If the Gx470 wasn't coming out, this would be how the new 4Runner would look.

"I" think if the Lexus GX470 didn't come out, this would be the new 4Runner.

GX470 - Rebadged 2003 4Runner


Now, if this was the picture of the new 2003 4Runner, would you feel any different?

They obviously scaled down the new 4Runner to make the GX more appealing.

This is supposedly the Japanese Hilux-Surf. It should be the same as what we're getting here.

It looks more like it's from the 4Runner family than the Gx470. More agressive.

If it really is our 2003, I may like it better than I did when I first saw the pics.

I don't know. Until I see a picture of the new 4Runner like that picture and the stats, I will save my opinion.
