What I really want to know about the new Highlander is the gas mileage. My 04 is only making 21.5 on the highway

Here is the link to Toyota's website with some information and pictures of the new Highlander concept! I know that some of you have been waiting for more information on this. Here it is:

no offense, but I highly doubt that is the highlander concept, it doesn't look anything like it. Not to mention why would they call it the ftsx and not the 2008 highlander or something close to it? that thing looks more like a sedan wagon than a SUV.

Actually, when you click on New Cars, then Toyota, you'll see that the future Highlander looks like that too on the edmunds site. The name FTSX can be for another country, or other purposes not relating to the U.S. Highlander.

ya i noticed that too, the wierd thing is that the edmunds one says its due out in fall 2006, you would think we would of heard something by now
 
but still, i dont think it has to look somewhat different from the picture, that thing does not look like an SUV at all

That's actually the new look and style now.
NISSAN MURANO
NEW ACURA MDX
 
The lower body and clearance improvesn gas mileage. Better gas mileage = more profit $$.
 
That WILL be the new Highlander.

If that is the new Highlander then the Highlander will be a Lowlander
 
The MD-X (dash was intentional since the MD-X concept was what was shown so far) at least seems to have an SUV's higher ride height. In my opinion this FT-SX is too low.
 
Anyway, I wonder if the FT-SX Toyota concept in question is based off the same platform as the Lexus LF-X concept:
http://www.lexus.com/about/concept/lf-x_gallery_exterior_photos.html
(which I believe is the same as the Lexus HPX concept on some sites:
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198663 )
 
I wish (and hope) to see Toyota/Lexus/Acura match the style of vehcle that GM is coming out with in the 2007 Saturn Outlook/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave. I am not a GM fan but I believe a full-size unibody SUV with plenty of room and 3 rows with improved gas milage will be a win.

New Highlander this year or next? by davesuv

Things have been awfully quiet from Toyota for a new model HL launch this fall. They are either very good at keeping secrets, or the new model won't come out until sometime next year. With the new RAV4, they are obviously poised to redo the HL. They are also facing some stiff competition from the new 2007 Santa Fe, just now starting to show up in dealerships. My money is on a carryover for this fall with an early rollout of the New 2008 HL in the spring or summer next year. All this prognosticating won't make a bit of difference, but the anticipation sure is fun though

I respect the fact that everyone has an opinion. I'm just not sure what this one is trying to accomplish.
