what is "Touch-on-the-Fly transmission"? hmmm

To Isuzu's credit, they have a better implementation of the 4WD system compared to that of Toyota's. Isuzu utilizes push-buttons to activate and shift the 4WD syste, (eg H, HL, LL,etc.). In contrast, Toyota utilizes a stick shift for the same purpose, which, imo, is less desirable because of imprecision during shifting.

I must say, though, that to most off-roaders and even to some recreational off-roaders (and posers), the stick shift system is a lot more desirable. IMO, the push buttons seem like a feminine touch.

Ganda siguro pag all black yang Alterra with those chrome grilles and door handles.

(This is on the 4x4 dmax)


or like this

(This is on the 4x4 explorer)


Maganda kaya ang alterra in black? I love the iteq engine on this machine

[bilog]

i still don't like the looks of the alterra... they should have brought here the adventure master.

[RedHorse]

pwede naman...

just don't pass/park, anywhere these popular areas... edsa guadalupe southbound, araneta avenue both sides between sm sta mesa and corner of araneta/quezon avenue

joke lang po sir...

[cardo]

Redhorse pede rin naman dumaan dyan, just wear a ski mask hehehe... joke lang guys

I enjoyed the car and the esp. the engine when I test drove it. Looks of the car is an acquired taste

[cardo]

oh no! I'm not a fan of big chrome grills.

"On the outside, the Alterra 4x4 is immediately distinguished from the 4x2 by the chromed radiator grille and door handles (those on the 4x2 are body-colored) and a simple 4WD logo sticker at the back."

what's with two tone ba? gumanda ah, dati pangit na pangit ako dyan

[mazdamazda]

wow! it is priced really nice...

I find the Alterra's interior more to my liking than the generic and bland Fortuner. nice touches like 3rd row handlebars, flush aircon, removable 2nd row middle seat, etc.

though it is still a matter if you can live with an exterior that looks downright weird on some angles (like the side view) and nice (like the rear quarter view) on some.

[Bry]

I'd rather have the X-trail tapos keep na lang yung sukli. Or a CR-V.

[zechs]

IMO, the looks of the alterra grew on me. i wouldnt mind having it NOW as my SUV. as long as it doesnt come with any problems...hehe :D

[finchy18]

bakit hindi full black

[larshell]

Mas ok sana kung stick shift 4x4 yong Altera kasi parang fake kung push button or switch yong 4x4. I agree wd Vicoyski. IMHO

[jim]

stick shift 4x4 or not, for me the 4x4 alterra is value for money. dapat inilabas na ito noon pa. parami ng parami na rin ang nakikita kong alterra sa roads 4x2 nga lang. the black alterra is gorgeous!!!

I wonder what kind of resale value(s) can we expect from Isuzu.
