As someone that has never owned a 4Runner - but has fallen in love with the looks for the 5th gen...

I am realistic in understanding I will likely never do any aggressive off-road driving. To date there has never been a time when I needed more than my Subie or Honda Pilot could provide.

So in a perfect world I'd have the look of the 4Runner in a lighter weight package with a turbo 4 cylinder that gets low 20's city and high 20's highway. Look at the Subaru Ascent, curb weight close to the 4Runner, 4 turbo makes numbers very close to the 4Runner -but better gas mileage.

I want something aggressive, blocky, chunky, but with decent gas mileage and higher level safety features. I realize that will never happen for any manufacturer, but a person can dream.
