200 Series Sales Numbers for the USA

My 1999 100 was $52,000 I think.
The 100 was also more revolutionary (100vs80) than the 200 was. The 200 was rather evolutionary even though it was so much better in every way except for looks. (My opinion)
$75,000 is hard to justify for non Land Cruiser diehards. The average person looks at the price of a sequoia and thinks bigger is better.
Are our truck still subjected to the chicken tax? Is so I wonder how much.

Toyota already builds a variety of interesting vehicles (which may or may not fair well in the USA). MB sells more GL diesels than Toyota 200 series (USA) - choice would be nice.

Here is the 100-200 figures. Your MBA's really don't care about the 200 series, or really suck at their job, the numbers are dismal:
