Toyota Sequoia
"The giant sequoia redwood is unique to North America, and that will also be true of Toyota's new full-size sport-ute when it goes on sale in the fall. Based on the full-size Tundra pickup chassis, it will be built at Toyota's new plant in Indiana and powered by the Tundra's 4.7 liter V-8. The Sequoia is a little bigger than a Chevrolet Tahoe, a little smaller than a Ford Expedition, and the first direct challenge to either from a foreign nameplate. An addition to the current lineup rather than a replacement for any other vehicles, look for it to slot into the Toyota roster between the 4Runner and the top-of-the-line Land Cruiser."
"Keeping in Touch" (Toyota's Newsletter) / Volume 01 / Issue 02:
"...Sequoia is a full-size SUV that delivers a great driving experience. Sequoia has impressive power from an advanced 4.7 liter i-Force V8 engine and full-size room for eight with available third row seat. Yet with all of that power and size going for it, the Sequoia is targeted to achieve ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV) certification from the EPA. With its many safety features, such as 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Sequoia is truly road-ready."
Anyway, despite being bigger (if I actually read that and wasn't hallucinating or something) the price of the Sequoia is supposed to be between the 4Runner and Land Cruiser. So in terms of size, small to big: 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Sequoia. Price, cheap to expensive: 4Runner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser.
