    It appears to me as if this is a photo of a stock 2nd gen, with a couple of elements photoshopped in. If you save the photo to disk and zoom (paint can zoom up to 1600%), it seems obvious the grill was pasted in, perhaps with the headlights.

    Too boxy. And it looks like an ugly, angry alien.

    It should have the new camry front end with the 4Runner leather and the prius hatch back and hybrid milage. Give it the Tundra 4.6 and that ugly blue concept truck tires, with two scoops and a spoiler... not that would be a truck. j/k. I like the subtle change. I cant wait to see the DCLB MGM TRD Sport. I want to see th interior. but honestly, if you think the entire truck is photoshopt, watch the video. The scoop is obvious, but it would tak a long time to "photoshop" the truck in the video from all those angles. I don't know who in the hell would go through the trouble to make a fake video or why they would. I'm sure the video is as legit as we can get at this point...in other words..."Too legit to quit." (solid reference)

    Maybe I'm alone here but no way in hell do I believe that is the new generation. The only thing different is the front end, everything else looks identical. I think someone made this just to screw with us Toyota guys.

    No silly, its a 2.01 gen. New grill, bumper and will have entune, which will do less than your smart phone, and do it slower.

    I would say that too if I just bought a 2011. I personally think they both look good but need to see the 2012 in person.
