Especially the complex fuel systems!←I would not be concerned about a toyota with compressed fuel injection. My 3.0L TD was a pain in the ar$e.... however if it wasn't then I would not have gone out and bought a brand new 6sp turbo xr6 My mates 3.0L GU was also a pain in the ar$.... however if it wasn't he woulf not have put a 6.5L diesel V8 in it A 3.0L diesel is just way to small for a 2.5 tonne vehical.

Toyota is alway last to the market with almost every new technology. Prado CRD turned up last year 6yrs after it came out in the Patrol and Navara. They now sell the same car as a 4cyl Camry that uses more fuel and has less grunt than the 6 cyl Avalon, sorry Aurion.Didn't even get their super dooper Hybrid cars to the market first, Honda beat em by about a year.They are all about marketing. Hoiw many toyota adds do you see each day?If you want a car with tried and proven technology, that everybody else had in the previous decade then buy a Toyota.
