its a 4x4, that you get in america - id guess it is the same underneath as the Lexus RX sereis - they seem to look quite simialr.

Anyway we're mostly europeans here - so maybe try some american car sites!

Just try google maybe

i saw some pics of the SUV ...
and personally i didnt see one before.. !

OK now I got it... "Toyota Harrier" is just a different name for the Lexus RX300!
Well it sure is a good SUV, perhaps one of the best you could get with that price.
However, I'd never buy it because I hate all SUVs.

well not really - its more than just a name. Its the same idea as the VW golf and the audi A3, more or less the same car - just different manufactors!

jimkk29 · Jun 24, 2003, 4:37 PM

OK, whatever...

Mopar68 · Jun 25, 2003, 11:19 PM

I've lived in America all my life, and I've never seen a Toyota Harrier.

There is no such thing in US, the Toyota SUVs are Higlander, LandCruiser, Crap 4 ermmm Rav 4, and 4 Runner, i guess it maybe based on the highlander, but im not sure, highlander is based on the Camry

mallon · Jun 26, 2003, 6:13 AM

well if it aint american, and not european where is it sold. So far only cyprus.

Maybe Australia?

Yeh, the Harrier (or RX330 as it is known here, harrier in japan) is sold here in its latest version. It used to be a grey import (ie imported from Japan personally), however is now available via dealers. In my opinion it is a piece of crap, as are all SUV's. Centre of Gravity is way too high, too heavy, too slow, too bad

SPECS

Engine
3MZ-FE
3311cc
V6/DOHC/4v
172kW(234HP)@5600
328Nm@6300

Drivetrain

Curb Weight

PIECE OF CRAP
