    Total fail on interiors - Tired, Dated looking blocky design with no pizzaz or ne age design. The Japanese underestimate ho important interiors are to buyers and owners. The Honda Elevate failed for exactly this reason. The 4 runner wont fail because its ina less demanding using segment which focuses on performance specs. But how hard is it to also get the interors right. The Eurpoeans have been nailing it for decades and even the Koreans have got it right. Dont scringe and cust costs on interiors .
