my step-dad told me to go to the Toyota site, he works for them...lol the design was changed some, and w/ a V6 hybrid is seems like it could be a BIT more affordable. still ~4 second 0-60 and i KNOW the volta posts have been around, but this is listed next to the FJ Cruiser, which is being released this year or next. --------------------  |

love this color
  i say, forget the body, it looks so hot like this, i want these tires too!  volta looks better than the honda dualnote dualnote in my opinion  --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

thought it was only going to be an overseas car, and that the US head-hancho didn't want anything to do w/ it(being a family man).
