The most ugly thing i've seen since the 200 series

The new patrol is going to be the same

Japanese styling never ceases to amaze me.

All those people who live in there bubble worlds, will be wetting there selfs at this thing, with one of those on the drive they will be top kids on the block again, and in there own minds belive they are driving something special. But fail to relise that every other bubble world person will be driving one too.....

Actually I was thinking the Ssanyong designer for the rear end.
Also Ala Pajero it looks like a lot of plastic on the rear . For a soccer mom drive it prob won't break

yep, im gunna be sick. The 200 series is a better looking car. I agree it looks like a 200 series and a jeep commander had relations

and that was the offspring. The current shape is better looking.

We can comment on the style - or lack thereof - but we shall have to wait and see if it has better off road ability than the last one. Toyota reckon its fantastic, but then they would. But are they right? We won't know till it gets out there and people start to drive it.

The person who said that ARB was going to have a few worries with the bumper bar (It was Chucaro, I think) is absolutely right! I wonder what ARB do with it, or will they just throw up their hands in despair and not bother?

I use a Turbo Diesel one for work and its a good soccer mums car but useless as a 4x4.
I am convinced that my whipper snipper has more torque

Just proves they really are a chicks shopping trolley, i dont like the look of any of the toyo range.

Looks pretty fugly, i actualy dont mind the look of the older model though. I have one, its not to bad a truck, drives nice enough on road, seats are crap compared to my old D2 though. It was the wifes decision to get rid of the disco in favour of the prado even though i drive it everyday

To make ours look reasonable and a little less soccer mumish, also gain some capability off road we had to lift it, increase the tyre size, get a decent front bar that gives some clearance. Its also got a snorkell and LF XGTs, we got a after market exhaust and chip to get a little more poke out of it as well. Other then a slight weep in the radiator ive recently noticed its been pretty reliable, its nearly done 100,000km and been in our family since new, most of those Ks where done by me.

This is it - feels weird posting this on AULRO hahahh
