Excellent story, Raph! When I was working in Afghanistan, I cycled thru Dubai every time I went on vacation, and I got to know parts of the region. For the obvious reasons, most of my time was spent in Dubai itself, but I also made it into Sharjah and Abu Dhabi (had to hit Ferrari World and Yas Marina!). Sharjah…

That fairly long rear deck, flares, snowflakes (BBS RAs?), abrupt rear roofline, and the black Euro trunk lip spoiler just makes me think of a cross between an E24 M6 and a Hakosuka GTR. This just looks fucking badass and I really want it!

Always loved the Land Cruisers, and I would have to be feeling particularly snobby (or the Rangie would have to be THAT much better) for me to pick the Range Rover over this. Make no mistake, I dig the Range Rover (and even moreso the Sport), but for an everyday reliable machine (it’s still a feather plucking…

Agreed. ARB will have something suitable for it soon. Akshully, since it is more or less an admittedly healthy refresh of the current 200-series, ARB may have something already available.

At 6’ 3” and 270, I concur in this assessment. Actually, I think the problem is when designing airplane interiors, whomever created the original seating schematic accidentally input the carry-on luggage dimensions into the seating specifications. And as you have doubtless noticed, carry-on dimensions themselves seem…

Yes.

I saw leaked photos of the LX refresh about 1 day before I saw similar leaks of the ‘Cruiser. I hate the spindle grille on every single vehicle they make, but the larger SUVs in particular. The current LX is awful, as is the GX. The LX refresh is just an ugly, pointy wall of blech. Dat Cruiser, tho, that is absolutely…

While I approve of those who suggested the Panther (especially the Marauder variant), I would offer up this alternative. Roomy, loaded, comfortable, and reliable as the day is long. This 2004 Lexus LS 430. Clear title and under 63k miles. This is a road trip car.

As a previous owner of a ‘78 Cherokee S with the 360, 727 and Quadra Trac, I will be eagerly watching this resto. Love me some SJ goodness!

Sweet looking build! Nice dog, too!

By all accounts, it was a competent car...maybe not at the dynamic level of its E39 (or even E38/E65) contemporaries, but competent. Above and beyond the reliability question, there were two strikes against it. First, it was bordering on bland (but in a Euro way) and Lincoln didn’t know how to market that. Second, and…

Sweet baby Jebus this is the fugliest one yet! Are they trying to keep people from buying it? I mean, that interior is sweeeeet! Almost sweet enough to make me overlook the feather plucking Predator Spindle grille monstrosity up front...ALMOST.

Dude. You friggin rock! Enjoy it!

Living and working in an oil town (Fort McMurray, Alberta, home of the oil sands), the amount of company fleet trucks up here is amazing. Fun fact, the (full-line) GM dealership up here is the only GM dealership in Canada (and possibly North America) where the dealer owner actually owns every single vehicle in the…

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, which is why I found this video so bloody refreshing.

Like others (and you), I did not expect that. Glad that people finally came out and mobbed it at the end.

Alright alright alriiiiight!

CGIS Agent Abigail Borin approves.

I want Lexus to fucking regret that god-awful spindle grille abomination! And to do away with it!
