This guy has faith in the Toyota brand and i am sure he is not alone..carluva wrote:You know that's something i could never understand.... how can someone blindly buy a vehicle without seeing it, driving it or testing it out.
Did not know it was rear wheel drive. Wonder why though.

I dont think the Rush is in the same category as the Kona tho....it looks more like the Serena, Voxy kind of thing...thats just considering the dimensions and layout tho.agent007 wrote:It's a bit unfair to compare the Rush to a crossover based suv built on a unibody platform. Crossovers would have better handling, braking, ride quality and it has a lower center of gravity. This Rush has a ladder frame chassis where the engine is mounted longitudinally hence the driveshaft at the back powering the rear wheels. Think Suzuki grand Vitara. The information I just received is the grand launch is set for July 20th iirc and the entire first shipment is already booked and sold. The prices will go up after. Personally I would much rather TTTL bring the CHR turbo and hybrid over the Rush but hey more options the better. A Hyundai sales rep told me that the Rush would be short lived since there is a draft feasibility document that exist to justify the importation of the Hyundai kona to TT. Time will tell but the market is heating up!

Whats even funnier is knowing that, the marketing team went ahead with the name "RUSH"

Tropical weather, bad roads, poor fuel etc. He says the cost of ownership is projected to be even lower than the rav4 which is amongst the lowest in the industry.

While I agree with the RWD sentiments and it’s a big improvement in looks and features over the previous Terios, that power and acceleration in 2018 is unacceptable in my opinion. A stock B14, which we still have, that was in purchased in 1998, 20 years ago, had more acceleration than that.
Even worse, what if there are 5 people in the rush? Or seven? I think it’s severely underpowered which can be a safety issue in itself. A 7 seater SUV with the same engine as a Yaris? Nah man.
Overtaking anything gonna be a real dangerous task in that thing.

Can't see this being a 3rd Gen to the terios. All terios models was 4wd, short wheelbase rugged suv. The fu terios was called the rush, but this looks like a whole new vehicle class. Seems like a creta class vehicle...timothymcdavid wrote:Toyota Rush is the Daihatsu Terios 3rd gen ... Then again Toyota owns Daihatsu.

What planet he living on pal.... the Rav 4 is a damn expensive vehicle to own and maintain.
Might have to take the dealership out of the equation to achieve low maintenance figures.Gladiator wrote:agent007 wrote:Spoke to a seasoned Toyota sales person earlier today who indicated that the value proposition for the Rush is not straight line acceleration but it's ability to last in this environment of ours.

Even with the dealership in the equation, its just slightly higher than a corolla or yaris to maintain....kamakazi wrote:Might have to take the dealership out of the equation to achieve low maintenance figures.Gladiator wrote:agent007 wrote:Spoke to a seasoned Toyota sales person earlier today who indicated that the value proposition for the Rush is not straight line acceleration but it's ability to last in this environment of ours.

Don't know how the price of parts compare though... And again take the dealership out of the equation where it makes sense.
