    The Fortuner is based on the Vigo. It is considered as pick up based SUV, like the Everest. Innova, well, is a new breed of AUV.

    Have you seen the Toyota Fortuner? IMO, it is a befitting replacement for the local Revo, than the Kijang Innova which was recently launched in Indonesia.

    It's introduction in South Africa is planned to replace the Condor (which is by the way also the Revo. :whoa:

    Great Info News! I surely hope that Toyota Philippines chooses the Fortuner as a replacement for the existing Revo (instead of the Innova)...they could very well re-badged it as the Revo Fortuner!

    The Fortuner is a Hilux-based vehicle and also comes out in a 4X2 variant according to Motoring news SA.
