I loved it when I first saw it too...did research for a bit unti I figured out what it was. When I found out that it was a midmarket toyota I knew it would get overproduced and I would start hating it. Well...that was 3 months ago (ish) and everytime I see one it still turns my head. Only seen enough to count on both hands though...and I live about a mile away from a Toyota dealership. They have had one for sale since they have been out. It was off their lot in 2 days. Of course, I am in tulsa...NOT miami, so we cater more to soccer moms, yuppies, and cowboys/rednecks (hella odd combo, I know)

considering their impetus/inspiration was the cruisers of old, I think the squareness if justified. That is like calling the SSR too round, despite the fact no one would dare call a '57 chevy pickup too rounded.

What? This:


You crazy!

Kpaske: Don't sweat it, I realize they don't really complement each other in the sense of picking up where one is lacking. I mean it more in the sense that to me, they are the two ideal vehicles. Since they are quite similar in functaionality, you can easily tell where my prefs are

Nfpgasmask: Never seen that toyota before, but it is hot...I think I just peed a little when I saw it
