Na the Innova while is the spiritual descendant of the Tamaraw FX is not the real descendant the Avanza is the real descendant of the Tamaraw FX. THe Innova has become an MPV family vehicle while the Avanza is still an AUV. And yes being used as a taxi nagmana sa lolo (Tamaraw FX) at tatay (Tamaraw FX Revo) nya...

as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Innova

Philippine version

The Innova was introduced in 2005 to replace the Revo and bring it to international level. Currently the Philippines' best selling vehicle, surpassing its rivals Mitsubishi Adventure and Isuzu Hi-Lander in total sales having 10,544 units sold (as of 2007). Variants include the J (base model without Power windows, locks, or mirrors, manual transmission ,and plastic interiors), the E (mid-level model with power features, Airbags, and only available with a Diesel engine, but a Gasoline engine variant was added for MY 2008), the G (middle model with carry over features from the E Variant but with Leather seats and interiors) ,and V, (high end model, which was introduced in the last quarter of 2006 and only available with an automatic transmission, captains chairs on the middle row, and high end audio system). It is used as taxicab by the Ninoy Aquino International Airport's coupon taxi companies and as a patrol vehicle by the Philippine National Police. The 2009 model is currently available.

It was intended as a Revo replacement... but it really isn't Tamaraw class, anymore... it's more of an MPV. (which is why side facing third-row seats are no longer on the menu).

It goes on as a replacement for the up-class Revo SR / VX vehicles, while the Avanza fills in the void left by the loss of the Tamaraw.

^^^ Iyan din ang alam ko.

kaso dahil sa price na ang innova, kailangna na mayroong mas mura na "version" kaya ipinasok ang avanza locally.

Parang sa Vios at City. Nagmahal na kasi ang Corolla (Altis) at Civic.
