"And then the funny little fact that we all noticed with the gas bottles, they're all sold red. They're Mazda red. And it's because this is built at the joint facility with Mazda. So they share a paint shop. It's sold red on a Corolla cross and you can get Toyota's Cypress, which is a nice medium darkness screen. You can get that on the CX 50. That's good. So everything. Yeah, all right. So moving on. This is an review, but some other huge news. The 2026 center, which you and I have talked about before, maybe they're only sedan going forward was unveiled."

Porsche 911

"So I think I think even GTS or maybe they'll go crazy with the new model and they'll actually have like turbo. Look like a little turbo like the 911's sort of entry engine in there because that would be easy swap.
