The article explores four unexpected Toyota models that featured the legendary 2JZ engine, including the Aristo, Crown, Origin, and Progrès, highlighting their unique features and significance in automotive history.
The 2023 Toyota Crown, which replaced the discontinued Avalon, is experiencing similar sales issues as its predecessor. The Crown has sold just over 3,300 units so far this year, which is comparable to sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Toyota GR86. The car's year-to-date sales are currently worse than the Avalon's numbers last year. However, the Crown's April sales are better than the Avalon's, indicating that it needs time to catch on with consumers. The fate of the Crown remains uncertain, as it could suffer the same fate as the Avalon if sales continue to decline.
