I kinda like dthe Gen I Tacos

I don't have any info on this, but you're probably right. The plant where they build these is co-owned by General Motors and Toyota.

Market efficiency my friend. Gotta keep costs down in order to compete for the customers and the capital. Gotta be cheap to sell to the customers, othrewise they buy Mazda Sundowners. Gotta make a profit for the shareholders, otherwise their money grows legs and walks over to Microsoft.

What we have here is....a failure to communicate. Some men you just cant reach...which is the way he wants it. Well he gets it. And I dont like that anymore than you do...

*Theres a reason my last purchase was an 87'4Runner. It still looked like a Toyota and acts like a Toyota. The way Toyotas should be! Removable top, classic sound of the Toyota starter thats recognizable across the largest parking lots etc. Plus it was cheap enough to warrant the purchase. By the looks of things to come I may be able to afford looking into one of these around 2010.
**Greg- try the edit post option...no need to 3peat! lol unless of course that is the way you want it...well then you get it. And who cares if I dont like it anymore than you do... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

3-peating?

You reading the threads flat? I's replying to 3 individual people here- no need to edit a damn thing.

Flat? You bet, only thing I know. Havent experienced anything "moundular" for some years now. And besides...what I hear flat is in. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> Prolly gonna git my assets readjusted when I get home...but thats the price a mans gotta pay I suppose.
Will be up in Port Townsend Saturday...stupid Valentines day anyways. At least with this marriage stuff all I have to do is get in the truck and drive. She makes the arrangements and packs my underwear for me.

i'm with brian on this one. i want a capable mini truck, but it seems that i'm gonna have to move to some other country to get one. it's a damn shame too, considering that north america gets screwed when we have the best wheeling in the world! oh well, guess you can't have it all.

i don't know why the tacoma needs to be bigger, we already have the tundra...

This truck is pretty obviously not intended to get dirty. For those of you who didn't read the article, that truck will outcorner a 350z. That in my book is damn impressive for a truck.

This is not a truck that was designed to be lifted or have huge mud tires strapped to it. It's for the street, plain and simple.

While it might be a bit underpowered to compete with the Lightnings and Ram's, its a still a toyota and a damn nice looking one at that.

Thats almost as ugly as the Avalanche. I hope its just
a prototype, that won't get marketed.

Well, I didn't mean to discuss that particular model of the Tacoma. I only brought that up to show what the 4x4 version will basicly look like and how big it will be. The TAcoma XRunner and the new Tacoma 4x4 are apples and oranges.
