Bizarre that the 80 series LX450 is worth less than the Land Cruiser despite the fact that they’re virtually identical. It’s a strange reverse badge snobbery.

You’re the first person I am aware of who drives facing the seat back.

If they sold a version with a conventional hydraulic suspension, it would be the used car bargain of the century.

If you want the best packaged AWD system, it’s the car for you.

Ahhh. People who buy the most expensive version of something because it’s the most expensive version of something. I’m not in that income bracket yet. Maybe some day.

You should feel massive shame.

But the new one is too big. It doesn’t have the character of the first gen. It doesn’t come with manual.

What’s an LX570?

It drives me nuts that the worse version sells better.

Also, considering how that it is priced slightly above a Rubicon for a far superior vehicle, it’s a bargain.

The actual 200 series in beat it up trim is reasonably affordable. They’d go for about $60k.

3UR is an America only LC engine. Unfortunately, that doesn’t answer my question of how the logistics work.

Those go for about $60k. I would ABSOLUTELY buy one.

Yea Alabama. Too lazy to look it up.

Does anyone know where the 3UR for the LC is manufactured? My understanding is that West Virginia is the only 3UR plant. Does that mean they manufacture the engine there and then ship them to Japan?

Hey Toyota. How about you let us Americans buy one with a 1VD and unpainted bumpers instead of throwing us this ridiculous bone.

By a single driver.

The late 60s~early 70s was when Toyota really upped their copy and downsize game...

Shrinking down designs is hard work.

No Nintendo.
