My ride on mower has a disc brake on the rear. So to does my push bike and motor bike. Drum brakes on cars became redundant 55 years ago when disc brake equipped D Type Jags slaughtered the field at Le Mans. Lets not hear the tired old argument that light cars don’t need them. What about brake fade, squealing drums due to brake dust, ease of inspection/replacement of pads, drying out instantly in heavy rain, miniscule price differential between drums/discs etc etc. Come on Toyota and Motoring Mags., and get up these lazy manufacturers toying with our lives.

Anthony Says: “the re are those who like us to believe [as they do] that Toyota leads every category that it competes in”

Anthony, who exactly is that?

Overlander 2009 Best Large Petrol 4wd (Landcruiser 200)
Overlander 2009 Best Medium Petrol 4wd (Prado Petrol)Many years running…
Overlander 2009 Best Medium Diesel 4wd (Prado Diesel)Few years running…

^^^ That doesn’t exactly sound like a class trailer to me!!

I agree Captain Nemo – the re are those who like us to believe [as they do] that Toyota leads every category that it competes in – Yet in the majority of cases they are trailing particularly in terms of performance features not to mention value for money.

I compare it to a runner who is running a round a track; he can’t see anyone in front of him; which makes him think he’s leading – when in actual fact he is coming last and is unaware that he is about to be lapped [again].

Lets hope they lose that stupid ugly mineshaft instrument cluster with the new model. BTW Alex your right all Toyotas are class trailing but when the blind sheep that look at nothing else but a cr@ppy Toyota for their next car there won’t be any improvment. Class trailing is what Toyota do best.

i just saw the price…HOLY CRAP!!! 16k for that is abit steep, although I suppose because its a Toyota thats a given…:S

Alex yeah there was another Rush but I think it was in the very final stages of the Echo’s life – just a way of getting rid of them I suppose. Hopefully the Yaris might go soon too…

I thought Toyota were charging you a $12K premium for the Toyota badge and $4190 for all the other creature features – which are below par when compared to its rivals
