I presume a price reduction?
LoL. We all wish that.
Ok after researching a bit I think I'm incorrect. If they do replace the FE I think it would be more of a Platinum LC trim. Basically, the FE without it saying First Edition.
That's cool thanks for the potential info. Maybe the round headlights will be another option too. Also, kind of fits with their lineup since 4Runner will have like 8 trim packages with different drive train options.
Interesting take on the 1958 being a special edition model. I've not heard that before. Makes me doubt it, but time will tell.
On one of the FB groups yesterday someone posted screenshots of the online catalog for Japan. Their base model has square reflector LED lights, the top model has the square projector lights our mid-trim gets (see below, with Google Translate version). I've seen those reflector lights on some other region's LCs as well. I'm guessing that's what the US base model will have next year.
Changeover will be sometime in November.
I wouldn’t say the round lights are poor performance, they work quite well in projecting light down the road (both low and high beam). The odd thing is that they have a big notch in the low beam, particularly the drivers side, presumably to not blind opposing drivers. They are adjustable, not sure if this moves the notch or not too.
