Why do they even bother? Those pics don't reveal hardly anything. The cars are COVERED in camo and they pics are blurred or small or badly composed, etc.

its better to know the general shape and how the car will look, then waiting for several months before getting a glimpse

the guy blocking the pictures made that post.

Camo doesn't show much, never really got the idea behind taking pics....

...but if it was the new MKV Supra in camo, that'd be to die for

You sure do spend alot of time on the internet finding stuff like this. hehe. Still covered up and pointless. It's not like they saw a Ferarri Enzo fighting Lamborghini covered up or even the new Supra or Lexus LF-A concept that is actually worth mentioning.

Haha funny story indeed. LOL @ the "guardian" guy. They really go out to protect that secret identity of the truck eh.

That is one massive-looking Tundra. Looking forward to it.

What really cracked me up is that he kept calling one of the guys "JDM" .... Japanese Domestic Market guy ... hahahaha

Was it really that hard to call him Japanese or simply Asian?

I think some people are getting a little too carried away with the whole "JDM" trend

i like future cars, and i only go to 2 sites...here and CSS, and CSS is where you find all of these spy shots

i think it is better to see the shape of the body than nothing at all...i don't think it is pointless, and many people would disagree with you

at least we got a picture of the rear of the tundra even though you can't see much

Well I still think it's pointless since you can't see what the car looks like when you're eventually going to see it uncovered shortly. That's just me.
