6th gen Speculation Thread

You're probably right. I'm not arguing what caused the new regulations. I'm just saying that diesels are a lot less appealing now.

 

I'm not crazy about the new Supra, either. I did like the old ones, though (MKII, MKIII, and MKIV mostly). They're not everyone's cup of tea, though.

I think the GR86 is probably the best looking vehicle they've produced since the 90's. I haven't driven one, so I can't comment on performance. Based on specs, I feel like I'd want to add a turbo.

Overall, I think if I were looking for a sports car, I'd be looking elsewhere. The new Z looks pretty good, IMO.

 

Why would I take that personally? I had no part in the design or build of any of these. I think they all would be fun to drive, and I think they all look nice.

 

this but make the backend flat and square like the GX. Also use the same window and proportions for the ABC pillars like the GX & LC 250. I’m telling you we know the drive train, front end (bc it’ll look like the Tacoma), and the sides. It’s just the backend that we aren’t sure of.

 

Make the c pillar more vertical, and put the rear glass in line from the tail light to the tip of that spoiler and its probably not far off

 

Spotted in Az off Greenway Ave and 55th Ave

 

YUP. So stoked

 

There was a good point in a video tonight , why are they hiding that rear window so well? Removable top maybe???

 

Video where?

 

It's the same photo posted , I just meant they were talking about what I stated why is the back window covered .

 

What is with the low res pics of these spy shots? Starting to feel like alien photos. Lol

Auto guys do a lot of testing out in deserts of Socal, especially Death Valley area. See the test mules every time I've been. Maybe they going to head that way.

 

There is a Toyota proving grounds in Whitman Arizona, about 13 or 14 miles from where these pictures were taken. I used to see back in 05-06 The redesigned Tundra driving around here, and Sequoia all cladded up. I worked in Surprise Az we used to see test vehicles all the time. I live right down the street from where these pics were taken. I will be keeping my eyes out for this vehicle for sure.

 

Back window is covered because you can't know yet whether it still rolls down or not...

If based on GX and/or LC, I'm going to say no? I don't think either of those roll down

 

Sorry I mean back side window

 

It’s such a useful feature. It would be a step back in my opinion. It’s a very 4Runner thing, they shouldn’t get rid of it.

 

This would be an acceptable reason to lose the roll down rear window.

The 4Runner has shared a platform with the GX/Prado for years, though. And, neither of those have had a roll down rear window.

Agreed. I really hope they keep it. Although, if they don't, it will be easier not to buy one.

 

The body does look smaller! That's a good thing because the wheelbase could stay the same or maybe even shrink slightly, which is a win in my book. But as many of y'all said, hopefully it does keep the rear window rolling down. But, I am super doubtful they'll make it removable top, even with the camo it doesn't look like that's the case.

 

Folks , I'm not talking aboit the back window . I am talking about the side window in the back seat.

 

The C pillar one? They are hiding it because that's a very specific 4runner design cue, I think.

 

Maybe it was a joke, but if you're serious do you mean a return to FJ rear doors?

 

No , let me start over . A you tube page was spit balling and is wondering why they are hiding the passenger rear windows because maybe we will get a removable top ...thats all . And yes maybe it's the C pillar

 

On the bright side, if they make the styling unattractive to buyers in Nigeria and Russia, theft will be less of a concern. I mean, 4th gens didn't get stolen that often.



^I suspect 6th gen's overall proportions will be similar to this. Many parts shared with the Tacoma from the B-pillar forward means a more raked windshield than our current 5th gen. While the C-pillar is upright to ease ingress and the D-pillar is upright for cargo room.

More raked windshield may mean less cracks and breaks due to rocks and debris. I like the upright windshield, not as upright as the FJ and already less prone to damage. If they slant it too much though, it puts the firewall too far foward and just gives you a ton of useless dash space

 

@FN2187 rock chip free and removable roof? Then we'd be cookin

 

As long as I'm batman and you're robin - I don't like being the little spoon.

 

Holy Silverware! You can just drive it.

 

Fify

 

KDSS got even better. Too be 4Runner won't get it.

And the only way one of those $95K SUVS make it off road is if a soccer mom makes a wrong turn trying to get to a game.

Meanwhile I can buy two 4 Runners for the same price. One will be equipped for off road, the other to take kids to a soccer match.

Checkmate.
