I own a 2008 Prado diesel and am very very happy with it. The problems I've had in 106,000 kms have been minor, and unlike certain brand European SUV's, have never been let down. Highlight has to be the Mericumbeen (or however you spell it !) Fire trail in NSW.
Anyway, enough of that. I'm depressed and very depressed that Toyota have inflicted yet another unattractive (to look at) Prado model on us. How can you have exaggerated rear wheel arches that don't match the front. And how can you have such an ugly front end with unnecessary curved bulges and hideous looking headlights & grill. Where are these designs coming from and why ?
The new Prado, now has to be one of the most ugly vehicles on the road and that includes road cars, SUV's and serious off roaders.
I cast my mind back to the 1980's when the Volvo's became so unattractive it became a joke to others if you owned one. They learn't their lesson as it was obvious they were losing sales. I mean if I updated to the new model, I just couldn't look at the thing in the garage every morning.
Sorry if I'm rehashing an old topic, however I was unable to find similar posts. I know other Prado owners are equally concerned when they want to update. Can the message get through to Toyota in Japan ? Perhaps the only way is for forums like this. So, what to other readers on this blog think ?
