Spicy.

Anyone else that’s been in contact with dealers for the GX seeing an uptick in calls about availability? In the 6 weeks since I returned mine I have had that same dealer reach out to see if I was interested in another that had come in right before Christmas and two other dealers in the metro area I had previously been in contact with both emailed/texted me in the last week offering up ‘24 model year OT+’s in various colors (Atomic Silver, Incognito, Caviar, and even a Nori Green.) I told them all to let me know when MY 25’s come in. I won’t roll the dice on a ‘24 unless they want to offer a discount.

Lots and lots of 58's not moving... Salesman agreed with me that Toyota priced theses ones too high for what 'Mericans want in a $65k -ish vehicle.

That’s my sentiment as well, specifically on the 1958 trim. After checking one out I actually like the package and the vehicles intent so to speak but it’s first number in the suggested retail should be a 4, not a 5.

That is pretty much word for word, number for number, what I told the salesman, and he agreed with me. I did test drive one, and it is a fine vehicle, however I digress at the current prices, not for me.

SW Freeway?

 

[MeWantLC]

Yes sir, but that is the same picture everywhere, really. The 1958' ARE PRETTY darn nice, just not at the prices Toyota is willing to sell them. I really think that either Toyota incentives more the dealerships, or the dealerships would need to adjust the prices down to move them at whatever lost or not too much gain the might need to get to. Just my free 0.02 pesos, taken them or not for what they are worth.... .

Hmm. Might even be tempted to go test drive one just for $h*ts & giggles. Thx

Typically the base / lowest trim model of any vehicle is going to be the best value for the consumer and have the lowest margin for the manufacturer. Margin is usually higher on the upper trims.

The OT/OT+ standard package gets the compressor, aux switches and the 1" taller suspension. I thought they were going to get some hatch lighting but I've not heard that confirmed.

I shared this pic of the compressor previously. This is a prototype so finish wasn't production spec:

They work quite well, similar to an ARB CKM model.

This was the prototype compressor kit. I've not seen the production one yet:
