will own one. the pictures do not give this car justice. running a 2.4l rav engine is much better than the tiny 1.6l in the soul. te standard features on them are awesome i.e alloys as standard not steels. its different and very very practical. *thumbs up toyota*

I think it looks good, once a nice set of rims go on you’d be surprised. This would actually make a really funky looking 4wd, I’d buy it. Although I’d buy the Kia over this only because they offer a diesel model, unlike Toyota’s hybrid rubbish.

Or is just their tunnel visioned desire to be the global number one volume seller? Look at the record books, if someone comes out with a successful vehicle Toyota will rush out a competitor. MML rebirthed the 3 Door Pajero in aust so Toyota followed without the 3 door Prado (a vehicle that was bought out simply to compete against the Pajero and Jackaroo) even though the 3 door had again proven unfeasible for MML (or did they jut play chess?)
Kia bought out the X/Y Gen targeted soul so Toyota releases Scion.. all the way therough this is all they have ever done. They don’t aways succeed (Aurion, Lexcen, the final MR2) but they have never led a market neither.

Granted with its hubcap and steelies it looks pretty plain but I actually like this car! The C-pillars gives it a sense of strength, reminds me of the Suzuki Swift (not a bad thing) and the interior is more stylish than many other Toyota variants.

Little things like the cool Civic-like fine blue on black text for the stereo is a nice change from the chunky black on green/white displays such as those used in the Camry which always look like they are designed for 50yo plus rental car users.

Fit it with a nice set of alloys and I’d buy this car.

Wow!
With all the looks and excitement of a commercial van, who wouldn’t want one?

Toyota are forward thinkers. Every action taken has a desired end effect and purpose. This market is changing; Toyota would never have considered this car for Australian consumers 10 years ago. So what’s changed? Consumer demands, Environment, Cost of ownership, ease of use, aging population.
It has to be the ugliest plainest looking car besides a transit van but it is functional and it has a Toyota badge on it.

doppelganger is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.
