Uplifted Toyota looks just nice. I have bought one few weeks ago (Dec 2008). Towards my greatest surprise, I made 996.4km before the diesel orange light went on. Then I drove to the gas station, and topped up to the full tank, which was actually 68 litres of diesel. That means I used 6.9 liters per 100km !!!
I’m not pulling your leg here. My car is 5-speed manual 2.5D4D, and I drove it full time with air conditioning, and with 4 channels power monoblock amplifier on.

I agree with Roti Naan. The Hilux double cab has gone foofoo-ed over the years. I am not surprised they did this because they are trying to have a share of the oh-I-want-a-4WD-double-cab-just-for-the-gaya market.

The last Hilux Double cab that will not make hard-core Toyota Hilux fans laugh their heads off is the ole 2.8 liter diesel version of the double cab that’s extremely popular among the Talibans in Afghanistan. The one with the all-leaf springs suspension.

Today’s foofoo and fifi Hilux double cab will fall apart on Sabah tough roads if not properly maintained.

Paul, this is my first comment..

The facelifted Toyota Fortuner is already introduced at last month’s Indonesian International Motorshow. The pictures have been printed in our local version of AutoBild magazine.

The front end doesn’t look appealing to me…Hilux has gone soft looking over the years?

Hmm.. good of UMW Toyota to get their web people to post the new car before a proper launch to get immediate interest and bookings but I wonder if it will have that much of an impact since the price of diesel is no longer as attractive as it was.

And the fact that the ‘new’ Hilux has no changes in its powerplant, I see little point in the car being released.

I guess the marketing comm people in UMW knows this as well – that’s why they launch in the cheapest way first.
