OK. Saw my first one up close at the dealer yesterday. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! It didn't help that it was a white SR5 with no frills. First thing I noticed was that it appears considerably taller than my 2006 Sport parked beside it. Antenna is fender mounted and not automatic, just a screw on mast. Dashboard looked cheap. Shift lever looked awkward and there were two of them, like on a Land Cruiser. Cup holders were poorly placed. I still say, it looks like they set out to copy a Pathfinder or an Armada. Perhaps they should have asked themselves, how many Pathfinders do you see on the road compared to 4-Runners. I left the mall last night and before getting out of the parking lot saw 3-4 other 4-Runners. Can't remember the last time I saw a Pathfinder. I'm already looking for a cherry 2009. I'm bummed!
