Heard from my dealer returning from IAA in Munich that the V8 is definitely off the table, but that a V6 hybrid is coming with the engine being sourced outside of Toyota. Not sure how reliable this info is, but he seemed confident in it.

Took the car out for the first drive after the winter break. Almost 6 months in storage with a battery charger connected. Had moved it a few times, couple of engines starts and kept the tires at 3 bar. Plenty of mouse traps around. Great first drive, everything works and just a beautiful car to...

It's called Mactac Gloss Metallic Silver, has less of a blue hue than Osmium Silver. Very happy with it, although it's too thin to serve as proper PPF. Cheers, Alex

I had my DV wrapped in silver when I picked it up from the dealer. Love the fact that I can see the lines better but able to change back anytime I want. Both lime green and purple look good, I'd go for the purple. Cheers, Alex

Yes, lots of water came out by where the screws are

Hi, apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but I had a real flood after my first car wash. After I hosed the car down, I didn't just have water flowing all over the engine and into the boot from the rear spoiler, but it also drained from within the frame of the boot lid. I had water...
