🥲 TOYOTA BRING THE CROWN SPORT TO THE US PLEASEEEEE

[@Unchainedmaple888]

The Crown Sport is so much better than our current Crown liftback and the upcoming estate. Idk what crack Toyota is smoking not bringing the sport here

[@faheemabbas3965]

@@Unchainedmaple888the crown we got is a sales flop. A disaster. They need to bring the crown sport over.

[@pinkipipe]

Crown Sport 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@koven1497]

As long as they keep the Crown symbol and don’t replace it…

[@shadowhound5113]

A lift back would have made the sedan better.

[@righteousone1]

Sport looks a lot better.

[@redhunnid5142]

Waaay better it’s the best looking vehicle Toyota has made since the Supra MK4

[@franzvanjulio5523]

That Crown is a gorgeous car. Thank you for bringing it to us, Kirk. I’m excited for you being there. David is a great companion on your trip.

[@KirkKreifels]

He's the ultimate companion. My Gandalf per se haha. I'd be lost w/o him here.

[@nkimandi]

they have hit a definite homerun with the Sport..imagining GR version and probably a manual option

[@JacksonHustler]

dang, this would be really sweet. a 6 speed manual luxury sport car

[@JCVACCARO]

The Crown Sport looks sooooo nice

[@JJustinXu]

Hopefully the Crown Sport makes it to the US someday!!!

[@huyduong7202]

The Crown Sedan looks amazing. I'm glad Dave didn't use his tools to measure the panels gap and the paint thickness. 😅

[@petouser]

That sedan looks so beautiful, I'm in love. They really should sell it internationally.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Crown Sport should come to North merica. It is a stunning looking car from the exterior. Inside, I think it could use some more sporting touches but the interior is good enough. IT's the exterior that truly stands out.

[@kevinn1158]

I cannot believe Toyota might not bring the Sport SUV in NA... Thanks guys! Now I'm missing Japan. 5,900,000 Yen is 39.3k USD. You guys better go for street noodles!!

[@DN.4444]

Love the Crown Sport, would def be on the top of my list if we had it here in the US! Thanks for the hot-off-the-presses reporting, Kirk! Thank you and David for your perspectives!

[@chillaxinn]

Thank you Kirk for showcasing both the Crown Sport and sedan models. It must be great to see these in person rather than on press photos. I'll be going to see these in person next year when I go to the Tokyo Auto Salon next January! Its been over 3 years since I went to Japan. As for sunroofs, in Taiwan many luxury cars didn't have sunroofs unless they were higher trim or imported from the US. It seems Japan is similar in that aspect.

[@ryannatividad3137]

From what I've seen, the relative ubiquity of sunroofs/moonroofs on luxury and even most mid-trim mainstream cars seems to be a unique North American market preference. Both in Asia and in Europe, there seems to be a distinct preference of some buyers in those markets for luxury and premium vehicles that don't necessarily include the sun exposure and/or added complication of a moonroof. It could also be that traditionally, most cars in the US and Canada are sold out of dealer stock, and in Asia and Europe, that car buyers are able to order their cars with more specific and bespoke options. Typically in the US, most manufacturers bundle features in popular packages, forcing you into the moonroof if you want features such as heated seats or an upgraded sound system.

[@billyjoebeanie4468]

Crown Sport looks incredible…would absolutely buy if this comes stateside

[@aaronjaggan]

Two winners! Thanks Kirk for covering this!

[@newsmedia-one9756]

Kirk, this is pure eye candy! Beautiful, beautiful crowns, and thank you for displaying these! You’re amazing man❤

[@raycordero01]

The combination of Mr. David and you sir Kirk is great!!!! Specially with David in Japan!!! You both are awesome! Thank you so much!!!

[@chinito77]

Thanks for going out of the way on your dime to get up close and personal on these new models. Keep up the amazing work and enjoy your stay in Japan!

[@Bullyproof2]

The sport needs to happen in north America... I want one now. But, in canada we probably wont see one till 2025 unfortunately. I'm also praying they keep the crown badge on it. Love,love,love it cant wait

[@KuyaArbee]

WOAHHHH 2024 CROWN! this better come to the USA! sad part is TOYOTA USA dealers are getting too GREEDY in my honest opinion

[@faheemabbas3965]

Literally the reason I didn’t buy a Toyota when getting a new car. I swear it will be Toyota’s downfall in the US if they don’t do anything to stop it. Making the Lexus TX to combat Grand Highlander sales isn’t a good strategy, like Honda making the Integra to combat Civic Si markups (And Type S for Type R markups). Is this some kind of new Japanese North American anti-markup strategy?

[@KuyaArbee]

@@faheemabbas3965 ya and then you’re gonna get stuck with the premium service and prices 😅😂🤣 so it’s still a win win with Toyota… and Lexus… regardless ya it’s crazy to see how Toyota and Honda aren’t fighting for the consumers but letting these dealerships gate keep these cars and are demanding markup prices…. That’s why I’m waiting on the new model 3 and Y….. no price gouging just adjust based on market and demand and don’t have to deal with the sales and finance folks….

[@shadowhound5113]

Then the dealership is like oh we don’t raise prices and cheat you out of money. BTW here is $10,000 of add ons that you have to get.

[@lifeisgood7762]

Loved the honesty and objective comments by your guest/host...! So refreshing to hear! 👍

[@twanjr]

That Crown Sport looks amazing! Lexus should inject some of the Crown into their brand DNA even more.

[@greggp5044]

I'm really hoping for the crown sport to make its way to the US, I feel like it's the car I've been looking for!

[@MisterMister5893]

Get a Macan.

[@vinnycent007]

Two of my favourite car youtubers. Thanks for the awesome coverage.

[@andrewharrington7706]

Congrats!. Least you’ve seen it in the flesh!. Keep it coming. Have fun!!.

[@askaniuk]

What a scoop! Congratulations on gaining this exclusive access ..I'm hoping the estate version reaches UK shores

[@TopElectricSUV]

I think you got the best guy in Japan to help explain the Japanese-spec Toyota models. David offers some fantastic insights. Great work!

[@darknessislight3689]

Kirk’s in heaven 😊 I’m so happy for you 👍🏾 thanks for the great coverage 🫶🏾

[@alwayne5932]

Glad y’all bringing these Japanese cars to us back home here Kirk…am trying to catch every reviews u & David got going on…because I wanna see my favorite’s Toyota & Lexus 😁👍🏾

[@Gordon76100]

Great coverage Kirk, all the quick hand movements reminds me of a late 90's action comedy.

[@jml9550]

If the Sport comes to the US at $50k, I will be the first one in line with my checkbook. As much as I love my 2017 ES350 with only 40k miles on her, she is a goner. 😊 but I ain’t paying a dime over MSRP on general principle.

[@Michael-kd7hn]

Definitely hoping for the Crown Sport

[@jasonknowledge8824]

Wow! If they made the horsepower match it's looks it would be a hit here in the US

[@2ZZGE100]

Crown Sport looks so good. It needs the GR Corolla powertrain, and it will be a big hit.

[@Tonga2]

Love the SPORT !!!! Hybrid Sport is my choice and would order one the minute I hear it will be available!!

[@americandude3825]

I’m happy for y’all two. Best yt reviewers. Kirk and David take photos and get souvenirs. Great memory. Ps. Toyota we want a xtra cab hybrid max aka X Runner Tacoma.

[@tylersrubar6451]

Love the exterior lighting on both!!

[@mensahfrancis4216]

The Crown Sport car looks beautiful man😂😂 been hyped since i saw early pictures..sick🔥🔥

[@rightlanehog3151]

Kirk, Send in the Crowns. There ought to be Crowns. Maybe next year . 😉🤣😂

[@illuminaughty2929]

The sport for me and the wagon for her. 😂

[@crownvigilante]

Super interesting guys - also David being from Japan..Awesome

[@lionintu]

Omg I can't wait to see the Crown Estate tomorrow. Good job guys

[@arslan479]

Kirk so glad to see you in japan. Love the crown sport. Please plead our case & say UK needs Toyota/Lexus sedans not just suvs

[@ChavaYang]

Ive been a fan of the crown sport since your earliest videos!

[@gnerd07]

That crown sport is in dream car territory for me right now. Stunning vehicle. I have to import one

[@joec1774]

Very exciting, thank you for sharing this video. David is awesome, though I must say I dont understand the incessant comparisons of the Crown Sport to BMWs or the Porsche Macan - is this priced the same as those vehicles/ am I missing something?

[@Irishmanbikes]

The Crown Sport is very good looking, but it seems to sit closer to the ground then an SUV sitting up. Love the Crown Sedan.

[@SuperSaqer]

I hope we get the Crown sedan here in the GCC. I hope you make the most out of the trip and say hi to David for me!

[@cupompa]

Thanks for sharing Kirk, I filled out that QR Code survey thing asking to bring both cars to the USA. Google Translate helped

[@MikeTarlton]

They need to bring the Crown Sport with some more power to the US and they’ll sell like crazy.

[@seanh2390]

great video guys

[@fegik5922]

from the crown line up was released in summer 22, the Crown Sport is what pulled me in. We need the Crown Sport international ly!

[@aye3678]

I love these! They look amazing. If I had to choose which one of the two I would go for, I would go for the Sedan. Don't get me wrong, it is such a difficult decision when you are choosing from two beautiful cars

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada Thanks for the presentation and I'm looking forward to seeing this hybrid here

[@cowboyfoodie9551]

this the youtuber crossover we needed

[@AndrewG2.0]

Please, please! Tell me they bring that sport to the US, I'm in love with the design

[@fvillar22]

I love how you both bounce comments off each other.

[@alengreen589]

WOW I´m impressed how good they look.

[@jsfbay1]

I actually like the sedan more than I was expecting! If it had a liftback I could be tempted by this!!! Thanks! My pick is Estate, then Sport.

[@Toyota4Life]

Toyota is killing it Nothing from Honda or Nissan looks this good

[@keino111689]

I can’t believe we’re not getting this in the U.S. I’m ready to trade in my Honda accord for this.

[@swallis1236]

😂 you guys are so funny together, great to see. Oh nice car too 😁

[@farooki8021]

Personally I like the Crown Estate more.

[@ImportKnight13]

I was in Tokyo last week and saw a white sport version driving around. I had to double take "wth is that?!" It looked amazing!

[@elementkx]

That sport is FIRE. Bring it over and you got me...buying a used one. lol.

[@BernonCars]

What a treat!!

[@KirkKreifels]

Yo Bern!

[@mcximus]

Crown Sport looks great. Toyota should brings it to the states

[@jpdoc5722]

Nice 👍, Kirk & David , 2GRther!!

[@0mcabra]

Arigatou! I'm having breakfest and drinking coffee and watching this! I pick Crown Sport

[@oesoy]

I'm soooo stoked you're in Japan! You must be like a kid in a candy store!

[@LarryNgetich]

The back actually reminds me of a '90s RX-7, which is a beautiful car too. Toyota's design decisions in the last 5 years have been true works of art.

[@goatmonkey2112]

That thing looks great. It would sell like crazy in the USA too. Ramp up that production.

[@douglashewitt1350]

The Crown Sport of course! 😊

[@nickchandler4334]

Crown Sport! Love the look.

[@evfuture6643]

I am with you Kirk, bring the Crown Sedan

[@T12i99iN]

Wow, the Crown line up looks really good.

[@peethasaccent]

Crown Sedan is like taking a classic look of a car and make it futuristic. Which more car are like this.

[@phuocpham18407]

Hello, I loved all Toyota and I love this car( Grown Sport) do you think is ever come to America? Thank you

[@jsfbay1]

I'd be happy with this *or* the Estate (though I prefer the Estate.) I sure hope you get to see one and can show the cargo space! THANKS!

[@mrhawkeye293]

Crown sport is so awesome looking. How tall are you Kirk? It looked like headroom was lacking...

[@marwan-1990]

Nice 👍🏻 any good news about the next gen Camry or Corolla

[@johtodev]

that hatch looks so nice.

[@aspenmarler6061]

Crown Sport by a mile! First Toyota I’d consider in years from a design perspective.

[@BroVCam]

This thing looks AMAZING! Very Ferrari Porosangue'isck!😅 I sure hope we're getting this version in the States! I WANT the two-tone yellow!!! 🤤🥰👍🏽

[@thrash123ful]

Crown sedan for the win.Fingers crossed it comes to the US.

[@joshm9003]

The Crown sedan is baller looking i love it. looks yakuza spec right off showroom floor. Kind of like a lowered first gen ls400

[@3WadeD3]

Crown sport would be amazing in Matte Black!

[@juanf.i.6233]

Hello Kirk! Tienes alguna información de como será el nuevo Toyota RAV4? Un saludo desde España.

[@jsfbay1]

At 16:55, what is "FCEV" (on the plaque on the left of the screen)?

[@harisjaved1379]

That crown sedan is freaking amazing! Too bad you did not do it justice in the video. You captured sections of it but not the whole car. But the sedan looks lovely.

[@johnj2179]

Crown sedan so beautiful 😍 I can't get enough haha😅

[@vadukas289]

This car is a joy to look at 😮

[@brianzhuang4319]

I need the sedan. Looks so good

[@ronaldhitchings1847]

Lexus ES sales will suffer if that were to happen. As I had predicted a year ago, no other crown models are coming to U.S. market. 😂

[@user-fy8qh8ly3g]

Sport or estate. Both are stunning. I''ll wait for the phev.

[@L1Ght_67]

Hey Kirk, what's the starting price for this particular Crown sedan?

[@singledadsurrogacy-willdavlin]

We need a 9 inch ground clearance sienna , the perfect vehicle

[@faheemabbas3965]

It exists. Mobility Sienna without the wheelchair lift and skirts.

[@singledadsurrogacy-willdavlin]

​@@faheemabbas3965not from Toyota though Current sienna is to low for regular roads

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

Y ?

[@peppersmith]

That Sport is Nasty. I bet that will come close or match the Carmy in sales.. Once it gets over here. But i want it to be Fast. Could u imagine if this came with the Supra Motor. Good Lawd, I'll be first in line..... Only Dreaming!!!!

[@mirai_T]

I love Crown sedan. My childhood dream car.

[@will8677]

I would prefer any of the crowns except the one we (US market) got. Maybe I'm not the target demographic. Sport > Estate > Sedan > lifted sedan we have.

[@explosev6513]

Man that crown sedan is so beautiful! Wish we could get that in the US.

[@redhunnid5142]

They need to give that Toyota Crown Sport a AWD drive option if brought to the United States please make it AWD drive too!!!
