usually they're weaker then what you find aftermarket wise. Here we have TRD cars.

So with your example it's like buying a Benz and checking off some AMG parts to get put on it before you pick it up, while these (TRD vehicles) would be actual AMG Benz.

 

[1241Penguin]

The Camry and the Avalon look pretty nice. Shame that there isn't a powertrain upgrade, but then again the V6 which produce 268 HP is nothing to sneeze at for a Camry and Avalon.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Toyota will already build you a TRD Pro Tundra or 4Runner if you'd like, but both are over $40,000

I'd love to see a TRD Yaris, Corolla, Tacoma, and Prius.

Like I said, if you have the money and the latest TRD parts catalog they'll install the stuff from the factory. Glad you brought up the Pro Tundra cause I remembered that last night but was too lazy to edit, was in a C&D not that long ago.

 

[Hearse]

More likely to have a TRD 86 with performance upgrades.

 

[Grandea GTR]

What makes me curious is that they used the Corolla LE Eco instead of the S.

 

[MoLiEG]

I can even forgive them for not adding powerups They look incredible!

 

[Joey D]

I'd really like that TRD Land Cruiser. I'm also a little disappointed we didn't get a new TRD Pro Tacoma at SEMA this year, maybe we will see it in Detroit.

 

[Mr_X]

Too bad the trd hilux and aurion weren't more successful
Would love to see them sold again
Well at least the hilux

 

[05XR8]

Okay, the Highlanger/Kluger looks like it will punch other SUVs in the grill. No extra power to back it up is not what this generation of owners want anyway. As long as "Guess How Much I Love" can be seen by all occupants is all that matters.

 

[Bram Turismo]

That Camry looks pretty sick 👍

 

[Crash]

Well, that TRD Land Crusier is riiiiiiiight up my alley. Wow.

Was gonna say the same thing. The Camry, Corolla and Highlander are quite forgettable, but that Land Cruiser. Damn.
