Honda wasn't too happy about me snapping pix of their EP hatchback "campain" few years ago

 

Looks like a Blundra to me....damn Toyota, don't make me sell mine and buy a Furd...

 

sell the pictures.

 

haha

 

nice spy shots

&lt;--- waiting for the day he gets to see a new concept on the road

 

I saw those cars going down Carson and Normandie the other week.

 

cool

&lt;== Still wants to see the new Honda truck in person. My manager said we're going to get some in this year

 

The front shot kinda looks like a Caddy truck, Ahh what do I know?

Interesting, betcha they'll offer a V8

&lt; Wonders why Yoshi and Mike see this before me when I work at Toyota

 

I love trucks.

I think every guy should own at least one.

 

very coo pics. That's a very nice looking truck

 

yoshi, did you get to hear what they sounded like?

Not sure bout da V8 but, da X-Runner has a V6 with plenty of power in reserve. To bad the truck is almost the same size and weight of the current Tundra

mikehonda: who never knows what to expect when hang'n wit da yoshta!

Just speculation but I'm guessing the X-Runner is gonna be built on the same platform as the current 4-Runner. The V6 offered in the 4-Runner V6 (245 hp @ 5,200 rpm/282 lb.-ft) puts out a bit more power than what they're showing for the X-Runner. But if it does end up being the same platform I betcha they'll offer a V8 maybe not the first year but a couple years into the production run.

4-Runner sidenote: My wife and I went and drove a V8 4-Runner a couple weekends ago. We both loved it I was thinking "man this would be great to tow the R" and she was probably thinking "3rd row seating we can have 5 kids". hehehe

 

According to my toyota rep...."The Tundra will soon be the one of the smallest trucks we offer. Can you say full sized?"

Watch out Chevy, Ford, and Dodge.....also hinted about a "bigger" V8 on the way.

Louie~ who also works for toyota......oh what a feeling.

 

Toyota V8 is so nice and smooth. Lots of torque for towing. TRD came out with a SC for the V8 and it makes ridiculous power, while maintaining factory warranty. Some guy in the 4Runner board has one installed:

I think the 3rd row seating is poorly designed.... Toyota put it in there just because some people were complaining for not having it (well at least Toyota listens). It takes up a LOT of trunk space.

 

awesome

those look like classic chevy tail lights...reminds me of the SS pickup...
