Based on what I saw in PIMS, the MS wins by far. It looks so good, so big and so wow!

[mavsn]

yup! count me in... MS for me, it looks oh so manly!

[Starex_Gold]

Montero Sport.. pero intayin nyo yung facelifted Fortuner.

Paging JJCarEnthusiast

The Fort still wins by a mile in the looks dept for this comparo. The MS looks like a Fuzion on steroids which, er uh makes it look too tame for its real worth.

I'd like to quote my fave mechanic "Nakakasindak talaga ang itsura Fort sa kahit anong anggulo (angle).."

just my :twocents:

Si JJ ang galit na galit sa Montero Sport.. "malaking bakla" daw..

Let's wait for the Montero Sport to be launched and be test drive first before anything else.

Haven't test driven it but based on the unit I saw in MOA, the overall looks appeal to me.

[motegi]

It's going to be lopsided in favor of MS if pitted against the current model of Fort. Don't know the outcome if facelifted Fort will be available.

[tip_tipid]

pa-pogi-an lang ba ito? as if a facelift will be enough for the current fort to compete with the MS?

[basti08]

as for the drive, compare the hilux and strada, the hilux nearly stumble on an elk test/moose test done in europe. the strada performed amazingly there.

as for the looks, ive seen the facelifted fortuner in pics and ive seen enough. i think the MS looks better. saw one in person, boy it doesnt look like a Fuzion on steriods esp at the back. IMO, in person the back looks like an Audi!

[yapoy86]

i was driving near festival mall alabang when i spotted a MS but as i approach... Fuzion pala... wow mali... may pagkakahawig yung back sa Fuzion and yung Front sa Strada...

pero stunning pa din yung dating ng MS in personal kasi bago sa paningin unlike ng Toyota Fortuner kahit kalalabas pa lang sa casa obsolete na agad lalo pa may facelifted na upcoming

[yapoy86]

na doble hayyy

Ako naman I was at Robinson's Ermita and saw this Sedona Red MS GLS SE from the back which I initially mistook for a Fuzion.... wow mali.... MS talaga and with plate number na siya... Plate niya "16" - front and back. RTC Judge? Hehe, basta opisyal, bilis no? One SA bragged to me that marami na politiko umorder sa kanya ng MS, pang backup sa mga bodyguards nila. Yaman talaga mga politko natin, pang backup lang ung MS.

Going back to my story, that proves to me talaga that the exterior of the FUZION and the new MS are kind of alike. From afar, you can really mistake one for the other. Nevertheless, I still like the MS over the Fortuner for a lot of reasons, and I'm not even a fan of Mitsu vehicles since the last Mitsu I bought and owned was the Lancer SL (Box Type) pa way back 1984.

So kung ganun... Strada bakla na naka shorts, MS bakla na naka amerikana. hehe... ewan ko ba, pinasubra paganda ng Mitsu ang Strada at karamihan medyo nababakla-an tuloy. Anu kaya mangyari ngayon sa MS na mas maganda pa?

[xTrememan]

Montero Sport! Hehehe! Whatta jargon naman yung "malaking bakla" eh di hamak talaga mas striking looks ang MS. Sorry sa mga Fortuner fans pero para sakin mas maganda talaga ang Montero Sport and halos lahat ng tanungin ko ngayon naluma para sa kanila ang Fortuner kahit yung facelifted version eh ayaw na nila kasi halos pareho pa din ang itsura... Hehehe! +++ pa yung 4x4 super select feature ng MS na meron din sa Pajero... kewlness!

[stroker_200]

Personal view lang po.

The Montero Sport is less impressive on the flesh. I felt less excited when I saw her in the show room. I think its the front fascia...looks like a whale to me. My dissatisfaction increased when I sat on the 2nd row...too narrow for me. Haven't done a test drive...maybe it will redeem itself.

Fortuner pa din for me. Mas gwapo...kahit saan angulo very muscular ang apperance. Mas generous din ang space inside the Fortuner.

Bago lang sa paningin ang MS kaya marami ang na-e-excite. Lilipas din yan (excitement).

Pease to all.

New looks and better suspension gives the montero the upper hand over the fort... even if the facelifted fort comes along...

maybe if the fort gets a land cruiser engine, (the same analogy used with the montero having the pajero engine) then maybe we'll have a battle....

maybe the fort just looks slightly better aesthetically... but when im shelling out more than a million pesos of my hard-earned money, then i prefer to spend it on functionality....

[lymar07]

mas gusto ko looks ng outlander than that of the montero. although i'd consider a montero but only if it has petrol edition. resale value-wise, i'd go for a toyota (can't beat the world's no.1 carmaker).

but it all boils down to buyers' preference talaga...it's either you buy from the mind or from the heart...lately, one buys from the pocket's capability hehe
