How it scores for you10 scores
A rolling concept car with a naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack and Toyota-grade dependability - buy it as sculpture and grand tourer, not practical transport.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 6 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +10 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 48% of cars we track.
5.4 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 20% of other coupes we track.
Rear seats are vestigial and the 5.4 cu ft trunk is weekend-bag only.
471-hp naturally aspirated V8 with a glorious soundtrack; a sublime GT even if heavy for a sports car.
Stunning cabin, but the touchpad interface (touchscreen only from 2024) frustrated daily use.
Supple GT ride and superb front seats; hushed at speed.
Luxury brands like Lexus tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
