There are several elements of the Land Cruiser that I think feel a bit out of place for a $60k vehicle. Considering the new GX starts at $64k, I can’t help but wonder if that would be the better purchase. It would be interesting to see a head to head comparison of this new Land Cruiser and the GX. 

“a track-only hyper sports car that invites drivers to explore their limits” as they slam into a fucking wall at 220 mph after blowing the braking zone 

As a very recent 456 buyer (yay for me) I can now confirm firsthand that OP should use every cent of his $100k budget by buying a $65k 456. The joke among 456 owners is it’s the Ferrari so expensive to maintain even Ferrari owners don’t want it.

I have to disagree. Not with the dislike, but how you got there. There is no functional reason why the sheetmetalk should have EVERY crease and fold imaginable. They styled it to look like a 12 year old just drove it through a slot canyon. That’s not really my idea of offroad styling. The LC is great. This looks like…

Too bad you can’t roll down that iPad on the dash.

definitely going to be some interesting cross shopping between the land cruiser and a new 4runner. Hard to beat that roll down rear window....

I’m really torn. I’m getting old, so massage seats on a top trim GX is almost as tempting as the roll down rear window on the 4runner.

I disagree, I think Nissan can easily compete for buyers that don’t want the latest and greatest.  With everyone going turbo/hybrid a big NA V6 and affordable pricing is all people would need to consider in cross shopping with its competition.  

Say what you will about the aesthetics of the cladding, but it was nice to not have to worry about your front bumper as you pushed through brush!

Shoot, a Model T could have tackled this 100 years ago.

even if it’s fully cash, do we really need to pay 90k for a working towing truck ??

Try $1800 for 10. 

And is the warranty still only 3 years... ?

It’s crazy but people will line up to get them.
People will find crazy ways to justify buying vehicles this expensive.

I don’t think people who own $100k vehicles typically finance them. 

The name sounds like a knockoff F series Platinum trim. Which this is. You make this truck sound great and unusual to the market, but I don’t see anything that makes this special over a Platinum F-150 or a Denali.

Listen, just round it up to 10 years and call it a day. Who wants to remember 9? Too hard, a nice, even, 10 years at a $1500/mo payment makes it that much easier. $180,000k over 10 years for this kind of luxury, easy choice really. /s

My wedding ring(s) are Tungsten-Carbide with a diamond chip. It was $80 at Overstock, or you could overpay at roughly $500 in a handful of jewelry stores I saw the exact same ring in.

In 100 years time, all this BS about “consumer preference”—as if it’s not a thing practically designed by profit-blinded corporations’ marketing departments—is going to be seen for the frank selfishness that it is. Sunken cities and burning forests all around the world aren’t going look kindly on Americans’ attitudes.…

That is a good list. I hope you find what you want and enjoy the hell out of it. I love doing the desert thing in my jeep but there is no luxury.

That rule doesn’t apply to homes. Simple compromise - ditch your mortgage and live in your financed car. :)
