At that price point, the material quality is in line with its competitors. It's a moot point.

Most car reviews only talk about speed, MPG, and cost anyways.

This small front-end difference makes the 4 runner look much better.

I basically agree with Joeb. Too much underlying cheap plastic in many Toyota interiors, though it is better now than than it was several years ago, and sometimes at least looks good on the surface. And, to be fair, some other manufacturers also cost-cut on some of their interior materials....I haven't been impressed, for example, with some lower-line Kia interiors, though their upmarket products are nice.

I understand that looks is subjective, but come on the front end is hideous especially the fog lights area. Don't fire the engineer/designer, but give them a slap in the back of the head...................what are you smoking?
