Chicago Auto Show?

Anyone going??? This is why I ask....

I'm betting its a convertible Solara and sport version of the Tundra (similar to the “S-Runner”)

could it be the xrunner?

Instead of going with the sporty package, TOYOTA ought to do something for the off-roaders.

oh my... why'd they have to put the name 'runner' into a pre-lowered truck? :cry:

The profile looks the same.. I had not seen this photo before but it looks fairly legit.. (non-chopped)

So I now ask, could this be the NEXT TACO??

Chris, it's one model in the next Taco series. Here's a press release describing the specs. Note the 1GR 4.0L V-6 will have an available S/C, standard 6M/T, LSD, X-braced frame, special suspension tuning, 18" tires and wheels, and check out those seats! Stock 0-60 will be around 7 flat, probably breaking into 5's with the S/C, and will generate more grip than a 350Z! I'll bet it rides like a ...truck, though.

Hmm, this or the Scion tC S/C?

Corprate dude made a cute swipe at Janetgate in his intro remarks...

Anybody know when toyota put up their info? Something told me to check toyota.com last week and I forgot.... missed out on the chance to scoop you guys!

It looks ok...but...its about 6-8 inches too short, designers must have been under the asian persuasion when they threw that out, looks like a ricin machine. But I'm sure if it found its way into the right hands that thing could be an off-roading masterpiece...we'll just have to wait and see!

Is it me or does this trucks front end remind me of the ford.

KING · 02-05-2004, 01:07 PM

To me, it looks more like that new CHEVROLET COLORADO.
