great news, been waiting for this for a long time.

Indeed a superb price for toyota reliability and 4WD.

Kudos Toyota !!

[imsathya]

yes, this looks like very competitive pricing. I'm waiting to see what the competition is going to do. I know the refreshed Ford Endy is in the corner. But what about the others? It is going to be very interesting.

[Ashish.K]

Somehow I feel that Endy will never be able to match Toyota package with it's low slung seating and bumpy composition. They might need to re-design the whole thing from scratch.

However, What I am setting my eyes on is 1.9 Ltr DDiS Grand Vitara. With an overall better economics, Diesel economy, Maruti Service Vehicle and a stinker of Driving engine the final outcome product will be a desirable machine.

finally! i was wondering when this would arrive. i loved it the first time i saw the pics.

the only thing i dont like about the car is its disappointing interiors.

it looks like as if the new innova has been put in the interiors of the fortuner there is hardly anything new you feel looking at the interiors of the car they could have done a much better job there.

[teche]

Interiors are a big damp squib, interior space is also not much.

18.45 Lakhs?? thats it??

nice pricing i must say! looking at the SUV, i thought they would price it much higher than that!

awesome!

when i first heard of the imv project, sometime before the innova was launched in india, i was really excited to see the fortuner. however, having had an innova for years, one would expect that toyota would have worked on the interiors by now, specially since they brought the car into india much later unlike other countries like thailand. now it just seems like an innova in a different body and with a different engine (i do know there's more than that before someone decides to start an argument). my dad's been really waiting for this since a long time but im convincing him to look at other sedan options too which he shoots down everytime. he already has a 320i which he uses in the evening, so he wants a car which he can drive to his factory too, and the budget is no more than 20-22. any suggestions?

vb86...u say...now it just seems like an innova in a different body and with a different engine (i do know there's more than that before someone decides to start an argument).
