    I think this is going to end up being the same deal as when pics of the Tacoma with the 12+ facelift popped up. Most people hated it at first, but then more and more people bought them and like them now.

    I didn't like the new Tacomas at first, but now I love them. I think this one will end up being the same way.

    Not sure...if the Colorado has a diesel option then it is in serious contentiion. I may also get the last model of the Gen 2 if the Gen 3 looks like the 4runner. I've been driving Tacoma's since '95 so it will be a tough to leave but the look of that 4runner has me nervous about what is to come for Tacomas.

    I wouldn't be too worried about it going over to the Tacoma. This is just a refresh for the 4runner like they did for 2012+ Tacomas in my opinion.
