Ace, can you call a spade a spade and stop confusing people? A Fortuner is not a Vigo.

he didn't confuse me... not sure that is a good thing however facepalm.gif

Funny thing to say,some folks are happy to pay 1.5 Mill for a 600K Vigo with extra chairs.The Imported Beetle isnt cheap either, nice to have something different anyway.

What model Vigo is 1.5 million? The most expensive I could find on the Toyota website is the 3.0 litre 4X4 AT, top of the line, which is just a tad over 1 million.

3.0 litre 4X4 AT, top of the line Toyota Vigo with the TR Transformer body is almost 1.6 million.. and still only has seats for 5, and 2 airbags. !!

I'm not familiar with the "Transformer" body, is that the one that looks like a Hummer?

YES http://www.one2car.com/search/search_result.aspx?Brand=B0054&Model=S1536&

That's because you've become fluent in the AOP language dialect. Few people have achieved fluency so consider yourself fortunate. laugh.png

Yeah, I'm yet to learn Gobbledegook, ie gibberish.

Unlike the sylphy, almera and other give me a double espresso to wake up type sedans in the market, I like the Juke only cause it is different...

You could drink a gallon of coffee and it's still going to be ugly. I hesitate to suggest it was styled by the styling department because there is nothing stylish about it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess - hence why it selling like crazy. It's a cute car for hiso gals - better than the march,yaris, brio. Makes the Swift look dated.

I feel you maybe confusing it with a Lexus dear boy. Wot, wot.

A Sportivo is a Vigo with a Tin Roof and Extra Chairs, i know i fell for it !!. Anyway what is a Straightaway, regarding funny language, means Do it Now, to me.Yet Yanks call A Racetrack Straight a Straitaway.Is that Straight enough.The Juke reminds me of the old Paris Dakar vehicle. All Warts n Lumps.w00t.gif

Oh and it's as ugly as an X1. Thais do seem to like ugly big cars.

yea I guess your right. Compared to those eye turning civics, corollas, vios, elmaras etc, it's an ugly duckling

Does a Vigo have a Fortuner badge anywhere on the body? Does a Fortuner have a Vigo badge anywhere? No? Then let's please call them what they are badged under.

well I agree that the almera, syphy are ugly (boring) - like a all 4 door sedans for that stature. I suppose you thought the Bug or Mini were ugly too when they came out.

Would like to here what car you like (normal car - not some 20 million baht ferrari) for comparison.

Because its a poser car (with no practical value).

I even doubt it has as much space as Mazda 2 (4 door).

Just seen it once at a show in Khon Kaen.

Had a look in the back and had a laugh.

This is so true.

There are lots of people driving around in Dukes near me. They catch your eye at first but that's about it. They're tiny in the back!

A Thai friend of ours has one (black with a red trim and red wing mirrors, I might add) she thinks it's the bees knees, the reality is it looks ridiculous.

I call it the "Rot dok jai"

It looks like a car with a surprised look on it's face.

James, putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make her more attractive. wink.png

No idea what they put on the new CRV, but sure looks an ugly bloated pig...

A friend of mine has BMW x3 and the juke, he claims the ride quality is the same if not better with juke

Cars like everything else is made for specific segments in mind.

Juke was not aimed at 60 plus year olds but more 20-30 range.

That is interesting... cant say I have every seen 20-30 age range driving one, most are much older, one guy in the Village bought one earlier this year he is Thai and 60+ the Thai guy that bought a Ford Ecosport a couple of months back is also in his 60's

Just because you or someone else does not see or see something does not change the fact that cars are made to specific target markets.

There is a good reason why some models advertised with young girls and other models with young boys and other models with rough looking men. or family with kids and dog.
