If CBU than 110% duty that brings to 30.70 Lakhs and its got interiors which reminds of Innova. (Seriously thinking shifting from Toyota camp to Honda Camp)
I think the wait for the Fortuner to launch in India has been one of the most frustrating waits ever! Also, as I was mentioning on the Outlander thread, if that one is going to be priced at 20 lacs ex-showroom, I can't see the Fortuner being any lower.

The point is, guys, we need to forget about even the Fortuner launching at anything below this price because -
  • Its a diesel & a Toyota & why the hell would it launch below the Endy or the Outlander for that matter, even if the platform is the Innova's
  • If the Captiva is priced the way it is (because the CRV is priced the way it is) & the X-Trail is priced the way it is, the Fortuner would be at similar levels or one step ahead.
I wonder what the options & price points will be when my Dicor EMIs are up & 3 years have elapsed. Going by present pointers, I'll have to shell out double the price for other options.

I'll probably stick with the 2.2 or whatever else is available at that point..........
