It should be interesting to see whether this or the Lambdas are better. The current Highlander is a competent vehicle but is very, very dated.

I hate the current one and I will the next (prolly). If it is as ugly as the new Rav-4 then I will for sure. What is the point anymore the Rav-4 is bigger and has a V6 which were Highlander selling points... I do plan on going and will not waste my time on this $h!y thing. I plan to spend most of my time at GM then DCX and Ford...

they probably will make a XENA edition of the highlander for the letsbefriends crowd.

Wouldn't you like to drive a Warrior Princess, reg? :AH-HA_wink:

I'm wondering about this one too. Essentially, the 3 row Rav4 has taken the place of the 3 row Highlander (both are equally squashed inside), so the Highlander definitely should be getting bigger.

The 3.5 V6 is a given, along with a Hybrid model again, but the size and style are the two biggest questions, especially since no one seems to have seen any mules out anywhere.
