There is a persistent meme in this article and others that models were introduced in response to some model from another company. That may be possible, but the lead time for a set of wheels and some pinstripes is 12 months, any real change is 2 years, and a fundamental change is more like 4 years. So this game of pingpong beloved of wiki editors really doesn't exist. Simple question, if pingpong worked, why did it take Toyota so long to bring the 4wd Kluger out?
