And......????

OP, well you quoted a link to the add. Do you have any opinion about the marketing or the vehicle itself? 
 

In the past I had a V-Cross, quite a soft ride compared to other pickup offers.

I'm impressed must have more sensors than a spaceship.

Looks like they have upgraded the SUV game, no mention of cost.

I have a Isuzu 1.9 truck it's OK so I'll keep it.

It looks like it still retains a ladder chassis – so 19th century  ????

And much safer in an accident

Ever see a Honda Jazz in a front end collision ?

spent a few days with pre production MUX.... great vehicle and the top spec is priced well compared to Everest and Fortuner.

Now compare like with like- Honda CRV - with less crude chassis and suspension . What’s your take then?.. perhaps include a view on ride comfort,handling and crumple zones .

OK, I will keep it simple for you, the HRV is a smaller cross over ride, where as the others are full size SUV's..

But I think you know that, you Techno rascal you........????

Never mind chassis comparisons a CRV not a SUV .

Did you study the new suspension lay-out in the video obviously not.

Top spec Fortuner is a bit more than 1.8 MB, so I guess quite a few will be tempted by the new MU-X.

 

But, will it be a Fortuner killer? Absolutely not. Toyota is king here, no matter what one's opinion of the Fortuner may be.

No. None of the PPV's with a ladder frame ride comfortably. The pick of them would be the everest and nissan terra for ride comfort. My wife had a driver who used a mu-x. Horribe ride comfort on bad roads - and that was after the suspension was modified to make ot more comfortable. I rode in the back of it from Chonburi to BKK. Not nice. Now she uses the toyota majesty.

No wrong, the Everest is king for what you can get here, below 2 mill.

 

In the end, they are just glorified pick-up trucks with lip stick, ha-ha

Thought the thread was about trucks. Not babies with an anus in the place of their mouths.

 

Maybe be it was some reference to the "smart ass" comments a few posts above.

I am thinking about getting the Mazda CX5 2.5 turbo, it's much better than all those massive sized glorified pick-up trucks and will leave them in the dust any time. 1.85mill. 

 

I don't need the space and 3 row seats, maybe other do, soo

Well, it looks better than the current generation Fortuner--but just about everything does.  Prefer the CR-V.

More sensors means more troubles in the future... too much tech.
