At the outset, Toyota made some people funky, then persuade SUV buying people thru busuness-brain-power-game policy so that, people waited for 24th aug, 2009 to buy this seminaked(read stipped versoin)suv. But all their waiting went in vain. Toyota, unlike Japanese personality presented a vehicle of worth 19 lakhs without basic ingredients i.e. auto transmission, disc brake at the rear and petrol. I feel sorry for those sycophants Indians who praise such a move by a foreign company.Capt. Manas R. Swain-Astrologer-9937145251.Bhubaneswar.

This is not an SUV, it a bodied version of the HILUX pick-up. Very uncomfortable and control-less vehicle. Paying 18 lakhs is a waste for that.

its same as endeavour which is basically a truck converted into an suv. but the price is too steep.these vehicle should be in the range of scorpio and safari. exposed sparewheel on the rear door would have enhanced the look as true rugged all terrain vehicle.
