I've been anxiously awaiting an update to the Vigo.......I'd like to cash in my 6.5yr old for a new model. I saw this today in a stateside paper......is it safe to assume 2015 will finally see a new generation Vigo??

No

The new Vigo launches this March...... but it has nothing to do with the Tacoma

Not even close

Lol

Guess this is the new Vigo ?

No Big engine yet again.

Nope, just new 2.2L and 2.8L diesels this time.

Is that a cheaper tax band then .. the reason for decrease in CC?

Under the current excise taxes, the decreased capacity make no difference at all - next year when it changes to a CO2 based system it might make a difference though - but that all depends on whether they get under 200gm/km.

For those interested:

there is another thread about 2015 pickups (not running long though):

The rear styling made me think of the other thread in bikes in thailand where Beyonce is discussed.

The Hilux in US was replaced by the tacoma. Essentially they have a different frame — the Vigo continues on a Hilux type frame the Tacoma has a Prado type.

However as a Toyota they share all sorts of parts and components with each other.

The Vigo and the hilux are classified as "mid-size" pick ups.

In Thailand the engine options on the Vigo (Hilux) are limited to 3 litres or less, whereas in many other countries the 4 litre is offered similar to that of the Tacoma.

Styling is from Toyota and although I don't think they share a single panel in common (could check the windscreens?0 they DO share the same corporate image.

Toyota US will also give a higher spec in accessories , etc.

That's different to what I've been lead to believe, From what I've been told, the Hilux & Tacoma platforms became totally diversified upon the split, and the insider secret is that the Prado actually uses the IMV platform (same as Vigo, Fortuner and Innova), just under a different name.

Until some journo somewhere gets a Toyota exec or engineer to spill the beans, it's all just rumors & speculation though

As an occasional "insider" I think you are wrong - the Vigo fortuner and Innova are as you say, the IMV range and made in Thailand - the Prado and 4 Runner have more or less the same chassis as the Tacoma. no of these were made in Thailand. not sure what you mean by "totally diversified" - no company does that with any models.

That Tacoma is one ugly sucker!

I would hazard a guess that the new Toyota pick up will be seen for the first time officially at the Bkk Motor show at the end of March.

This year? Lol

You don't need a big engine, check out what BMW are doing with the i8.

Some of us have had V8 V6 V12 for so long we still miss them..

OK but just does not sound right, a supercar ? sports car with a 1.5 lt 3 cylinder engine

Next they will offer a Rolls Royce with a 1.8 lt engine

The i8 is hardly a supercar - these days, 0-100km/hr in 4.4s is barely a sports car

There's a vid on youtube with Rory McIlroy driving an i8, well he could afford a few.

Guess the 'these days' is the key........ now I remember a true sports car and 0-60 [these days 0-100 km/hr] was 9.1s and that was fast.. the good old 3.4 XK140 Jag
