Sequoia out to pasture

Earlier this week, we heard word that Toyota would be sending its
sluggishly-selling Sequoia out to pasture after this current product
cycle came to a close. Those whispers were evidently enough to ruffle
a few feathers at the Japanese automaker, as the company has come out
with a cleverly-worded denial:
Toyota denies any reports of the discontinuation of the Sequoia. For
obvious competitive reasons, Toyota does not discuss future product
plans. Sequoia continues to be a profitable, high-quality vehicle for
Toyota and several years remain in the life of the current generation.
Our focus remains on building our vehicles, including the Sequoia,
with the highest possible quality.
Call us crazy, but the statement above doesn't do much to assure us
about the future of the high-riding family hauler beyond this
generation's expected lifecycle. Either way, we can certainly say that
the current Sequoia will continue to dominate mall parking lots for at
least a few more years. Past that, Toyota isn't saying what its plans
are for its biggest vehicle.
