Here's the TOP 10 Japanese Cars coming in 2024 // LET'S GO!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Kirk, Happy New Year! 🥳🥳In a market absolutely starved of quality wagons, the Crown Signia has to be Number 1. Number 2/2A is the Land Cruiser/GX pairing. I will go out on a limb and suggest the #3 Land Cruiser FJ will arrive before a new 4Runner.😉 #4 goes to the Camry as I support the necessary move to make them 100% Hybrid. 🙌🙌🙌

[@davidp.4727]

The Crown Insignia is the best of the bunch, they nailed it !

[@rightlanehog3151]

Yes, the Signia is the type of car that will add a real option in a sea of CUVs and SUVs.

[@petejansen7220]

That crown signia looks awesome. Likely one of the best looking suv Toyota has built.Hopefully the price is reasonable

[@rightlanehog3151]

Let's hope the Signia XLE is priced something like an upper trim Outback . 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@craigo2142]

Really excited about the Civic hybrid. But, would like Lexus to bring the LBX. Smaller but more boxy design. And, from what I've been seeing US MPG in the 60-70mpg range.

[@nofameculture]

🎉Happy 2024 to you and family Kirk! Great job on the channel this year!

[@KirkKreifels]

Happy new year!

[@overunder_4x4]

Great video and happy new year! Excited about the new GX, new Land Cruiser and the new Tacoma….and finally the new 4Runner. As a 5th Gen owner myself the 6th Gen is going to be awesome.

[@benproffitt4845]

Most excited to finally see the CX-50 Hybrid come out! Wanting to see the CX-70 as well for comparison sake.

[@MatthewTheCCMA]

Super excited for all the gas & hybrid models, I don’t plan on selling my home is a long long time and I’m not able to have a charging spot at home. And we have absolutely no charges where I live. I also routinely take a road trip from southern Ohio alll the way to middle Michigan around 240 miles one way. I’d have to charge alllll the time. EV just isn’t gonna work for certain people, sooo excited for ICE 🤪🤪

[@RagShop1]

EV mandates must be stopped. Getting that walking cadaver out of the White House would be a start. Fingers crossed!

[@chaunceysnodgress3672]

There are electric vehicles that drive 240 miles. And many, many electric cars that would only take one charge for 240 mile trip. Of course, I have a hybrid and drive 240 miles with 2/3 tank.

People think the signia is controversial? lol you gotta be kidding me. It looks conservative and clean. Opposite of controversial in my opinion. It looks great!

[@rightlanehog3151]

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@steveh545]

great vid. All of these vehicles are pretty exciting, even if they aren't all in my wheelhouse. Million dollar question will be, will any of them sell for MSRP? Likely not. The Land Cruiser would get my nod, just not at 5-10K over MSRP

[@avdp9095]

First of all Kirk, wish you and your family all tge best for 2024! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@KirkKreifels]

Happy new year! Thanks ❤️

[@guerrinlove69]

Saw a Crown on the road the other day. Looks beautiful in its own goofy-lookin way

[@nextleveljourney6612]

Nice 👍🏼 CONTENT - you’re so thorough Kirk 👌🏾 I’ve seen rumor that the next Gen MAZDA CX30 Is coming as a 2025 model - possibly being revealed in Nov 2024- BONUS- will have a spicy 🌶️ (not Hot but spicy) Tuned/performance variant in the vein of Civic Si or Hyundai N-line (But not as hardcore as the mazdaspeed era)

[@brucekalter4206]

To each his own. From your list, the only one I'd be interested in is the Crown Signia Wagon.

[@ahmedsi]

Happy New Year all… wishing Kirk great success for the new year and more!

[@KirkKreifels]

Happy new year!! Success to you

[@escheidl]

It's too bad Subaru chose to use their boxer engine in their new Toyota based hybrid layout. It would have been perfect if instead they mated Toyota's 5th gen 2.5l hybrid powerplant from the upcoming Camry to their awesome AWD Subaru system, since Toyota and Subaru are sharing parts now. I've always said, the only thing wrong with Subaru is their boxer engine. That would have fixed it and made a perfect Forester, except for the "Edge" looks.

[@aurorajones8481]

12:52 If i were Honda id mimic that cool Kia van they sell in SK only w/ the light bar on the front. Dont do a Chinese copy but use that as reference for your own honda design. I love that van look they have and I'm shocked its not sold here. Im not a van guy. But for that.

[@jsfbay1]

Kirk, how sure are you that the CX-70 will be the length of the Euro CX-60? There was a rumor for awhile that the 70 would be the same length as the 90, but with only 2 rows...

[@KirkKreifels]

I'm not sure. Mazda has said the 90 and 70 are wider and bigger than the 80/60 but longer? Not sure

[@tlaccord]

I'm excited with the GX Land cruiser or the 4Runner for my next vehicle

[@blackwatch7151]

The LC250 is being delayed which will probably delay the 4Runner again. I can see the 4Runner being a version of the Fortuner that is being redesigned in 2024 and IMO will be made in Mexico to keep costs down by sharing parts with the Tacoma and reducing shipping costs.

[@thomas735]

The day they make the 4Runner in Mexico is the day the 4Runner dies.

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

Great review Kirk. Waiting to see what Honda plans to do with their Odyssey Minivan for the 2025 model year.

[@aurorajones8481]

My top is the new M5, GX550 and i lost my LC so ill need another one of those. 😭 Dont ask how i wont say. However in looking for a new one i cant stand the "updates" they did for 24 losing the clock, adding that tacky ass screen, dropping the art piece and light on the passenger dash and new button center which feels cheap IMO. The buttons they used in the new center are sub Lexus. In summery they cheapened the car. So I'm looking for a 22 or 23 coupe w/ DHP in IR/TC... good luck i know.

[@victorpirsoul3979]

The CVT in the Subaru is its Achilles heel (As are ALL Nissan/Infiniti CVTs). Current Odyssey lacks cargo room between the 3rd row seat and the tailgate and the 3rd row seats are REALLY uncomfortable for adults (with the headrests poking you in the back and your head hitting the roof). As for the Camry, I’m wondering if there will be a TRD or GR model offered in the future?

[@roblunquest3311]

Toyota Crown Signia is def in my top10 somewhere.

[@rightlanehog3151]

It is #1 on my list. 🤩

[@kenhoward3512]

The word "affordable" is questionable, anymore, for even a "reasonably-priced" new vehicle (say, $38k?). With monthly payments, combined with other related expenses, it can come to over $900/month. 'Kind of sobering.

[@lokerola]

Yea, I just can't consider any car over $30K affordable. It's out of control.

[@JS-qj2sg]

Great video do you think acura will have a TYPE-S RDX what do you think 🤔.

[@realnapster1522]

Civic hatchback hybrid will blow away the competition and will be best seller. Only question is, can they keep up with demand?

[@tinhinnh]

For a Crown (Estate means wagon right?) Signia, I want it to be a “boat” - long as a Highlander, whats the point of a short wagon?

[@Blank00]

It’s not a wagon. It, alongside other “wagons” like Outback are CUVs just like the Venza

[@tinhinnh]

@@Blank00they’re all wagons but they have to make it look like a cuv bc thats what people want. the outback is an actual wagon though, it just has a raised suspension. current venza is more cuv than the first one

[@rightlanehog3151]

Toyota calls the Signia the Crown Estate station wagon in its home market because it is a station wagon.

[@kylerider7125]

I’m trying my best to wait for the new 4Runner.

[@livinthedublife]

The Honda Civic Hybrid is going to steal so much market share. Its the perfect car. Even at a premium price its still worth it.

[@Hallowsaw]

I dont see the civic hybrid costing less than 35k and then that outprices itself.

[@amamiai]

If it's priced like the new Camry, I guess most people will prefer more power, more room and AWD...

[@livinthedublife]

AWD isn't necessary it just increase the price and reduces MPG. I live in Canada and are winters are mild now because of climate change. I would rather have more MPG. Thats the reason you buy a Hybrid in the first place. @@amamiai

[@ranthony2714]

I hope the civic hybrid is not expensive. It would have been great if the hp was kept the same as in the accord. In Canada the prius is over 40,000. The civic NEEDS to be cheaper.

[@jcougot]

The Civic should be free since it’s so ugly.

[@realnapster1522]

It should start at 30-32K in US…

[@ergofoxxxy]

[@vancity2349]

Happy New Year!

[@carofederico]

For me the N1º is RAV4, I can wait to see the new design.

[@Dia1Up]

Not a fan of the new Forester. The current one (after facelift) is great imo

[@ChavaYang]

How have i never saw the master cheif helment? Toyota Signa!

[@CarsTechWood]

Toyota should stop making hybrids for power in their SUVs and make hybrids for gas mileage. Imagine a 4Runner that gets 30mpg combined.

[@toronado455]

I'm not sure if it's even technically possible to have it both ways. I think it's an either or proposition due to the laws of physics but ,I don't know.

[@yolo_burrito]

The Land Cruiser is supposed to get 27mpg the Highlander, RAV4 both get north of 30.

[@agpawpaw5912]

I might trade Prius for civic hatch hybrid. Cargo now is much bigger vs 2024 Prius. Hope reliability will be better, not like old one

[@realnapster1522]

Civic > Any Toyota econo box.

[@GBraidi78]

I thought the redesigned Honda Passport will be on the list. I am pretty sure Honda will reveal it soon I think!

@@cgnefarious5785 then why do we beg Saudi Arabia to increase their production to lower our prices, and import Venezuela oil ?

[@cgnefarious5785]

@@BlackNAVYAmericanVET We import oil cheaper than we export. It's also something to do with processing the oil, but I don't really understand the details there. We also care about global oil production because oil prices are set globally. Outside of specific circumstances, oil prices are set by oil and gas companies and not governments, though government policies can have an effect. You know, it's a really easy fact to look up. The US is currently the largest producer of oil in the world.

[@daysyang]

Would like more hybrid, all electric is not great idea. Buddy had Honda Clarity, battery degradation down to 80% after 2 year lease. Then model gets discontinued, no.

[@Hallowsaw]

Why doesnt Mazda just shrink the Cx-5 only a touch and discontinue the cx-30... like who is buying the cx-30? You could just get a mazda 3 hatch and its the same thing. The cx-50 is more competative with the rav 4 and crv anyways cause of the size. Im pretty sure the Honda and Rav4 are so popular is 1 reliability and 2 cargo space.

[@toronado455]

4Runner sounds like it will be a Tacoma SUV.
