Other things remaining the same: ridiculously reliable, outsells its competitors handily, (although that might be changing with the Colorado/Canyon success) retains its value well.

My aunt had one of these. As a kid I loved the pillows in the back seat to sleep away the miles or play my gameboy from the massive floor board. Of course hindsight is 20/20.
Remember everyone, keep right except to pass.
Maybe once they add some HP or a turbo (hello, XVXT) it’ll be worth considering. Powaaaahhh.
Nah, that was tongue-in-cheek. But most of us ‘Muricans can't drive stick.
My experience has been through friends and rental-car lots. In this country there is a law that in rental car lots a manual transmission shall not exist.
I hear you. Driven a couple of XVs and have always been shocked how they sell so many. Build quality isn’t great, the engine is underpowered, and they’re saddled with a CVT. The trifecta of nope for me. However as many of them as I see, I suspect many people are keeping up with the Jones’ and not really even bothering…
Long ago when I was learning to ride, my dad actually taught me that you on the 400# motorcycle are no match for someone in their 4000# car. Physics wins every time. Ride defensively and expect to not be seen.
Remember everyone, keep right except to pass.
Killer!!!
That’s only Lexus. Toyota uses the grill style <random>.
I HOPE you are right! Have you seen any official news about the cummins in the Tundra??? (Getting excited.)
All jokes aside, the RX350 or some variant thereof will likely be my wife’s next vehicle when it’s time to replace her TDI Touareg. Touareg is doing well so I’m hoping that’s a way off. There’s no reason for us to have the LC and a GX but I really like the GX. I’d love to put her in a LS460 but she thinks she needs an…
Yeah, it’s not gorgeous by any stretch but there’s something about it that makes me love it.
Yeah, finding a used one is pretty tough. I could have easily bought a dozen LX-570s compared to my one Land Cruiser. People hang onto Land Cruisers but ship their LX once it falls off lease (or at least it appears that way.)
It’ll be interesting to see what Toyota does in the US in the next few years. Every time I…
Well, if you’re adding them onto the already-there supercharger, then sure!
Very true. However many of the old ones were very luxurious for their day. Even the 80-series of the early 90s had amenities like automatic AC. The 100-series I think is where they really started moving upscale while retaining their capability (at least here in the US.) Internationally you could purchase a much less…
Yeah, it’s luxurious but I promise you that mine can back up the luxury with capability. Whether in KS on the grandparents’ farm, or here in the Colorado mountains, it can put up some impressive maneuvers offroad. Then I can drive home in heated or cooled (depending on the day) leather seats. Having owned a Tahoe, the…
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Completely different drivetrain, completely different dimensions overall, completely different frame. Many of the historic LC owners bitched loudly about the growth of the vehicle.
I love my 2013 LC as I often wax poetic about it on Jalopnik. However I think it’s a little too early for the refresh cycle for US-based models but you can bet I’ll be looking at the new one when it shows up.
