Toyota To Kick V-8 To The Curb In Three Years - Embracing Turbo V6s Instead

It's not like the Toyota V8 was exceptionally good.

agreed, it's a hoary old guzzler, i get about 13 maybe. would love a straight gas or TD 6 with a mild hybrid

Forget V6's. 2FZ please.

I hope to be able to avoid owning a turbo engine ever...

Turbos -sure they can be fun to drive in a rental car but realistically more stress over fewer cylinders and yet another expensive gizmo to be replaced down the road. My buddy RR Sport went out !k past his warranty and that was $8500 for a turbo rebuild and that was many years ago.

When it comes to my pick up give me a V8 any day for longevity, towing capacity when needed and long term reliability with fewer maintenance costs for negligible fuel cost differences than the T6/4 variants. Turbos only look good on paper and offer few real time driving advantages over NA mills.

As usual, half-baked BS from 009 when it's not political. Omitted the TTV8 on the top end of course, against the differing truck application of V35A-FTS intentionally?

Or are incendiary headlines with half of the story par for the course?

So, you throw a hissy purporting to know better, so say something that proves it.

New TTV8 will debut by 2022 in a few expensive Lexus models, including new flagship crossover, LC-F, and a GA-F product. TTV6 replaces UR engine, but not in F models. GS-F is dead, RC is further down the pike, and LS-F was supposed to get this engine.

New DF Turbo I4 will replace GR V6 in some applications on bottom end.

BTW I just this and didn't vote.

*saw this*

Won't be missed as V8 just sounds so boooooring
Take a V10 or a TTV6

There is a V8 coming, but of course leave it to 009 to focus on the seemingly negative.
