    maybe it will grow on me but, i doubt it. my 2010 has to be the best looking truck i have ever seen i absolutely love it.

    i feel that if they where going to include some of the styling cues from the new 4 runner it should not have been done this way. the photo shopped versions of what the 2012 could have possibly looked like where much better imho.

    now the front looks like a mitsubishi lancer that gaping maw of plastic up front kills it for me. that and no new wheel designs? i do however like the fact that they have offered what looks like a nav system as an option it's seemed over due.

    i uploaded a few of my 2010 for a base line the first few pics at night where taken the day after i brought it home it was stock minus the wheels and 265 duratracs. the after pictures are the truck modded to hell with a good bit of money into her.

    Just saw a 2012 in person today. They look so much better in person. Id like to have the new front bumper on my truck. Love the way it angles up on the ends. Looks lean and capable.

    There's one, but crappy view.

    Anyone with a '12 manual tranny have a pic like that of the interior?

    I would definetly say the 2012 looks much better in person. However it is becoming quite sad to see such a great product stagnate in the ever increasing world of technology. I drove the ecoboost last weekend......alls I can say is WTF Toyota, step up. The eco boost is a smaller engine at 3.5L cranking out 420 ft lb of torque. All this at 22 MPG on the highway in a crew cab FX4. I am definetly a fan of the Tacoma....but they need make some real improvments in engine power and efficiency.....screw cosmetics.

    Just bought me new 2012, three days ago, and got the XFM radio for 3 and free and Entune for 36 Months free. I think you are confusing the two.

    SCREW COSMETICS! most definitely i am highly disappointed with the 2012 body style that front end looks horrible and i hope i can get an '11 before its too late and cant find anymore i am not even close to even THINKING about the '12

    Purchased my 2012 $3000 below invoice. They know people are willing to pay $$$$$ for they Tacoma so they take advantage of it. Can't be afraid to walk out even though you REALLY REALLY REALLT want it.

    Sorry, but I am going to have to waive the BS flag on this....$3k below invoice? You probably meant to say below MSRP.
