That argument only makes sense if you assume Toyota wants to sell Cruisers in the US, which they apparently don’t care to do. A diesel Cruiser would sell here at least as well as the V8.

I’m still at a loss for why this is worth $40,000 more than a loaded 4Runner TRD Pro and $34,000 more than a Tundra Platinum 4wd.

There’s only one performance pack on the 2018 Mustang GT. There is a slightly wider 265 tire available on a 20" wheel without the performance pack, but those are all seasons.

No, but I’m sure it has plenty of other quirks and features.

Who wouldn’t just pay a bit more for a base GT350 or Bullit?

I think someone spending $180,000 on a car will spend a few minutes figuring out how the seat adjuster works. There’s no way you can convince people that this

I’m pretty sure my back and butt would enjoy a nice (maybe heated or cooled) massage during a traffic jam, which the Mercedes can do and the Camry can’t.

Air ride is a gimmick that real off roaders don’t want anything to do with. A failure anywhere in that complicated suspension means the vehicle is dead in the water.

You could probably build something close to that yourself if you really wanted to. Custom bodywork/chop job, a small lift and upholstery on a JK isn’t going to be impossible to do.

For the price of this thing, you could get a new Jeep Wrangler, put on Dana 60s and ORE coilovers, and get a 6.4 V8 swap and have money left over for wheels, tires, a winch ect...

I think it’s time Jalopnik sent Jason on a World Tour of Weird so that he can get his freak on in all of the worlds janky ass shitboxes and tell us what they’re really like. Or at least, what they’re like through his rose colored glasses. I really want to know how this thing performs with a cow in the bed.

Autos are generally better off road, though.

The Wrangler is probably the only car you can’t say that about. It’s the de facto choice for people that go off road. Not every Wrangler owner goes off road, but if you go off road you either own a Jeep or know somebody that does.

‘Really Slow’ seems to fit most Chevy RS badged cars.

A quick throttle blip would end all doubt.

What about lazily keeping pace with the V6 Challenger while it’s at WOT?

Sometimes you need to lose a little sheet metal if you want ground clearance AND a Jeep that wont tip over in a light breeze. Sure, losing a classic body is sad but what about cutting up and replacing the entire suspension and modifying the frame? The White XJ you posted above appears to have smaller tires than the

“Mercedes tells us that there will be 64 colors to choose from for the ambient lighting. I can’t even name 64 colors, so that’s cool, too.”

What about this thing is fake luxury? Have you seen those 30 way seats?
