Default 2008 Sequoia.......Discussions !!

I know there isn't official pics yet but I'm pretty curious as to what the Sequoia's going to look like. Any opinions or discussion on the Sequoia? Here's pics I've found so far!! I doubt they're real .

Somebody let Toyota know that the Durango isn't selling.

I like Toyota products but the current Sequioa is so bland (and I am sure its a good truck, but not Great) I actually forget about having sex when I see it around.

And that is VERy hard to do

Clearly the new one should be class leading in power, luxury,features etc. Toyota rarely misses twice in a row

Well, strap a heavy trailer to it and it just might. While not quite as hefty as a Suburban and having a unibody instead of a ladder frame, this vehicle nevertheless is designed to tow some pretty heavy loads.
Still, even taking this into account, it does look like a pretty large grille. Maybe they want to copy Audi.

this car reminds me of the infiniti... QX56 is it? I think that's what it's called, it's like the Pathfinder armada.

Yes...it is about the same size as the QX56, but FAR more reliable. Infiniti generally makes reliable cars, but the QX56, like the Armada, reliability-wise, is junk.

That's a very obvious photochop of the new Tundra (look closely at the grill).

Yeah...those arch-shaped front fenders remind me of the Dodge Nitro and prototype Power Wagon.
