2015 Pickups

[Lefty]

When do the 2015 Toyota and Izusu pickups arrive in dealerships. Any major changes in either?

The new Toyota Vigo is expected to arrive second to third quarter 2015.

I doubt that Isuzu will have big updates next year, the model is relatively new.

They are not going to call it Vigo are they ?

Why not? Brand awareness and all that?

[NE1]

I just thought they would have moved away from the name Vigo as it is a bit old now.

Maybe come up with another name to capture the imagination , Toyota is the brand name , but the platform name should change.

Toyota Tacundra will do.

[IMHO]

Why not? Do you expect the new model won't be Value Innovative Global and Outstanding?

[phutoie2]

Well its actually a Hilux and has been since the late 1960's. Vigo was selected to replace Tiger.

[IMHO]

VIOS was originally a pet name for the Soluna, and has now survived 3 generations.

The Altis name has also now survived 3 generations.

My money is on the VIGO name staying around, and the Fortuner name staying around too (previous gen: Sport Rider).

For the sake of correctness.

This is the correct link to the Thai language facebook site about the new Vigo:

From an Australian website:

This could be the most important arrival of 2015. The all-new Toyota HiLux is expected to hit Australia in the first half of next year as the Japanese brands overhaul their pick-up propositions.

Maybe the Toyota Bland.

Next years facelift model(yet another) can be the Mega Bland with a ltd edition Mega Bland SUX.

Toyota Hilux Champ VIGO. Just how many names does a vehicle need? Corolla is the same but I think it has 4 names.

I figure Toyota Thailand has a room of people that think up names that Thai people cannot pronounce.

When people mention brown, I don't get very excited but this brown is not too bad, certainly better than the Orange

I like the orange. I think it's about time the pickups were available in less conservative colours. I think there was a choice of 4 colours in my Triton, black, white, silver and grey.

Before the Triton the colours were rather good, many were 2 tone

Will it come with the dotted wall paper look to jazz it up a bit? Oh! Sorry a Jazz is a Honda.. I mean, spiff it up a bit?

that would cost extra

[WarpSpeed]

Well you got to have the "look" on your new Vigo so maybe worth the extra cost?

[Ace of Pop]

Looks the same as the Old Un to me.In fact they all look the same except Mitsu.

[WarpSpeed]

^Even with the spots?

[Ace of Pop]

Shure to have 50% less Spots than the American / Euro spec Models. .

[bkkjames]

Ace, I thought of you when I saw the red rims
