I drive both the 120 and 150 at the moment and I must say that the 150 is my pick.

Seriously are you saying you love those new lights and grill Rob on the new revision????Originally posted by Hutch View Post
The 120 craps all over it for clean lines, but Toyota have gone to the decade of angular lines now.
Alas some will love them, some will hate them.[B]Robert

When it comes to new models you have to push the envelope a bit otherwise they would rarely change their style. Great for people who already own but not good for new sales or upgrades. The initial sting of change passes and then become accepted. The 150 still has its critics but parked next to a 120 now a few years after release and you can see how dated a 120 really is.

Where do I start?Originally posted by Ticka View Post
- less rear storage space
- 3rd row seats that are a PITA to remove
- 2nd row seats don't fold & tumble
- non functional centre console that looks like it was designed in Korea
- rear quarter windows don't open
- less fuel capacity
- no major increase in engine performance
About the only positive I can see is the new bonnet/grille design that allows the ARB bar to have antenna mounts on the top hoop.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]Comment

Seems to be more about the 120 than about a new 150. Lets get this one back on topic.2014 D4D 150 GXL Automatic - CHARCOALComment

Ok so for the people in the market forOriginally posted by D4D View Post
an 8 seater that they want to remove the extra seats for anyway
A bit of extra floor storage space
Rear opening windows for the dog to slobber out of.
And do marathon trips that requires 180ltrs not 150ltrs
Then sure the new 150 may not be ideal.Comment

I've seen the pics, and yes the 120 may look more old and serious - even then, I still didn't think it was possible, but they've done it, they've made the 150 even uglier !!
Sorry to all the 150 lovers, but it's been out 4 years now, and the first time I thought it looked 'ok' was when I compared the pic's of the current 150 to the pics of the facelift job. Too much Botox and the rear end looks very Kluger-ish :-/
Just my 120 owning 2c's worth :-)Last edited by GTX; 01-09-2013, 08:15 AM.2005 Diesel Funbus DriverComment

Bit of a trade off???Comment

Interesting Psychology how people get used to looks - what is today's ever more "edgy" look will be ho-hum in a small number of years. I thought the 120 was aggressive with big "teeth" when it first came out and the 150 worse. Now I am the proud owner of a 150 and think it looks a whole lot better the the latest Jeep GC.Originally posted by Talktheroo View PostComment
