Kasi you're after the GL variant of the Tucson. Which is "far" from the looks of the top end (Premium) variant.
Ang Montero Sport kasi from GLS-V to GT-V halos iisa itsura. Palit ka lang ng mesh grille kamukha mo na yung GT-V. Which is quite easy and inexpensive..

Are you considering other alternatives as well, sir ? You might want to look at the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento & the Nissan X-trail. Those aforementioned cars look good too. However, the first two ( Sta Fe & Sorento ) might require you a bit of budget-stretching while the Xtrail I believe is still in the price range of the Montero.
Also, since you have considered a CUV which only seats five, why don't you consider executive sedans as well ? Like the Honda Accord, Sonata Premium & the sporty-ish Mazda 6.
Just trying to widen your choices. You can ignore this if you want though.

June 2nd, 2011 10:19 PM #14Executive sedans would have been great choices if it weren't for the fact that I travel a lot to provinces here in Mindanao where the roads are unfriendly to those car class.
As for the Sta. Fe, I heard that a new model will be introduced by next year and I think I could not wait for that to happen.
As for the Sorento I find it too expensive. As for the X-Trail I find the styling too boxy as against its competitors like the Tucson, Sportage, CRV and RAV-4.

Looks-wise, the Tucson and Sportage both look really good, with the Sportage a bit more imposing, while the Tucson is more stylish. However, it's the Monterosport which has the most imposing look of them all, due to its heft and height.
You're, right, the X-Trail is boxy (I have one) and not too stylish, though it's probably got the most comfortable ride amongst the various SUVs in your choices, even when traveling in rough terrain. I don't find the CRV having the same wow factor as the Tucson or Monterosport.
At the end of the day, I think it's the Monterosport that'll give you the best blend of image, performance, and wow factor amongst your choices for your specific situation and requirements.

Oh, I didn't know that you were living in Mindanao. Guess the GT-V will fit you best. Just a few tips though, have the interior leather wrapped ( if it isn't .. ) have tints all around - probably light tint on the windshield then medium on the front doors then black all around ... - to complete that executive look plus of course upgrade the horns. Rims are optional though but if you would want to upgrade them, 20's would look good. Of course, in chromes so as not to lessen the target executive approach.
