93LSOwner Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I bet it looks very attractive in person than its previous design. Even in the pictures it’s not bad looking at all and agreed on the superb interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I don't like the exterior AT ALL...but the interior is an improv. over the prev gen highlander's. I see they're still sticking with the fake wood :( I wish they had this interior with the prev. gen exterior. I STILL like the 01-07 exteriors :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The exterior is not too hot. They started off with the attractive Rav4 front end, and it all goes south from the A pillar on back. I don't really care for the oversized buttons in the center stack either, but the ac vents in the center stack from the LS460 are cool!!

SW03ES Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I don't think its ugly, at least its not as generic and boring as the previous car and it ties in better with the other Toyota trucks. Its much more masculine looking. I'll have to forward this to my Broker, she wants a Highlander Hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 im reading that the hybrid model will have an EV mode, which is an electric only setting on its dash. Unfortunately, it can only last the car for a 1 mile range. still a nice little feature that i think will move onto the redesigned RX later on. i wonder if there is a speed limit on that.

Rx330driver Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 yeah i know, on the prius they go up to 40 mph. The problem is that the US wants toyota to give a 10 year warranty on these batteries and its too much strain on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 i LOVE the interior, its great, though, like the rest of you guys, i must agree that previous exteriors looked better, maybe a different color will look better, personally, i do not like this color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wait and see it in person. I don't see how it couldn't be more appealing than the previous Highlander. Talk about a snooze fest. I dont know why Toyota thinks people who like Hybrids want ugly colors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah I'm not feeling the new styling at all either.....was quite disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
