Hi all,
Last month, when I made my return to the forum, you may remember me mentioning that my mom sold her 2011 Tucson and was looking to get a Toyota as a replacement.

One month later, the decision was made, and the papers were signed. She got herself a new Toyota

.

Toyota Fortuner 2016

It's a nice car. It's somewhat cheap as well. $30,000 (approx.) for a MPV (I think that's what it's classified as) that has a good amount of standard equipment that looks good. Toyota in the Philippines gets some nice cars. For example: Their Corolla looks way better than it does in the US/Canada. The Yaris is way better as well. But... they have this thing which is... to say the least, a huge ass eye sore:

Computer Specs:
ASUS TUF FX505DT
[Processor] AMD Ryzen 5 3500H @ 3.7 GHz
[RAM] 16GB 2666MHz DDR4
[Storage] 256 GB PCIE SSD + 1 TB SATA SSD
[Graphics] NVIDIA GTX 1650 (4GB GDDR5)

To the good times.

Much love.
Peace.

I agree. It classifies as an SUV actually. It's meant to be the 7-seater SUV version of the Hilux in the Asian regions.

I'm not quite fond of the new Alphard as well. I think the old one looks better.

The old one looks waaaaay better than the new one. The new one seems to be trying so hard to be a Lexus with that huge ugly grill

My mum has the Octavia now, and that is large for women in Europe, in the USA is small I don't know how much more sexist you could be right now. My mother has driven things from a Box Van to a Dodge Neon. Gender really doesn't play a role as into what people drive.
