I think Toyota has some catching up to do with their Turbo engines. Turbo lag was a bit of a complaint on the IS200T and NX200T when they first came out. It was around the time when Lexus got rid of the 2.5L V6. Now with Toyota getting rid of the V8 and switching to a Turbo 6, that engine has been getting a lot of bad press and the reliability of that engine is shown to be poor.

BMW had some teething issues when they started mass turbo charging their line but that has been resolved and you can see that on the F8X and F3X platform and that only gets better on the G8X and G3X/G2X.

Since I dealt with Toyota Corporate a lot on my last car (Scion FR-S) (like 20+ service visits) due to reliability and warranty issues, I really hate the way they handle things. They would rather keep throwing money into fixing the car than buying the car back.

I got to know the Longo Toyota Service Director Paul Le Blanc, Service Manager Rob McGuire, and Shop Foreman Sam Walton quite well due to my last car.
