Now you got some idea about the number of affluent nuts in the country.So many booked a vehicle without it getting introduced in the market.There is no economic recission in INDIA.The choice of a car is ones personal preference.What else .

akshay, is that a left hand drive vehicle? Somehow in that diffused kind of image it appears as if the steering wheel is on the left hand side.

It appears so as he has clicked the pic through his rear view camera

.anshuman · 15th July 2009, 01:11

I got a call from the local Toyota dealer,he said they are accepting bookings for Fortuner and the suv will be launched in september for around 20lakh exshowroom delhi for manual 4wd variant,though he did not have any specifications apart from the engine size.

Zappo · 15th July 2009, 01:12

You mean the rear view mirror? I also thought so initially, but then do all cars behind us appear to us as left hand drives? I am not so sure all of a sudden, but I don't think so... Or then may be you are right. I am mighty confused all of a sudden.

abhinav.gupta88 · 15th July 2009, 01:17

oops.
My bad.
The Rear View camera.
I think all the cars appear left handed in the RVM.

Even i'm confused now

I was confused too, I just did a quick check in my dressing mirror and the cars appearing in the RVM are exactly like what you see when you turn behind. The one in the pic is RHD! Proved!

What is the other SUV in the picture, is that a safari??

I spoke to a Toyota sales person yesterday who mentioned they've been shown the car in their showrooms. The pricing could be anywhere between 17 and 20L. He confirmed it would be a mean 4 x 4

AlokSriva · 16th July 2009, 13:52

@Nitin - which dealer is this please?

sidwadia · 16th July 2009, 15:02

Got a call from a dealer in Delhi as well for booking @ 1 lac. Ex showroom price will range between 17 to 20 , Manual & Automatic both are going to be available for booking from Day 1. Deliveries will initiate from Sept 1st week for a limited number (each dealer has got a limted no. allocated/rationed). Balance deliveries from last week Sept onwards.

As confirmed by most on this thread - 3 Ltr diesel D4d with AWD.
Finally....... Its Coming !!!

In this pic clicked by Akshay the fortuner seems to be the facelifted version.Earlier test vehicles had the old shape grill and headlight.So hopefully we will be getting the facelifted version of the Fortuner.
