this is my first post but been lurking in tsikot for several months now. i've discovered this forum in december 2004 while looking for threads/forums about fortuner (the moment i heard the rumour about fortuner coming to the philippines, nag google search nko)
I'm in a dilemma.
In a month or so, ill have my 2002 Altis fully paid. I've set my eyes sa Fortuner on Jan 2006. And I've just spoken to my suking Toyota agent about availability of Fortuner by January. Hindi sya mka commit dahil sa sobrang haba ng waiting list. eh atat npo akong magka SUV (or mini SUV).
So I'm thinking of RAV4.
What do you think guys? Is Fortuner worth waiting for na walang assurance kung kelan?
uhm... fortuner? dpende sa needs mo bro.. if you always carry ur family/friends around, then fortuner ka. if single kapa, ok lng rav4 kaso mlapit narin palitan ito

hehe loyal sa Toyota no?!
Thank you guys!
bro, pareho tayo. katatapos lang ng payment ko sa 2002 adventure ko. ang iba lang sa atin ay pumila na ako sa fortuner 4x2 diesel nung last week of May pa so by next month siguro makukuha ko na unit ko. suggestion ko mag-fortuner ka na lang. gamitin mo na lang muna yung altis mo while waiting. yung iba kasi kaya nagmamadali eh baka nabenta na nila yung car nila or first time nila bibili ng sasakyan.
If you don't need the space (for seven people) and go extreme off-roading... the Rav4 would be a good choice (assuming that you don't want to check out other manufacturer's offerings) over the Fortuner.
Believe me, the Rav4 is quite capable of taking on some light off-roading duties. Handling is near car-like and power delivery is quite decent.
For some reason I don't find the Fortuner that appealing, parang sa unang tiningin lang maganda. (But its a great ride!). If you are patient enough and still have the time to spare to wait til next year, then why not wait for it.
But if you think you can't wait for it then go for the RAV4. You can't go wrong with that! But yeah, it is getting old!
why not test drive both vehicles to get a feel of each its strenghts and weaknesses... it will help a lot in your decision making process. What we can give you here is some pros and cons but ultimately the decision will fall on your shoulders. Also consider other SUVs on your list.
I've seen quite a few Fortuners on the road, for some reason the style is something I cant seem to like, the RAV4, dated as it is still looks quite good(in some colors better than others).
Had the same predicament before.. answer for me is the Fortuner..
Everyone here shared some good points.. my two cents.. since you technically have a new car, just wait for everything to settle down, talking about this Fortuner hype that Toyota is capitalizing on. You'll surely have the benefit of making a wiser decision if you don't rush, not unless you really need the vehicle now. The Fortuner is here to stay, but there will also definitely be other SUVs in line in the near future, this will surely give you more SUVs to choose from.

thanks to all who shared their opinion. better to exercise control ... control ... control ...
