Hehe, things only an American would say!

-> Reading this as a European with one small electric car, the idea that two V8 vehicles could be considered the perfect vehicle choice is quite out there!

The Toyota/Lexus 4.7L and 5.7L engines are pretty much the two most reliable V8s ever put into production vehicles. The Chevrolet 6.0 is probably the only other V8 that would possibly come close to the reliability afforded by the Toyota/Lexus V8s.

Toyota and Lexus engines still require considerable regular and proactive service and repairs to last the hundreds of thousands of miles the steel is capable of.

This means, seals, gaskets, shocks, etc will all still wear out over time like every vehicle.

If you don't listen to the manufacturer's recommendation and change your fluids far more often, especially the "lifetime" fluids, almost any vehicle will last much longer.

Yeah, but why do you need a 4+ liter engine in a family car?

[Der_Einzige]

The current V8 in the Chevy C8 corvette (I think it’s a 5.5) is also regarded as extremely reliable. Unfortunately, the transmission is not.

We pay almost $10 per gallon of Euro 95.

[dontlaugh]

That’s 4-6x more litres than car needs.
