Reviving a nameplate that hasn\'t been used in the US since 1972, the Toyota Crown is the Japanese automaker\'s attempt to bridge the gap between sedans and SUVs. But the question remains: is that something drivers are looking for? We share our first impressions of the Crown\'s unique styling, hybrid powertrain, and whether it\'s a suitable replacement for the dearly departed Toyota Avalon. We also discuss a viewer\'s issues with trying to fix their car\'s software issues and glitches with a dealership mechanic.
