Generally, Toyota doesn't innovate. You can take a look at their product line for evidence of this. For example, the GS 350 AWD has had the same drivetrain since 2006. That's 15 years. The Toyota Sequoia and Tundra has been unchanged since 2007. That's 14 years. Can you imagine BMW continuing to sell the E90 to this day? I'm sure the E90 would be very reliable, but would it be desirable and relevant? I think Toyota has become so risk-adverse that they can never really be a technology leader ever again.
