seeing this race is like seeing the F-150 vs Cyrbertruck tug of war

not an expert, but I always find Toyota's max rpm/power around 3-4k rpm... compared to Honda na around 5.5-6.5k rpm - this can normally be felt when overtaking in local provincial roads. - hence during HS days... mas madaling "paiyakin" ang Toyota

2nd... if you keep on racing both... I don't think the Innova's diesel engine will last as long as the Honda's Petrol engine... pero mauuna sigurong masira yung CVT than the conventional A/T

3rd stopping power... being a racer sa Mindanao and Macapagal YEARSSSSS ago... I'll be more confident stopping on a Civic than an Innova kapag may biglang car na sumulpot sa harap mo.

4th handling... I always prefer to drive a car because of this reason, faster/better cornering

5th... pogi factor... I will always say mas pogi yung car... my dad will say kasya 6 na chicks sa MPV

quick question na matagal nang nasa isip ko...

Innova uses a de-tuned 2.8 engine thats the same as the Fortuner.

Can you swap the computer box of the Innova to get the Fortuner's power? - kahit sa sites ng Toyota Malaysia/India/Indonesia wala akong makitang info on this.
