mabrodis said:I don't understand the idea of not buying a first-model-year vehicle. What duds did Toyota make that make everyone here so leary about buying the first year of a vehicle?
The '95 Taco (I think that was the first year it was officially called the Tacoma)..a great truck, the '96 4runner (first year with the 3.4L V6) a very solid vehicle...the '04 4-Runner, totally new, again a great vehicle...the '91 80-series, no major problems, solid, etc...the fairly major change to the 80-series in '93...certainly nothing wrong with those...the '98 100-series...yeah what a total POS those turned out to be..
I don't plan on buying one right off but it has nothing to do with thinking the first model year won't be good, or there are some problems Toyota hasn't addressed...I'm sure there will be a TRD version, and lots of aftermarket support, etc...I can't recall a vehicle that Toyota released that was really a piece of junk...
Bacis said:Will most likely not buy because:
1. Interior is ugly and cheap. I couldn't believe how crappy it was seeing it at the LA auto show. The plastic sides of the cargo area were already scratched to hell and peeling on the "show car".
Bacis said:It just has too many flaws for me to consider it over the Xterra.

and I ever buy the first year of a new product, however, if they give me big money for an FJ40 trade in ....
