    Hmmm... In my experience, a true speed limiter allows the engine to hit the max speed, but then almost instantaneously cut the fuel so that you automatically slow down. For instance my Mom's 3.0 V6 tribute (max 180kph) and my old Exped 4.6L Triton V8 (max 160kph). When you reach 180 and 160, respectively, fuel gets cut such that you go down to about 175 and 155. in your friend's case, baka kulang lang sa bwelo.

    Newspaper Advertising indicates that a 4.0 li V6 Dual VVT-i variant is now available. No word on the price but JPEPA helps alot.

    Same features as the 3.0 D-4D? Still no KDSS?

    i did not see it in todays inquirer. which paper carried the ad?

    what spec is tmpi offering for the 4.0 liter gasoline? malamang different engine only. if tmpi releases a fully loaded 4.0 liter gas version, my fearless forecast is its going to be a runaway hit even if its a 4 liter gasoline engine

    Phil Star.

    It would certainly be a hit if the official price is really lower as eggman stated.

    Btw, eggman's stated price is about on par with what they are selling gray market Prado 4x4 with 2.7 li VVT-i engine. But TMPI's is a 4.0 V6 so it makes one wonder.

    I am guessing the only diff between the tmpi diesel and tmpi 4.0 gasoline will be the engine. all else should remain the same. tmpi will not undercut its own models at both price and specs level.

    to begin with, it was outrageous for tmpi to increase prado's price from 2.5m (introductory offer in the mid 2000's) to 3.6m today. the exchange rate would not have justified it, only their profit margins would have. but then again i recall tmpi saying they were surprised by the strong demand of the new prado at launch last year. a year later, i see only a handful of prados on the road, a lot of lc200 though. if they can cut prado's price by almost 900k, why is it the lc 200's price was reduced by 500k only when its value is supposedly higher?

    i think given some time to unload their existing inventory, the grey market dealers should be able to match tmpi's pricing for the 4.0 liter prado. expect grey market dealers to offer a cheaper 2.7 liter gasoline engine prado next year.

    i remember the previous gen prado sold for 2.3-2.4m for the 2.7 liter gasoline and 3.1m for the top if the line 4.0 liter gasoline engine. this was when tmpi price was 2.55m for the 3.0 liter diesel engine.

    Malamang dalhin ng mga grey market car dealers yang 2.7 Liter VVTI variant ng Prado at malamang mas mababa pa ang price nyan.

    Dapat dalhin narin dito yang 4 Liter V6 at 5.7 Liter V8 variants ng LC200.
