    Came across this pic. Someone 'shopped a Lexus LX front onto a tacoma. Bigger grill than the 3rd generations :boink:, but I honestly think there's a market for luxury mid-sized trucks.

    Any thoughts?

    mehh, guess i didn't search hard enough..

    was just thinking that if the folks willing to fork out 40k for a new tacoma or 150, they'd be willing to pay more for the lexus brand.

    I don't mind repost I'm just fitting the quo.

    I personally would not spend 40k on a tacoma. Especially a 2nd gen with new nose.

    Above 35 and I'm going fullsize.

    Isn't the top of the line GMC Canyon around $45k? I'm sure it's nice but like jmaack said, it's a lot of money for a smallish pickup. A niche market for sure.

    With the direction they're going with grilles on these trucks this will be 3rd gen refresh or 4th gen.
