[@fernandomontano-sg7kq]

Looks different from the rest plus it’s made in JAPAN. Me like 👍🏼

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review as always guys!

[@jerellebullock8792]

I was park next to a soild color last night pearl white with blk contrast definitely 🔥 🔥 🔥 not really a fan of the two tone look but overall its dope

[@ihateyoutube999]

Micah is so much cooler than Doug demuro. Micah should have 4 million subs

[@skoprowski]

Totally agree! I can't stand Demuro, he makes so many mistakes that I don't think he's as knowledgeable as he wants you to think he is.

[@J.W.W.]

I rarely watch a Doug video. He’s an entertainer, not an auto expert

[@jacobyo99]

@@skoprowskiHe reviews an absurd amount of cars. You can’t expect him to remember every single detail. Remember that Doug is reviewing cars from the past 40 years, 2-3 times a week. Micah is just doing new ones and is going off of provided press materials.

[@paulklp8262]

Doug is just straight up annoying. Micah is chilled out and cool.

[@thembp4sho]

Doug knows about cars. He used to be a writer for autotrader.

[@Paul-cx4gm]

That's a dang nice car.

[@owenmcdonald5922]

Enjoyed your output this last year. Looking forward to seeing what you do in '24. In the meantime have a great Christmas.

[@kelvinkirkland6068]

Wonderful video thanks for sharing 😊

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks for watching, Kelvin!

[@derrickaf1]

Fresh and funny (relevant) review...as always:)! Thank you...

[@stevennevins6643]

The upcoming Signia makes a lot more sense.

[@randyp9491]

I’ve been waiting for this review. I kinda like the look of the 👑. So yeah as a guy with back issues I purchased a BMW 230i thinking It’s being low to the ground wouldn’t be an issue. I was wrong 😞. I panicked and stopped in at CarMax to see what they’d offer to take it off my hands. Being a 2024 with only 500 miles they said they had no info to give me a quote so they just “came up with a number”. After waiting an hour for the appraisal they had an offer. 5k more than what I paid for it! What!!!! I was like sold! Now I’m going to be very sure before I buy another car.

[@LLG47]

I don't think these are selling like crazy, so it probably wouldn't be impossible to take one for a longer drive without them giving you a hard time.

[@Mr21scott]

None of this happened.

[@JWFas]

If I got this, I'd go with the Limited trim for the gas mileage. I also do not want low profile tires, so I'd stick with the 19-inch wheels.

[@Quantum-ho9te]

💯 percent.

[@RyanDoonan]

That is the same trim I would get also the limited

[@ALMX5DP]

Are 19" wheels the smallest you can get? That's still pretty big IMO for this type of vehicle. Wonder if 18s or even 17s would fit and could help reduce weight and increase range perhaps (not to mention be a bit more comfortable).

[@jasemalmarshoodi]

Bro has good driving skills while explaining Its sick how he didn’t get any fine

[@kevinn1158]

I think the Crown Signia will be the family rock star. A shame they aren't bringing the Crown Sport

[@samyoon3218]

Looks so cool

[@otomoto258]

This car in black is stunning

[@rickseconds7676]

At 6'2", is it a good size cockpit area?

[@slighwentwalking2024]

Its cool looking.....I like the 2 tone color variations. I admit I don't know who its for? 🤔 If you had a Subaru Legacy and wanted something the same but different..ya know?

[@naveenthemachine]

The clown sedan is for Toyota girls who don’t know anything 😂

[@jywn]

very curious to see how the force-4 4WD system would fair on snowy roads 🌨

[@kimkoenig1872]

Going to test drive a limited today with hubby who’s 6’2 and a Honda employee. Our kids are older so the Signia is not a necessity. This year have had Jeep GC Summit 4xe wanted to love but it dangerously turned off 4 occasions while driving dealing with lemon now. Husband has accord but finds it extremely uncomfortable for his back and on bad back days impossible to drive. I can’t even get in and out with bad hip. Didn’t like the Pilot new design like a low boat. Looking forward to Crown mpg and luxury detailing for our mature family.

[@midlifemom5829]

Hope u can test drive the Crown Signia soon

[@othman0077]

very nice car well done Toyota I wish there's a cornering light!

[@giad117]

there isnt. but there is auto levelling light

[@burningknuckle26]

awesome features in this car.

[@ForgotToMentionThat]

Family time!!!!! Good morning auto world.

[@newsmedia-one9756]

12:42 I like the base XEL trim Micah 😂😂😂

[@anaveragehuman2937]

Love these reviews and am interested in the Signia because wagonoid hatchy suv thing.

[@fe2nq]

I want one so bad

[@christiangonzalez4847]

i want this vehicle

[@gothops154]

13:25 I remember the Kia Stinger came out and everyone was all excited and then dealers marked them up and no one bought them and now they’re canceled lol

[@tgr.4550]

I wonder if Toyota would consider giving it an electric platform/configuration.

[@robertlandry5676]

Quirky but AWD ❄️☃️

[@witsendcottage595]

Darn shame its not a hatchback

[@ALMX5DP]

That'll be the Crown Signia.

[@JWFas]

That will be the upcoming 2025 Crown Signia.

[@jonathangerm]

Just curious, why do people always say that in the comments?

[@ALMX5DP]

@@jonathangerm I suppose it's because hatchbacks are pretty cool and practical.

[@tinhinnh]

thats why its called Crown “sedan” 😂

[@herewegoagain7403]

This is the closest toyota to a lexus

[@djplonghead5403]

No. The Venza might be closer

[@hbdarji]

Sad that the Venza is going away 😢 I'm waiting for the Signia to drop in, maybe that will lower prices for the Venza and then I can get the Venza.

[@hereigoagain5050]

Beautiful! Someone has to build a Buick Park Avenue. Full marks for Kiddo's sartorial choice.

[@djplonghead5403]

Yes! I am just waiting for a park avenue.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Micah, Good news, just about everything wrong with the Crown sedan will be made right with the upcoming Crown Signia CUV/SUV/Wagon😁😁 Merry Christmas!🎄🎄🎄

[@naveenthemachine]

No it won’t 😂. The crown signia is another pointless vehicle that’s bound to die next year like the venza

[@naughtysauce4323]

Your kiddo with that hairstyle is giving me Kirsten Dunst from Interview W/ A Vampire vibes.

[@ssamcobalt4956]

Would have loved to see greater ground clearance on a sedan. Sounds interesting

[@Michael-xz1nk]

Love the Crown…just want an option for gas and FWD with lower price…not holding my breath…a real shame!!!

[@c33c33c]

Cool car, need a wagon or hatch version.

[@jimthumerzs2301]

Base cloth seats look decidedly low-rent. Would like to see a leather option on the XLE. Also, like most Toyotas, rear doors don't open up far enough.

[@adatiaad]

What happened to the arm rest test!?

[@General_M]

He did the arm rest test, it was 75 in and out.

[@misterbeard2881]

I think it looks nice from the front, but Lady Muzio is right about that clown faced rear. The inside looks pretty bland so unless the tech about its drive train is bullet proof, I see no way to justify the price. Thanks Muzios, looking forward to more!

[@robertcostello9989]

Hard to find one not crash tested yet and at $15 plus per quart of oil for oil changes is high

[@jlkh03]

Boaty McBoatface rollin'

[@winc06]

It seems silly to build a taller car just for a higher hip level. A little additional ground clearance would be so welcome on a dirt road in a national park occasionally or a steep driveway exit to a highly crowned road more frequently.

[@springertube]

Yes, missed opportunity to do both. Doesn't have to be as much clearance as an Outback; if that's too much maybe split the difference. Re the tall roof, they're perhaps railing from criticism over many years of the awful Tacoma and not much better 4Runner driving position..... where there is lots of ground clearance but at the expense of a short roof and resulting terrible driving and passenger positions -- they put the seats (virtually) on the floor..... so the driving position is all splayed out very uncomfortable. (They apparently improved this dynamic in the new Tacomas)

[@djplonghead5403]

Yes. My family has both a 1992 s-10 and a 1965 impala 2 door sedan. Both of the vehicles have excellent hip levels. You just sit down and rotate yourself in. Full size sedans used to be quite high off the ground- much higher than modern ones. The s-10 is just a perfect truck for daily driving.

[@user-lf8gt1fx7w]

Parents, please give her mic it's going to be more fun!

[@MikeTarlton]

USA: We would like the Crown Sport Japan: We’ll send you all the other ones but the Sport

[@ggreg2258]

I think that its a poor replacement for the Avalon! I bought a 2022 Avalon Limited with every option I could find and the cost was $47K. The Crown top of the line is almost $55K. Isn't that time to go to Lexus? I have driven the Crown twice: nice ride but sort of lacks the luxury the Avalon has, I think. Also, I really like a heads-up display and it's not even available, among other things. All in all, I think that its a disappointment. OH, and I do not like the design!

[@benderaviation]

Toyota Crown summarized: It's @2:28

[@Vontai21]

This car is terribly overpriced

[@ayahanini15]

👍👍👌👏👏🥰🥰

[@2Kriss2Kross]

Wish Toyota would send the Crown Sport CUV, the best looking Crown version. I’d trade my car with no hesitation if that were to happen.

[@pinkisforpimps]

That's the crown signia that's coming

[@2Kriss2Kross]

@@pinkisforpimps Google the Crown Sport CUV. 😊 Different vehicle makes the Signia look like a hearse.

[@ShafinRehman]

As someone who got a chance to experience the previous generation Crown overseas, this new one is feels off. The interior definitely isn't premium or luxurious as the previous, and the powertrain isn't as smooth. The styling is also worse, especially the rear. I guess Toyota had to dumb it down or something for the North American market. Kind of a shame.

[@hoderharris]

Why not just get a Lexus es 350....its basically the same price and quieter to boot.

[@RChyshkevych]

Would have been better and more usable as a hatch

[@g00glechr0me8]

Ridiculous that the XLE doesn't come with a heated steering wheel.... Have to spend a few thousand more to get it! (higher trim level).

[@jeffr6280]

What's the point of having a car this size with no headroom in the back? What's the the point of having a lifted sedan as opposed to a SUV-?(see AMC Eagle). Perhaps that's why I hardly see any of these things on the road after being out for a full model year.

[@MicahMuzio]

Full disclosure. The AMC Eagle always seemed kinda cool to me.

[@jeffr6280]

Me too, I just didn't be the first one to say it ;)

[@gerrylopez6873]

Please, children are not baby goats (kids). They are children, which were not aborted by the mother

[@chrisa.8175]

Too pricey!!

[@Jonah-in-Boise-ID]

They are $3,000+ off at my local Toyota dealer. That helps.

[@koven1497]

It looks nice and I enjoy these uplifted sedans, but it doesn’t feel all that premium. The lower trim engine is noisy and the hybrid is so touchy. Just a bit overpriced and it’s missing the Crown emblem.

[@koven1497]

Also, their center infotainment is nice and HD, but the driver display seems to be dull both in color and brightness. I do like the animations for driving modes, but the arrangement of icons is a mess compared to the competition.

[@ReviewedByNick]

If I wasn't looking hard at it, I would think its a smaller version of a Dodge Charger

[@unbought6058]

Toyota Maxima

[@YourMom-vl2sp]

This won't be back for another generation in America

[@trspotr]

Yes. Crown is old people's car in Japan 😂

[@zvonkokolar4992]

It looks similar to Citroen C5x

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

Toyota in Japan: Builds nice compact cars for the Japanese market Toyota in America: Small cars don't sell in America, we must build them big. Crown entered the chat. Talk about a car that's BFN (big for nothing). Tell me you don't understand a market without telling me you don't understand a market.

[@chemjam92]

Large sedan with no rear headroom? That's not good Toyota. Those of us over six feet do sit in the rear sometimes. Btw I think XLE not XEL.

[@nick87nd]

It needs some sort of deck lid spoiler. The back is too round.

[@Zzzz99599]

Not for anyone even slightly above average height. Feels very confining for such a beast.

[@The_Official_Sarohan]

More like a hatchback

[@jimjones-pz1tt]

How hot does it have to be before your wife removes that head gear?

[@Jonah-in-Boise-ID]

I like it. But definitely not enough to buy one.

[@craigking6749]

why would anyone buy this when you can get a Honda Pilot Elite for the same price and have way more room and versatility and the same luxuries or more

[@ALMX5DP]

The premium or luxury marketplace seems to be driven a lot by emotion and aesthetic preference.

[@craigking6749]

@@ALMX5DP and not logic and realizing you can get a lot more for the same price elsewhere

[@Jonah-in-Boise-ID]

This is why sedans are a dying breed. It’s a shame. I really like them. Sedans just aren’t near as practical. Especially this one. With only 5.8” of ground clearance and low profile tires. Plenty of opportunities to scrape up your car.

[@ALMX5DP]

@@craigking6749 getting more is only of use if you want or need it. There is not a lot of logic in new premium or luxury vehicle purchases.

[@RUSH__fan]

Micah always stresses his long torso, is it because he has a big head and little arms? It doesn't appear to be the case on video. Weird car anyway.

[@springertube]

There are a bunch of us out there like that... flip- flopped proportions, sometimes subtle for others to notice but comparatively short legs and long torso versus the average or norm for our overall (whatever) height. I am long-torso'd as well, at 6 - 0 but there are many people taller than I that don't have the head clearance issues, because they're either more "normally" proportioned (medium-medium), or the other way around, long legs, short torso. Lots of basketball players like that, that don't look all that tall through the window with no head clearance issues, but their seat is way back for the legs and arms.

@@jshashwat93 no it’s not. The crowns just ugly. The crown in Japan is a proper one imo. This clown lifted sedan looks really ugly and not to mention fewer features than the old Avalon and the fastest crown isn’t that quick

[@arhamkhakwani5851]

I’ve never seen such stupidity in the comment section be this consistent over the years. If you really hate Toyota vehicles, then don’t bother watching the videos nor bother commenting. And you comment the second you watch the video, at least that’s what you usually do, and then say stuff that not even the reviewers agree with you about. Get a life dude. A world exists without commenting on Toyota videos. No one cares about your opinions, proven over time, and none of us want your validation nor do we care how you see Toyota/Lexus.
