Check the German Toyota website. They don't even have the 200 series LC listed.
They get the Prado which they sell as the the Land Cruiser ( as do most European countries ). So it makes sense as to why the mix up happened. The source from Europe said NEW LAND CRUISER and all the websites from...
BSCB Exclusive: Discover the Top 1400 best-selling cars in the world
You need to subscribe, it used to be free but it isn't anymore.
Anyway, the figures in the link are world wide figures not only US sales.
Land Cruiser sells like crazy in the Middle East, UN buys an insane amount too...
In 2015 Toyota sold 120k+ LC200's and 27k+ LX 570's.
Updated models came out later in the year so i have no doubts that the full year sales for 2016 will show higher figures.
Australian prices...
In the Middle East they cost around half that price.
No v8 turbo on the 70s currently sold in the ME though.
We get the 1HZ and the V6 1GR-FE ( most people prefer the older 1FZ-FE for desert driving)
FYI
Sales might have decreased greatly in the US but they just keep increasing in the key markets of the LC200.
Full year 2014 sales figures for the LC + LX .
Land Cruiser 200 ( 121,500 )
Lexus LX 570 ( 28,600 )
Combined ( 150,100 )
No doubt sales have increased after the 2016 update.
No 2012 only in the US. Other markets got a 2012, produced on the same dates as the US versions .
For example in the Middle East the 2012 LC ran from 1.2012 to 8.2012 then the switch to 13 happened before mid 8.12. For the US they didn't bother as it went on sale later than usual which is why...
The Patrol badged version is better. This US version lacks the off road tech from the Patrol or the hydraulic body motion control which really makes a difference when driving.
