The sharing, caring world grows ever so bigger, which makes sense in this day and age. Reports are rife that Toyota and Subaru is working towards using the same platform for their next-generation Highlander and Tribeca models.
Both vehicles are due for replacement sometime in 2014, and the grapevine reports that the boffins are looking at ways to seat the Subaru crossover on the Highlander’s platform.
Naturally, there’ll be some tricky corners to work around – the shared platform has to accomodate a number of different powertrain configurations, in this case a longitudinally-mounted boxer pot for the Tribeca and a transverse-mounted block for the Highlander, plus a hybrid system for the latter.
Nothing that can’t be surmounted, if there’s enough will. The way, of course, isn’t so soon, so there’s plenty of time to explore the will bit.

Japanese really dunno how to make a good looking car. Look old and dated
the amazing subaru has become boring like toyota
Only 2 SUV model from Toyota which is nice Highlander or Kluger and the Venza.. others are just normal boring looking car.. But why Venza is not sold outside of US ?
Venza has a derivative called Mark X ZiO in Japan and I’ve seen it in
Grey importers in Malaysia
Oh really , but i rarely seen any Venza. Only from Toyota US website and Youtube i get to view it. But it is rather not popular mentioned from most famous automotive website.
I also have never seen a Venza on Malaysian roads, only seen it in the grey import dealership. They were selling the 3.5 liter version… perhaps road tax prohibitive.
