Spy Shot

http://www.equipmentworld.com/toyot...-spy-shot-of-the-new-design-to-hold-you-over/

 

Didn't we see this photo back in August?

 

I wonder if we could order it with that paint job if we really wanted to.

 

So many vehicles are becoming ridiculously ugly these days...

 

This would be the hilux . Toyota said this time the U.S. tacoma would be more of a hilux but the styling I bet will still be very very different as usual, so this spy shot doesn't really tell us anything for what we'll get in the US. Traditionally the hilux styling had been pretty mellow since its for a global market while the tacoma is specialized, styling wise and so far engineering wise, for the us market. Now supposedly engineering wise they're bridging the gap, hopefully but also hopefully they do hive us thebisuall better styling for us.... The cake aNd eat it to type deal.

 

I like it, stock Tundra powertrain, discontinued regular cab, sweet.

 

Good god that tacoma thing is ugly.

 

Looks like a Highlander with a bed...I'll stick with my '14 TRD Off-Road.

 

Rumor has it new Taco will be rebadged Colorado.

JK

 

I agree, it looks like the bastard child of the Sienna, Highlander and updated Tundra.

I said the same about the new Tundra when they redesigned it a year ago, hated the big, wide and cheesy grill. Excessive chrome everywhere, even disliked the embossed "Tundra" on the tailgate, but admit that I've grown to like it.

 

Its the new hilux

 

I wouldn't be surprised though if Toyota has decided to take a more global platform/ design sharing stand with this, like many other manufactures are doing now to save money.

Prior Hilux's have had a very primitive, more utilitarian look than the 1st & 2nd gen Tacoma we've got in the US. This truck in the spy photos has a very USDM design theme to it by comparison.

 

Definitely looks similar.

 

Well if you type in 2016 hilux on google that same picture comes up muitple times. Have also seen it on TW forms that are about spy shots of the new hilux.

 

I honestly think trucks are looking more car-like...or SUV-like with the swept front ends and contours into the bed. I'll stick with my '14 Thank You!

 

If the new Tacoma looks like that.....I won't buy a "3rd Gen"
