ay talaga? ang bilis naman maglabas. pero baka sobrang minimal changes lang? gaya ng ilaw. wheels, etc.

^all-new na siguro. a former dealership manager told me a few years back that the all-new Fortuner mga 2014 pa daw since 9 years daw gagamitin ng toyota yung mga current IMV platforms. Fort, Hilux, and Innova are currently on their 2nd(hopefully last) facelift.

hindi naman sir. as of this date, 1 year na yung current model. inupgrade lang yung 2.5 to VNT. kung end of next year, 2+ years na din yun. pero parang mas tama yung 2014. baka i launch lang end of 2013, selling 2014.

yung 1st Gen Vios AFAIK facelifted 2006, all new model 2007.

so 2013 is not a good time to buy a fort?

1 year na as of this date? parang ang bilis ah. hehe. oo nga, mas tama kung 2014. pero usually naman pag nagaanounce or may rumor ng date, nadedelay a couple of months e. hehe

hindi naman not a good buy. matagal pa naman kung tutuusin e. kung secondary car, might as well wait for it. pero kung hindi, ok naman bumili

I think upgraded na din yung power and tranny ng V. A 40K increase is too much for a head unit, as compared to G VVTi, 15K lang. Also the 2.5G VNT has 5 speed tranny, the V must also go along with the upgrade para hindi maiwanan sa sales. Correct me if I'm wrong but our local and Thai Fortuners have similar drivetrain configurations.

^4-speed parin po ang transmission ng Fort dito

Thailang lang po ang nag upgrade ng tranny.

its time na din na palitan na nila yung mismong body, panay facelift and upgrades na kase. pero kahit bilin yung specup na hilux and fortuner hindi na din lugi =)

I think the FMC is due in a year or two kaya now would be a good time to check out the later MMC iterations. Sure you get a NOS (new old stock) but bottomline is it's new and good, warranty-wise, for another 3 years
