RX 300 and Harrier
-
Anybody knows how to identify a rebadged Toyota Harrier externally?
So far I know by seeing a Toyota logo on the steering wheel which people wun change because of the cost of airbag.
And by the sound of V6 engine (Lexus) from the L4 engine in ithe Harrier which would be near impossible to change.
Anybody else know how to tell them apart externally? Like if there is dual exhaust? different lights? additional mirror? -
fyi, there is also a V6 3litre harrier....i think that harrier has got a extra left side mirror near the front bonnet there..Originally posted by Ponders:Anybody knows how to identify a rebadged Toyota Harrier externally?

Yeah. i just realised there is a 3l V6 too. haha.
The harrier logo. Ppl in sgp would have rebadged it i think. eheh.
I suspected the mirror since that is JIS thing but I haven't seen a "genuine" Singapore market RX 300 to confirm.
Is the number of spokes on the rims also a factor also?
Your RX pics seem to have lots of spokes. while the harriers i have seen so far have the spokes of the above pic. -
spokes refering to the wheels right ? can easily change 1.easier than rebadgingOriginally posted by Ponders:Yeah. i just realised there is a 3l V6 too. haha.

The rims (wheels), can change. But it would cost about $3000 i think? Like the steering wheel, it is also $3000 to change.Originally posted by bismarck:spokes refering to the wheels right ? can easily change 1.easier than rebadging
I think the middle badge of the rims is removable so ppl can just buy the badge.
As for Honda and Acura. That's very different story. Most Acuras look different from Honda.
Acura EL is Civic based, but it looks different. IT is made in Canadad while Civic is made in Japan.
Acura Integra (till 2001) in North American has a totally different design from Asia's Honda Integra. 2001 and after, Asia retained the Integra name, North American changed to RSX. But engine and all are different.
What i mean is, it is very easy to tell apart Acura from Honda because honda make their design different.
As for RX300 and Harrier, they are basically the same other than that extra mirror which i still have to confirm.
