You didn't watch the vid, it's the "Model T of our time" because of the leaps in manufacturing they made, not because of the price or affordability. They can still make a profit on it which for an electric car is insane, every single manufacturing process has been thought through to be as profitable and clever as possible.
Speaking of engine sizes, has anyone noticed how big the diesel VW engines are. Like 2.0 turbodiesel making 110hp. Seriously! is this america! Now with twin turbos, car manafacturers can get 240hp from 2.0 diesel. That's more than double the specific output!
True, but for how long? An engine making 110hp is, by definition, working less hard and with less strain on its components than a similar engine making 240hp from the same displacement. I would personally be concerned about reliability with a 200+hp/liter diesel.
JLR and VW Bi-TDI with identical power/torque outputs. 110hp is quite small for a 2009 Golf turbodiesel with common rail etc.
It's surprising that it was named Toyota, although that might've been changed to Toyota around the time. Also, where was it by the way? (No, do not answer with America, because I already know.)

Why do I find it strange that Nissan decided to separate the Skyline and GT-R models in the 2000s, when they weren't genetically fully connected through the Skyline gens, because the GT-Rs were made after the Prince era/generation? I guess maybe Nissan wanted to give the Skyline a continuous hiatus from GT-R to be able to have a Infiniti G-Series in their Japan-only lineup for a while. That's my theory, but it's just my perspective.
