Which is why only a looney buys the first model year!!! I learned my lesson when young with a 1954 Mercury, the first year with the OHV V8. I have spent a lifetime trying to forget the experience.
Still have dreams about the '58 Studebaker Golden Hawk, though..WHY did I sell that!!!?
Heads-up - watch out for the next latest and greatest - steer and brake by wire. Not for me, thank you very much. Don't want to be around when those cheap connectors corrode and short out (or open ...).

Toyota learns from "lesser cars". If you drive a 1989 Cressida, you'll know where Lexus got it's refinement. They constantly refine parts and tecnologies and use the resulting products in newer models.
Case in point is the Prius. They didn't start out with a Lexus hybrid (which is coming). They started out with a econobox.
They totally respect the luxury car buyer by supplying them with a car that has the benefit of proven parts and technologies. Put another way - Lexus owners are never beta testers.
I must live in the projects, compared to some of you folks.
A 1992 Thunderbird, and a 2000 Taurus.
Never left me anywhere but the place I wanted to go.
Saved a fortune...spent it all this Christmas.
