i think they will hold the fortuner for a while.But will definitely be launched.
Im guessing they will launch the D4D 3.0 163 Bhp engine on the prado first(after the model change)
Before that the diesel corolla will make it here to kill civic sales.
after that the fortuner will be launched here with a petrol 2.7 ltr engine Because the diesel engine will be shared with the Prado.This is what i feel,either they launch a different engine for the prado instead of the 163 bhp diesel because people wont like driving around in an engine which is available for a 20lac car when they are paying for a 50 lac car(Bangalore On road price of prado)
Toyota is not launching it because of pricing issues.Maybe they will come out with something decent when it launches.

This is only my view, no official confirmation of any kind.
