2023 Toyota Crown Overview
Toyota Crown, a new high-riding sedan with the shape of a hatchback (though it has a conventional trunk), hybrid-only powertrains and truly funky styling. Toyota often plays it too safe with its new vehicles, so it's nice to see the company really swinging for the fences with the Crown.
t has been 50 years since Toyota last sold its Crown sedan in the U.S., but the model was introduced in Japan in 1955 as the Toyopet Crown. It has been Toyota's mainstream sedan there ever since, the choice of families, executives, taxi drivers, and police.
The 2023 Crown, now in its 16th generation, is back in the States as the three-trim, all-hybrid, all-wheel-drive, tall-roofed, fastback-styled four-door replacing the venerable Toyota Avalon sedan. It is almost the same size, inside and out, as the Honda Accord and Volkswagen Arteon sedans.
The Crown's tall roofline and high seating position have generated some debate. But there's no denying that it is eye-catching, especially in the optional two-tone color scheme available with the top Platinum trim.
By positioning the Crown as a premium model, Toyota is telling shoppers that this is a special vehicle, not to be confused with other midsize sedans. By offering two hybrid powertrains, one of them more performance-oriented, Toyota hopes the Crown will appeal to those seeking fuel efficiency and creature comforts as well as those hoping for a bit of twisty country road fun.
We found that generally, it succeeds but still falls short on driving excitement, even with the 340-horsepower hybrid system and adaptive suspension that come exclusively with the Platinum trim.
Competition in the non-luxury large sedan segment is almost gone. Three rivals — the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Nissan Maxima — are being discontinued in 2023. That leaves the Accord Hybrid and VW Arteon. Some shoppers might consider the Genesis G80, Audi A6, and Volvo S90 mild hybrids, all of which cost more and aren't likely to be cross-shopped with the Toyota Crown. Based on appearance and premium content, though, the Crown can proudly hold its head high in that crowd.
All the Platinum's performance enhancements come at a serious penalty to fuel economy. Toyota estimates this version of the Crown will return 27 mpg in combined driving — a fairly unimpressive figure compared to other sedans with non-hybrid powertrains. The current Avalon V6, for instance, produces a bit less power and has a 26 mpg combined estimate, as does the BMW 540i with its marginally less potent turbocharged inline-six. On paper, the Crown Platinum's powertrain seems heavy and overengineered without much benefit to the driver compared to other options.

Maxus, a name revived from the historic Leyland DAF Vans by SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation), has taken a bold step in the UK market by introducing the country's first electric pick-up truck, the Maxus T90 EV. This move not only diversifies the electric vehicle (EV) market but also tests the waters for electric commercial vehicles (CVs) in sectors traditionally dominated by internal combustion engine vehicles.

Divertida mente: Conduzida pelas emoções
Mergulhe na mente de Riley e descubra Divertida Mente, da Pixar, como você nunca viu nas telas. Este livro original traz histórias inéditas e novas ideias para o filme, já que cada capítulo conta uma versão diferente da história e é narrado por uma das emoções de Riley: Alegria, Nojinho, Medo, Raiva e Tristeza.
Como a maioria das pessoas, Riley, de onze anos, é guiada por suas Emoções: Alegria, Nojinho, Medo, Raiva e Tristeza. Tendo Alegria como a Emoção predominante, Riley sempre foi uma menina feliz. Ela adora sua casa em Minnesota, tem um ótimo relacionamento com a mãe e o pai, e vive para jogar hóquei com sua melhor amiga.
Mas quando Riley e seus pais atravessam o país e se mudam para São Francisco, seu mundo vira de cabeça para baixo e suas Emoções são abaladas.
Reviva o filme Divertida Mente pelos pontos de vista únicos de Alegria, Nojinho, Medo, Raiva e Tristeza. Eles compartilham o seu lado da história, além das lembranças nunca antes contadas.
O mundo de Riley nunca esteve tão cheio de emoção e confusão ― tanto por dentro quanto por fora!

Hera
In some ways I feel like the pandemic happened and while other people were baking banana bread, I was finding Greek mythology retellings. They are now some of my favourite books, which feels a little weird for me to be “saying” because for so long retellings weren’t something I was interested in. Within the Greek mythology retelling space, though, Jennifer Saint is an autobuy author for me now. I…

Twilight Out Of Focus Anime Review
(Spoilers Ae Included)
I'm just finishing up this sweet BL (Boys Love) anime. I'm very particular about the ones I watch I really like the cute and fluffier ones but this one caught my interest months ago when they first announced it...plus hello some really attractive guys in it as well. So it follows 3 different couples which I wasn't expecting that, and they were perfectly spaced between every couple episodes but you will see as it cycles back to Mao Tsuchiya and Hisashi Otomo. So lets take a look at each couple however before we do you need to know this BL is way more naughtier than most and although nothing specific is being showed I promise you will know they are doing stuff like some in depth sexy stuff.
Mao Tsuchiya and Hisashi Otomo
Oh these too are adorable from the very start and the reason I originally started the show. So you get to see Hisashi hasn't always had the best life and his first love was and adult teacher that really used him in so many ways and had no probably hitting him. The friendship you see budding between Mao and him is just precious and when Mao realizes he feels something for Hisashi was adorable as he begged him to practically choose him over his partner he already had. You could tell Hisashi had held back so much but the moment Mao showed he wanted him that was thats all it took for his walls to fall he wanted to love Mao and be in return. As you see them build this new life together without others knowing you see it more from Mao's side but its just too sweet I love them together over the other 2 couples on the show. When they have sex even Hisashi tries to be so gentle and sincere and you can tell he doesn't want to hurt Mao.
Jin Kikuchihara and Giichi Ichikawa
These two have a history they actually known each other since kids but didn't realize it til later. Ichikawa is always complaining and nothing is ever good enough until one day Jin kisses him. The he becomes this blushy boy around Jin. Now between these two Jin is my favorite but oh is he a naughty boy. He is more flirty and definitely once he realizes he is liked he goes out of his way to make Ichikawa squirm in his seat. When is brought in oh he is definitely the dominant boy. He has his genuine soft moments too but he really does love him and he loves him back. They are the ones that do fight alot in the light but when behind closed doors they have to be touching in some way. This is the couple you probably have never say it happening especially since they have very little in common but thats ok they are cute together still.
Rei Inaba and Shion Yoshino
This was a cute could but you almost didn't see it happening. Rei is hot but so hard to read and so many times you see Shion doing anything to catch his attention but you think in some points Rei doesn't care cause he doesn't show the emotion. That being said much slower progress but trust me when he realizes he wants Shion to be more you know it. He is one I can see never putting a label to them but still just wants him close even if he doesn't always know how to tell him. Honestly he is lucky Shion is all about showing his affection between these two it would be so hard not to like Shion the most. When it comes to sex Rei is so gentle you can tell with every kiss or touch he touches Shion like he is the most precious thing he never wants to break.
Honestly as long as you can get past it being a bit more adult natured then it is so worth a watch and I'm sure by the end you will find one if not all the couples you will like.

Worldwide Insurance Companies along with detailed information
Gathering a complete list of all insurance companies worldwide, along with detailed information about each, is a vast and complex task.

“Tell Me Straight” Lyrics (KR, 2023)
#I have to admit. I shut this off after about 30 seconds when I first heard it#because the reverb/auto tune on Keith’s voice and the generic beat track are both terrible#they still are#but I went back after hearing that reviewer say it was the 2nd best song on the album/best lyrically#and realized…this is the Charlie song#I mean just look at the first verse#‘do we have something or nothing at all/just tell me straight’#after everything they went through with Charlie keeping Keith in the dark about how sick he was#‘you got me high and it’s quite a long fall’ when he used to say Charlie gave him the ability to fly#‘how do we finish? how do we start? … how do we meet? how do we part?’#because now he knows their ending and their beginning despite insisting for years that Charlie would never die on him or fail him#‘everyone is asking questions/I’ve got one or two’ when the question he’s asked most frequently is about Charlie#‘just need a little time to clear the mind’ after he said he could only mourn Charlie ‘in increments’ because otherwise it was ‘too much’#and ‘play me a song/life’s moving too fast’ is depressingly self evident#the rolling stones#charlie watts#keith richards#old married band#lyrics
