Thoughts on the Next Gen Prado

As is so often the case with these threads people start to describe what they want and it has remarkable similarity to a 200 series or a 70 series or a cross between the 2

As R4ndll mentioned the market that Toyota are catering for is the crowd that want all the do dads and buttons and what not, that's not for me hence no plans for another Prado unless the next one is remarkable in some way.

Biggest change I think they need to make is to make them look better, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the current Prado is super mega fugly IMO, but that seems to be a common trend with many new vehicles.

Based on the 'weekend warrior' configuration request, you'd think the 200 Series GX would sell like hot cakes. Why is it 90% on the road are GXLs and the other 10% are Saharas...

Re the GX GXL mix for 200 series on the road, I think there are a few less airbags, and the hose out interior is off putting for must purchasers.

As far as the next prado goes, it just needs a new power plant, I'm pinning my hopes to the fact that is dousing the hilux is losing sales fast to the ranger etc. So this might push the R&D boys to bring out a 6 cylinder. Side from that I reckon they are spot on. The big tanks are great, but anything over 130 l will give most of us ample range.
