Why Buy? | 2017 Toyota 4Runner Review
Motor1 Executive Editor Seyth Miersma takes Toyota’s oldschool 4Runner for a spin to see how it holds up in 2017.
For more Toyota 4Runner: https://www.motor1.com/toyota/4Runner/
As-tested price: $40,220
Some might call the 2017 Toyota 4Runner an anachronism: A vehicle built during a time when SUVs were more like trucks, less like cars, and far less-well suited for the mainstream than today.
Those descriptors are true, but they cut both ways. Today, if you’re looking for a rugged, simple SUV with true off-road ability and with the potential to carry five (or more), people, well, you’re looking at a short list. With body-on-frame construction, a solid rear axle, and a rough powertrain, the 4Runner is either exactly what you want in a vehicle, or nothing like it.
I couldn’t help feeling somewhat charmed by Toyota’s aging off-roader – who doesn’t love something this purposeful? And while our Why Buy? series is designed to evaluate vehicles within the context of their current day competitive sets, I often found myself offering a bit of praise for the old girl, despite obvious weaknesses.
Watch the whole video above, and don’t miss out on future episodes, every Thursday, on our YouTube channel.

2017-opel-crossland-x-trailer
The Crossland X features the skilled craftsmanship and harmony of shapes and forms typical of Opel design. Signature cues characteristic of the Rüsselsheim brand include the bold grille and the winglets that proudly embrace the Opel lightning flash emblem; the characteristic wing graphics of the headlights; and the blade along each side of the body.
The surfaces are fluid and sculptural, with crisp lines of precision, while the chrome trimmed, two-tone floating roof enables a high level of personalization. The high-quality of the overall execution is displayed in the high-tech full LED headlamps, while the horizontal lines that flow around the body combine with the raised taillights to make the Crossland X look wider.

The 2021 BMW M3 Competition is the fastest, most intense version of the car to date. BMW threw its best tech at it with a new drift scoring system and updated versions of the M drive modes. Our test car came in at a completely bonkers $93,000. Is that too much for an M3? We think so.

Almost 50 years ago to the day, the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon and marked man’s first footsteps on another celestial body. In the half century since, our exploration into Space has continued and automakers have actually been involved in some crucial and interesting ways. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing we’re going to talk about the cool ways that car companies have inserted themselves in to the space race, since Neil and Buzz touched down on Tranquillity Base on July 20th 1969.
