'...but all they seem to have done since then is endlessly fine-tune and finesse the same vehicles.'

If only the other mainstream manufacturers would follow suit?

I love the 1GR-FE/5VZ-FE/2UZ-FE engines, I would just keep buying the same car with those. Except they last for hundreds of thousands of miles, so I might only need one other in my lifetime.

I just want a low km 2JZ-GTE so that when my 7M-GTE blows up again I have something better to replace it with. :)

The worst thing that stops me from even considering them is the absolutely attrocious and outdated infotainment and dashboard design. I drove a brand new Auris and Yaris recently and jesus, it felt like being in a car from 2004 - awful, slow touchscreens with animations straight from WindowsCE era, huge unnecessary buttons on the dash(why do you get the second/minute/hour buttons for setting the clock right on the top of the dash??? How many times in the lifetime of the vehicle are you going to use them? Why give them such a prominent place?). Even their most "futuristic" vehicles like the Prius feel extremely outdated inside.

True, they should stop being short sighted and get on board with CarPlay and Android Auto, but it's relatively simple to pop out the dashboard and put in an aftermarket $500 head unit. It is an added cost with installation of course, but I feel like it's worth it for the reliability and fixability of their reputable models.
