EXECUTIVE EDITOR--AUTOWEEK.COM BOB GRITZINGER: Hefty, pricey, but also near perfect: That's what this flagship version of the Highlander seems to be. In the past, Highlanders seemed to be a little underwhelming--nice enough vehicles, for sure, utilitarian and functional, yes, but nothing too special. This one, with all of this equipment, changes that perception from the moment you settle in behind the wheel. This is one substantial vehicle, with all the bells and whistles one could ever want.
The vehicle looks more stylish than its predecessors, with sharp paint and sheetmetal and a very upscale feel to the interior. It's a good-looking, right-sized vehicle that offers a third row and a third seat between the captain chairs in the second row in case you need max people hauling capacity.
Power from the 3.5-liter V6 is strong, and while a five-speed automatic may not be state of the art, it does the job and is easily manageable via the slap shifter. The steering is a little vague and seemingly needs regular, slight corrections to stay on course, but most drivers probably won't notice. The ride is smooth and quiet, and despite what feels like quite a bit of overall weight, the body roll seems well controlled.
If you can afford to go this far on sticker for what starts as a much less expensive vehicle, the Highlander Limited gives you a lot of vehicle for the money.
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: I downright enjoyed my travels in this troop transporter of a truck. It's freakin' huge, but it doesn't drive like a monster. In fact, the Highlander is well-civilized in most situations. Even when striking through expressway curves at a decent rate of speed, this ute doesn't come unnerved. The roll is reasonable--even a bit better--than most in this segment. The steering pickup is light off center but offers responsive feedback farther into maneuvers; these big wheels add weight, but not overly so.
So, yes, it handles a bit better than many vehicles in class. The Highlander is also well-powered. I thought this was a V8 at first blush, as the 270 horses are channeled efficiently and there's strong push all the way to redline. The five-speed automatic is simple and efficient. Upshifts are smooth as the revs build but not in an angry fashion. Launches are energetic, and passing is no sweat.
This Highlander is also well-suited to daily driving, cushioning road imperfections, train tracks and nearly anything in its path. The suspension is impressive, and the shocks are not excessively bouncy; whack a pothole, and this Toyota hardly blanches. This is much more relaxed than some trucks, which pitch and roll with every obstacle.
The looks are spot-on, in my view. The Highlander has sleek styling and extends back. The lines have a horizontal flow, almost reminiscent of when car styling took cues from locomotives, and there are curves around the wheel wells that make for attractive accents. The greenhouse and pillars also set off the appearance well, looking sleek and swift in contrast to many top-heavy-looking vehicles in this segment. The cabin is luxuriously appointed (as it should be for $43,000), and the door panels feel soft and pleasing. The cabin is reasonably quiet with just a hint of engine din creeping in.
My only preference would be to slash some of the electronic goodies to get the price down a bit. But if you're in the market for a ship like this, you probably want to check most of the option boxes because it will likely be a long-term member of your personal fleet--and it would be a good one.

Watch a Camry driver in full road rage
Mon, 29 Apr 2013There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.
Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids
Mon, Jan 13 2014Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
