Really??? See I think the interior looks like it's from the FJ, but the outside(at least in those kind of iffy pics) looks like PURE Highlander and/or Rav4... THe rear end still looks a bit like the old 4th Gen to me but I was hoping for some steps ala Nissans Xterra. I think those are good ideas and I wish they'd taken that cue.
Otherwise, I agree with everyone's enthusiasm, I''m STOKED that it stays SRA, and having a lever actuated T-case may be going backwards in the "coolness" category, but for us folks that use these trucks in the dirt it's a step in the right direction eh
Personaly I think that just like the 200 it's gonna have to grow on me. I do however like the Tundra/Sequoia treatment (although as I said I think it looks like a Highlander), that's something to aspire to be in the company of. I think that this 4Runner will continue on with the Lineage's reputation.
It's funny because right as I was looking at this thread the GF turned on 'Top Chef' in wich they drive Highlander's to-from their challenges and the store. from the front I could have sworn that they were driving the exact press vehicle that C/D took pics of it's so simmilar from that angle.
