Great looking truck!

Is it just me, or does it look a bit too "girly" and a bit too complex.

For me a Hilux is all about know that should you want to you can drive across Africa and - should something go wrong - a bloke in a mud hut in the Central African Republic can bash it back into shape and it will keep on running forever...

Looks a bit like a Nissan Navara too - no a good thing imho.

I think the reason that they are getting more rounded is to be pedestrian friendly so if the vehicle hits one they have more chance of survial but saying that i wouldnt like to be hit by a vehicle that has high tensil steel body panels

Still prefur the old boxey looking version

I thought it looked like a Prado chopped into a ute.

It will be fun fixing one after a frontal collision with 4.5mm clearance between door and body panels :ffs:

And why wont they release it here until later? And from what I've read (if I've read it right) they don't even have heaters in them yet
