2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition Priced from $89,040

Toyota is adding two special edition models for the 2020 model year, the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition and 86 Hakone Edition. Both vehicles will feature special touches and they won’t come cheap, especially for the hulking Land Cruiser.

The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition will be the rarer of the two special edition models because production will have a limit. Additionally, the Heritage Edition will only come as a two-row model and in either Midnight Black Metallic or Blizzard Pearl exterior colors. Pricing starts at $89,040, $2,330 more than a standard 2020 Land Cruiser. That gets you extras like bronze 18-inch BBS wheels, retro-styled Land Cruiser badges, dark headlight clusters and foglight surrounds, dark chrome side mirrors, bronze contrast stitching in the interior, and all-weather floor mats. Under the hood is the same 381-hp 5.7-liter V-8 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Toyota’s go-anywhere goods like the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension system, CRAWL control, Multi-Terrain Select, and Off-Road Turn Assist all come standard on the 2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition.

The 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition checks in at $30,825 with the six-speed manual or $31,545 with the six-speed automatic. This gets you bronze 17-inch alloy wheels, a two-tone tan and black interior, tan contrast stitching, a black rear spoiler, and a tan Toyota 86 logo embroidered into the passenger’s side of the dash. All 86 Hakone Edition owners also get a tan-colored key fob cover with the 86 logo in black. Based on the GT trim, the 86 Hakone Edition also comes standard with full LED headlights, chrome dual exhaust tips, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, LED fog lights, and an instrument cluster display. In terms of performance, there are no changes; the 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition keeps the same 2.0-liter flat-four with 205 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque (200 hp and 151 lb-ft with the automatic).

First out of the gate will be the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition, hitting dealerships in late summer 2019. Consumers wanting a 2020 86 Hakone Edition will need to wait because it goes on sale in the fall.

This Awesome Green Version of the Toyota 86 Is Coming to the U.S.

There is a new special-edition version of the Toyota 86 sports car for 2020 called the Hakone Edition.It's finished in an attractive shade of British racing green that Toyota calls Hakone Green, which contrasts nicely with the bronze 17-inch wheels and the tan and black interior.The Hakone Edition 86 will go on sale in fall 2019 as a 2020 model.Just a few months ago, we gushed over a Japan-only special-edition Toyota 86 finished in a beautiful shade of British racing green-and now we're thrilled to report that there's a similar version of the rear-drive sports car destined for the U.S. It's a limited-production model called the 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition, and it features a color scheme nearly identical to that of the Japan-market British Green Limited model. Aside from the rich green exterior paint, it gets a black rear spoiler and bronze 17-inch wheels that make for a delectable-looking combo, if you ask us. Toyota says that both the car itself and the color-Hakone Green-are named after the famously twisty Hakone Turnpike near Tokyo. Inside, the highlights include seats wrapped in tan leather and black faux suede, tan and black stitching throughout the cabin, and an embroidered "Toyota 86" logo on the dash and the embossed floor mats. Toyota even throws in a pair of tan leather key pouches and a folio cover.

There's nothing to differentiate the Hakone Edition mechanically. It comes with the same 2.0-liter boxer four as the standard car, paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Because this edition amounts to little more than an appearance package, we assume it won't cost too much more than the 86's base GT trim level, which starts at $29,565.Toyota says the Hakone Edition will be limited but won't say how many units are coming to the U.S. at this point. Production starts this fall.

Ownership Review: 2019 Toyota 86 via /r/cars

Ownership Review: 2019 Toyota 86

I purchased my Toyota 86 brand new in Dec 2018 after I got fed up with my 2011 Chevy Cruze's horrible reliability and traded it in. After nearly 7 months and 12k miles, I figured I'd share my experience with it so far.

Other Cars I've Owned

2007 Honda S2000

2008 Honda S2000 CR

2009 Chevy Cobalt SS coupe

2011 Chevy Cruze Eco (yuck... It's weird that I still miss this car, even though ownership of this PoS was stressful. I just get too attached to cars that I own!)

Other Cars I Considered Buying

ND Miata: I couldn't justify owning a two-seater as my commuter.

Mustang Ecoboost: I love the Mustang, but I wanted something a bit more unique. I see Mustangs everywhere every single day. This isn't to say that the 86 is a rare car, but compared to a Mustang, it certainly is. I also decided that I wanted something lightweight, and with the Mustang Ecoboost pushing past 3500 lbs, it just wasn't for me. One more thing I considered was cost of insurance. My 86 costs me $94/month for full coverage insurance through Mercury Insurance. I was quoted $280/mo for full coverage on the Mustang Ecoboost. I didn't even bother getting quotes for the Mustang GT's insurance.

Nissan 370Z: See FD Miata. The fuel economy and curb weight were also not what I desired, although the car has plenty of power to keep a person entertained for years.

Honda S2000: 😥 I want another one so bad, but again, see FD Miata.

BMW 335i: questionable reliability, 3500+ lb curb weight, and expensive maintenance costs drew me away. With insurance also being a major factor, this car wasn't for me.

Honda Civic Type-R: none of the dealerships in SoCal would sell the car for MSRP or anywhere close to it. The cheapest markup was well over $5k. One dealership even quoted me $48k otd for a Type-R. I'm not paying luxury car prices for a Civic, no matter how great the new Type-R is.

Subaru WRX: I was willing to cave on my RWD/curb weight requirements after I test drove a 2016 WRX. I loved it. Then I saw insurance costs of over $300/mo for me (Male - age 29 - two speeding tickets from previous motorcycle ownership) and I decided against it.

Performance

If you're looking for straight line speed, well, this is /r/Cars. You guys already know better.

In my honest opinion, the 86 is as close to a modern S2000 with cargo space as you can get. RWD, <3000 lbs curb weight, built for the twistiest of twisty roads. It's not as rev-happy as an S2000, but it provides an exhilaration I haven't experienced since I sold my S2K back in Dec 2010. It took me 8 years, but I finally found a car I can adore and enjoy as much as I did the S2000 without sacrificing space for work-related and child hauling duties. Just look at my trunk. What the picture isn't showing is a full fridge worth of groceries that I packed further into the trunk.

The Twins handle like street legal go-karts. Turn the steering wheel in any direction and these cars will make you feel like you're driving on rails. It's honestly amazing. I haven't had fun like this since I sold my last sportbike in early 2018.

Styling

I live in SoCal, where it's hard to draw attention from anyone if you're not in an expensive supercar or luxury car. Even the coolest of BMW M cars and Mercedes AMGs get ignored on a daily basis.

However, I still spot people checking my car out constantly. I know some people hate the new front bumper on the 86 compared to the FR-S's front end, but I think the headlights and tail lights more than make up for it. I love the way this car looks. It just screams "Sexy" from a distance, and I constantly find myself turning around to stare at it any time I park and walk away.

The 86 looks tiny until I park next to something like a first-gen Miata, but compared to other modern cars, my 86 is definitely a small car.

Fuel Economy

I average 27 mpg on my daily commute. The highest I've averaged on a full tank was 30.8 mpg, and the lowest I've gotten so far was 25.2 mpg after a long day of hitting local canyon roads and being stuck in SoCal's typical stop-and-go traffic. I hit 300+ miles to a full tank of gas. Unfortunately, I do visit gas stations too often because I average at least 300 miles every 2.5 days! If I had to guess, I think I drive 60% highway/40% city, but as some of you know, even highway in SoCal means being stuck in traffic, so it's not the same highway mileage that a person living in a less populated area will experience.

Reliability

12k miles in, I've only needed an oil change.

I'm going to follow Toyota's recommended maintenance plan. 12k miles isn't a lot until you consider that I've put all of those miles on my car from February until now. In Dec and January, I only put 500 miles on the odometer because I had my wife's old Toyota Matrix to daily. Now I daily my 86 and I've been racking the miles up too quick for comfort.

Long Term Goals

Just as my dad has done with his first brand new vehicle purchase (a 1989 Toyota pickup that he bought in 1988), I plan to keep my car forever. I've even named her Tiana because, like the Disney character, she's my black princess (😅)!

As far as mods go, I think Toyota/Subaru engineers made the car perfect handling-wise, but the torque dip is an annoyance. I intend to get a tune and UEL header in a few months as I hear this combo gets rid of the torque dip as much as possible without going FI. I also want to lower the car just a bit to get rid of the hideous stock wheel gap. Coilovers would be nice, but I will likely just go for the TRD lowering springs since they come with a warranty and keep the amazing stock handling without requiring adjustments.

Sometime in 2020, I want to get the car wrapped to protect the paint + have a unique color.

The longest of long term plans is to supercharge it.

I don't intend to daily this car for too long. I have been looking at cheap beaters, like a Toyota Matrix XRS or older Honda Civic Si, to daily and avoid putting unnecessary miles on my baby.

Closing Thoughts

I know the Twins are one of those cars where, once you drive one, you either really love them or completely hate them. It's all dependent on how you feel about the lack of straight line thrill. I was willing to deal with the slow acceleration based on the 86's attractive appearance, comfort for a sports car, fuel efficiency, low cost of insurance, reliability and the most important factor of all: fun on twisty roads. After owning sportbikes for many years and a couple of S2000's in the past, I couldn't overlook handling. It's cool to accelerate from 0-60 in under 5 seconds, but if the car doesn't have incredible handling, I can't see myself owning it. I have driven some powerful cars, but the best handling ones are beyond my level of affordability. The 86 offers the handling I want, and though it lacks power, it will be added soon enough when I opt for a supercharger. I'm happy with my purchase.

If Toyota and Subaru make the second gen Twins just as fun to drive as the 86, maybe I'll someday own a second gen alongside Tiana, but I don't intend to let my car go for anything. This car rejuvenated my love for driving.

By Design: 2020 Toyota Supra Styling Analysis

Let me quote something I wrote back in 2014 about the car that would become the precursor to Toyota’s new Supra—the FT-1 concept:

“In many ways, this car is a mess. An intriguing and attractive mess, yes, but a mess all the same. Lines don’t flow very well, details don’t really work, there are conflicting lines and surfaces, and there’s no coherent mechanical plan behind the non-running concept car seen in Detroit [at the 2014 auto show]. But go back to the 50 words in the preceding and note the one that counts: attractive.”

For all its oddities and awkwardness, the FT-1’s styling exercise appealed to a wide range of observers, including the most important one, Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Toyota who pushed the concept to production five years later. Our own omniscient Georg Kacher told us long ago Toyota was working with BMW on a joint-venture sports car. So instead of what I described five years ago as “a three-dimensional sketch,” which is all the FT-1 was, we now have a reasonably priced GT car that’s still a mess stylistically. And still very attractive.

So let’s look at why this basic five-year-old design is so appealing, despite the conflicts and confusion that definitely still exist in today’s Supra. Conflicts, it should be noted, that did not exist in the last A80 model of the Supra series (1993–2002), which was so sleek and well resolved that it was slightly boring. (I also seem to remember it was a little hard to move off dealer lots without financial incentives toward the end of its commercial life.) While that Supra was very nice, it lacked visual character or aggressiveness, which this A90 has in spades. Toyota’s Calty design team in Southern California infused the FT-1 with a lot of competition references. Those—and a few more—remain in the Supra. The brilliantly innovative outside mirror mounting scheme and what I called “the superb and imaginative cockpit” have been removed, presumably by the perpetually present bean counters who insist on economical mediocrity in car companies all over the world.

Despite the cost-saving simplifications imposed by practical reality, like suppressing the glass cover for the engine at the back of the long hood, plenty of drama remains. The Supra sports details like the double-bubble roof and a pair of big-bore, chromed exhaust pipes that supplant the overstyled outlets on the concept; the wheels are simpler and stronger-looking, and some of the excesses—the humped-up rear spoiler comes to mind here—have happily been retained. This is not a watered-down concept. Instead, it’s a producible version of a strong, controversial, and much-appreciated idea that resonated with a wide range of worldwide observers.

One of the intangible but vital aspects of a car’s total visual character is its ability to make you want—no, not just want, but fervently desire—to drive it. From the Detroit auto show feedback in 2014 and 2019, we’d say Toyota has a real winner on its hands.

1. The overhanging nose continued to the base plane on the FT-1, and its retention on this version with a big air intake below it recalls the first swept-wing jet fighter, the North American F-86 Sabre.

2. The slit-like inward extension of the headlamp opening carries through intact from the concept car, a nice visual feature unique to this model.

3. The hood remains quite high well past the front edges of the tires, largely because of European pedestrian safety standards. Then it bends downward to the remainder of the FT-1’s “coffin nose.”

4. The cowl is intriguing in that it is quite flat and straight in the center, dropping off in a generous radius at the outer edges.

5. One of the elements that I suspect most observers like is the double-bubble roof with its reduced frontal area channel through the central roof, where no headroom is needed inside.

6. One of the multiple visual mismatches is the quick-dropping upper window line and the very dissimilar humped-up roof profile.

7. A curious body detail I don’t recall ever having seen anywhere else is a separate piece of door skin forming the (nonfunctional) rear side air inlet, with a frank panel joint line running forward and down to the bottom of the door.

8. A black sill piece starts just behind a section of the fender that makes a visual connection with the painted bottom of the front fender ahead of the wheel opening. It then flows back into yet another F1-like trapezoidal fin for a total of six along the bottom of the body.

9. There’s a lot of complex surface action along the lower body side, with this crease dropping into a line beneath the actual door cut and continuing into the wheel opening.

10. … trapezoidal vertical fin that adheres to the lower corner of the fender.

11. What appears to be an F1-style front wing is actually of a piece with the black lower wing that turns up at its end to make a race car-like …

12. This quite direct intake for the radiator makes more sense than trying to control the flow from the sides toward a central cooling core.

1. The Supra’s forward-facing indent that turns and becomes an outlet looks good and provides a bit of detail to the driver’s eye.

2. Headlamp presentation is extremely well done and very strong graphically.

3. This is a nonfunctional vent (Toyota says it may be used in the future), but the shapes all around it are handsome and nicely modeled.

4. This slit extending the headlamp opening inward is especially effective visually for identification.

5. What appear to be race car front wings are actually of a piece with the black base plate for the front. Altogether the front-end graphics are very well done.

6. That the main air intake is straightforward and looks like what it is evokes a sigh of relief. The blunt painted column of the FT-1 was not practical, but I’d feared something Lexus-horrible here.

7. Keeping the entire upper surface treatment of the FT-1 was admirable, and it’s well integrated to the design.

1. The overdone humped-up spoiler was retained for the production design. Good. Distinction is a positive value on an extroverted design.

2. A lockable gas cap door is preferable to a racing-oriented quick-connect fixture, as racers don’t have to worry about fuel pilfering as the drivers of road cars must.

3. Notice that the forward edge of the (nonfunctional) hot air outlet is above the rear, aiding in dynamic scavenging. It’s a nicely thought-out detail.

4. The little kink in the painted surface separates the sill piece that runs along the bottom of the body into a third trapezoidal fin per side. Excessive, perhaps, but effective visually.

5. The joint line for the add-on door skin piece becomes a design element in itself.

6. You get the impression that the spokes stick out more than necessary, increasing the risk of curb damage.

7. We have seen arced side markers like these on other cars. A direct, simple, and effective solution, they do no visual harm.

8. This little crease derives from the rising line that begins in the front fender side and sags down to a point about a fifth of the way along the bottom of the door.

9. As California hot-rodders showed back in the ’30s, nothing says power quite as boldly and bluntly as shiny, big-bore exhaust pipes. These are perfect for the Supra.

10. Little fins on the rear underside make you think of F1 diffusers, as does the trapezoidal light box in the center of the black mass.

About the FT-1 I said, “The best part of the car is the interior, which is seriously thought out, beautifully made, and extremely satisfying to be in.” About the Supra, I’m afraid I must say that this execution is so boringly gray and sedanlike that it should not be in a sports car at all. There’s nothing of the concept car in it, and the lack of color is deadly. (Toyota does offer a red interior for the Supra as well, depending on spec.)

1. The instrument cowl is just OK, but no more than that.

2. The round airbag cover is Avalon-boring.

3. Between these two joints on the steering wheel rim, Toyota should have made the leather red, as on the FT-1. Red leather is available on the Absolute Zero White and Nocturnal Black Launch Editions, but even then, the wheel is far from the dynamic piece fitted to the concept car.

4. The sedan-style screen is as uninspiring as the rest of the interior.

5. This red stripe on the door panel is the only color other than the seat-belt release buttons. What were they thinking?

There’s no way around it—the original concept interior was vastly superior to what has been accepted for production. At least Toyota could have left us the red.

1. Indenting the vertical slab across the tail for license plates helps by modulating surfaces that I said “really don’t make sense” in our April 2014 By Design on the FT-1.

2. The decklid is minuscule, and loading the trunk would be a chore at best. With 10.1 cubic feet of cargo space, not that much will go into it.

3. The chamfered counterbore aspect of the exhaust pipes is much more effective than just a straight cut-off piece of pipe.

4. This slot doesn’t have any function other than appearance at present, but it’s consistent with the rest of the design.

5. This lamp feature is definitely part of the aggressive performance aura of the Supra.
