Best thing about the photo is the little kid ridding the bike or sitting there or whatever he is doing just not caring he is in the picture

WHAT! the 80 is an awesome series... personally way better then the 60 series thats for sure, but the 40 is still the best series!
That RR had me fooled too...and I own a P38...
Fugly! : (
I can't believe they did not incorporate the extractor vents on the back (D ? ) pillar. They have had vents like that since the 55 series, I believe. My first opinion is that I don't really like the restyle, but usually it takes some time to warm up to a new model. That being said, from these pics it DOES LOOK LIKE A SUPERSIZED PREVIOUS BODIED HIGHLANDER...THAT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT BY ANY MEANS !!! Gut feeling here is that I am going to jump ship and get a Range Rover S/C. But I better wait to see this thing in person.

Huh
Those don't have a solid front axle.
They don't? What do they have?
IFS. I agree, 60-series can't be topped in the rugged, no-nonsense, utility-based, "curves are for ladies" Cruisers.

What I think is that Toyota has always had "style", something that distinctly separates their models from the mainstream manufacturers, however what I see with this is just yet another mainstream "looking" vehicle that blends in with the crowd of everything else, even the back looks like a VW Toureg or Mitsubishi???
I hate to say it but I don't think that the bold rugged lines of yesteryear have much of a chance in the future... that's why I have a good stockpile of the true iron... Vintage Cruisers forever!!!

Actually after studying the pics...honestly, once the Japanaese aftermarket comes out with fender flares....and they will, it will be very cool. I never liked the 100 series because they had no or very slim fender flares. But numerous pics I have seen in Japan with 40-50 MM fender flares on the 100 series and it's a whole new aggressive look. I'm sure with wide flares ithe new Cruiser will look much better. And you have to admit, 381 h.p.........that's incredible.
