Default 2007 highlander FT-SX concept spinoff

I guess I'm really surprised this group of enthusiasts isn't salivating over the next generation highlander like many are for the FJ spinoff and the new 268 HP Rav 4.

I suppose I'd say if you weren't in love with the current milk-toast styling and were in the market for a highlander it'd be better to wait until next fall.

Lets see it come out before we start celebrating, in my experience the look of a vehicle changes very slightly every year. I figure its gonna take a few years to get to that point.

All that looks like is a Matrix on steriods.... and it looks to much like a Voyager/Seinna body style

It looks sort of like a large wagon. But I guess it makes sense for Toyota to position the next gen Highlander in that category since the RAV4 has taken it's spot as a mid-sized SUV in Toyota's Lineup; and I can't see Toyota making a Highlander larger than the 4Runner. If they did that, they would have to re-vamp their entire line.

This is what I imagine Toyota's lineup will be:

In the wagon category (from smallest to largest):
Yaris, Scion xA, Matrix, Highlander

In the SUV category
RAV4, 4Runner, Landcruiser, Sequoia
(the Landcruiser should be at the top of the list, but in physical dimensions the Sequoia is larger)

Maybe it'll be better in person, but from the pics... not my cup of tea. Looks too much like a minivan, a Chrysler at that...
