I wonder if toyota had named it Treker (or something else), it would have been received differently around here.


If Toyota had called it the new "Trekker" or "Stout", etc... I'd have probably shouted accolades....

But not a Cruiser... Too transparent...

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! For one thing, the motor is a big departure from the historic 120K mile-before-rebuild Chevy knockoff pushrod six that got terrible mileage, terrible power, and everybody replaced with a Chevy smallblock.

How dare they. 250K mile+ 4.0 V6 VVTi my eye. Waaay too much of a break with tradition. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
