Vehicle may vary from image shown.


this car has every single package that is available, and yet still costs fully loaded what other luxury utes cost when they are stripper cars  

The new V6 makes 216 hp.  This car probably takes about 10 seconds, or about 9, to get to  60.  I still think its a great deal for a luxury ute.

Your thoughts?

Compare it to entry-luxes (RX330 level) rather than luxury (GX470 level) and the $46K price tag doesn't look so hot.

I really don't understand why people pay this much for friggin SUVs when you can be more comfortable for far less in an A4 or 3-series sedan or wagon.

Whatever it is, for 46 grand, I'd rather have something in a wagon with a stick.  Two WRXs!

A Land Cruiser is a lot more expensive.  Almost 14K more starting price than the V6 Disco.

More standard features though. And I thought an improvement in interior quality was worth $20K easily?  <_<

Too slow and too expensive, no thanks! Does this have the 4.0l pushrod V6 or the 3.0l Duratec?
