Also, the overhead sunglass compartment is noticeably much bigger compraed to previous models.

Btw, san pala ang daanan ng tao papuntang 3rd row seats? (V variant)...sa in between ba ng 2 captain seats or na titilt yang captain seats na yan to accommodate ang taong dadaan sa gilid nya kagaya ng other variants.

Question on warning seatbelt sign, is there a weight sensor under the driver & driver's side seat that activates whenever a person is seated? if yes, what is the minimun weight for it to activate? TIA.

Ang alam ko yung seatbelt warning sign is deactivated by a switch on the buckle. Always on upon ignition on and turned off only when seatbelt is fastened. You can try by turning on the engine without seating in the car. It most probably will still turn on.

The seat belt warning sign is activated by a sensor under the seat. Check under the driver/passenger seat you will see a wire leading to it. I just don't know the minimum weight required to activate it.

So far, I have seen only a few units of these roaming the streets of metro. Mostly J and E variant in red mica.

No sighting of any black G variant.

For the driver seat yes. But for the passenger seat no.

I waited for my 2012 G variant D-4D A/T for a month. The SA called up last April 10 that is ready for release. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for me, I backed out of the deal. Not to sound repetitious, but the smoke smell entering through the rear aircon was the top reason I backed out.

Right now, I see a lot of bronze colors, Silver (E or J variants), Red (E or J variants). There are only four colors available for the G and V variants: Black, Silver, Bronze, and White pearl (+15K). Black is a rare color and up to now I have yet to see one on the road. The silver color looks so plain that casual onlookers might mistake your unit for the lower variants. White pearl, just like black is rare bec. of the additional 15,000 cost as well as maintenance issues. So most buyers will pick the bronze color. Just the other day, within a 500 meter stretch there were at least two 2012 bronze.

I got a feeling that by 2013, Toyota will phase out this bronze color and introduce at least two colors: Beige (same a E variant) and or a medium silver.

Also noticed quite a few loyal Innova owners who have trade up to the 2012 model from their 2005-2009 models.
