http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...UTO04/711140483 I love this. Bigger Sequoia but with just a little less mpg than the original. They plop this beast right down in the middle of all of the Detroit 3 hybrid introductions. Toyota's already got the hybrid thing nailed down. Kind of an In-your-face to Detroit. Gotta love that.
ahh jeez.. and I thought the Armada is huge. This thing can probably eclipse it. Yeesh. Oh and it's not cheap. In Canada, the current Sequoia can run you up over $60k!!! That's Land Cruiser territory (not to mention well into the RX/RXh territory).
TOYOTA UNVEILS ALL-NEW 2008 SEQUOIA AT 2007 LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 14, 2007 - - Toyota unveiled the second-generation Sequoia full-size sport utility vehicle at a press conference today at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. Sequoia is completely new for 2008, with a new body, a new interior, a new chassis, an available new 5.7L V8 engine/six-speed transmission combination and an increased focus on efficiency, performance and driver/passenger comfort. Since the Sequoia was introduced in 2000, the world has changed. With both gasoline prices and environmental concerns on the rise, Toyota's engineers and designers have taken steps to increase not just the 2008 Sequoia's performance and comfort, but also its efficiency and environmental awareness.

Hopefully this thing won't sell so Toyota will sh!tcan it and concentrate on more effecient vehicles.
This Araya fellow lived with an american SUV-happy family ... and then WENT ALONG WITH IT??! yeesh. could have warned him about the kool-aid. . _H*
Let me see.... Toyota wants to be a GREEN company, but does not know how to at least make their monster trucks GREEN. Uh... Ok. You can stop making fun of GM/Dodge now.

You guys always make me laugh, assuming that everyone is or should be like you. The Sequoia is very efficient for a vehicle of its size, and an automaker like Toyota needs to appeal to all buyers. The Sequoia is too big for me, but I would trade the Prius in an instant for a Highlander or some other similar SUV, even an Explorer, if my fiance would let me. The Prius is a good vehicle, it just doesn't fill our needs. The Sequoia would be overkill but for big families, people who tow, people who travel a lot and need/like room, its right up their alley.
