Whether some car is sold in a particular market or not has nothing to do with development of that car. In case you want to buy a real SUV buy a Fortuner.ĭealership guys are the most ignorant lot, period.įorget whether 2014 Fortuner will be designed by Toyota Technical Centre Australia or not, the current one is definitely designed by them. My thoughts on the hatchbacks of BMW, Mercedes and Audi are that they just are for brand sake only. The vehicle in its engine category is the best money can buy. I'm buying a Fortuner soon inspite of these rumors. India could see more vehicles like the avanza and the rav4. As per guys at Toyota the Fortuner could dawn a sunroof and a four speed automatic. I don't think team Australia is going to revamp the Fortuner. What more can one ask for ? Nothing really. Would front and rear differential as an option be asking for too much ? TKML should make it available as an option - for it to be specifically installed at the factory and shipped. Like the brake boosters and earlier change/upgrade of larger front discs for the 2009/10 Fortuners. But the hope here is that they design the rear disc brakes in such a way that they can be retro-fitted on to the older Fortuners. I am sure they'll look at all wheel disc brakes. Improve the quality of beading, please ! If increasing the thickness is an issue then some innovative shaping/banding to increase the strength would be of great help. The thickness or quality of the steel plates have to go up. Although mentioned by dkaile earlier - I must emphasise that paint quality has to, has to, improve ! The looks are fine but the toughness/durability has to go up several notches.
