For me at least, I think Toyota has lost the plot in physical appearance (looks) for sure... the more i see it the more i dislike it... The only thing positive going for it at the moment is its interior. its not quite keeping up-to competitors either in terms of comfort, technology, power, appearance etc. i mean drum brakes with leaf springs (that's ancient), also 7-14% power drop between Auto and Manual gear set-ups (come-on for crying out loud)?!?!? on top of all this if you add mega price tag that it will hold - just doesn't justify to buy it purely for the sake of Logo.
It seems like a poor effort to make it a dual purpose vehicle i.e trying to portray it as a family oriented vehicle while also trying to keep it rugged and hard core.
I mean dont get me wrong, im a huge Toyota fan myself hence no offence to fellow fans but this just doesn't do for me. It has lost its Crown.
