For the price of the 200 i wonder why they don't try to have some of the frame or body aluminum to save on weight?

My guess is they're waiting until the next gen so they can wow the world with all the weight savings and unbelievable fuel economy...
We had a 2011 GL. Looked at the new ones. Almost identical...
The 2016 LC is on the USA toyota.com website.
And the rear monitors look totally ridiculous!

The Tundra rotors are about .5" larger in diameter, but the same thickness as the Land Cruiser.... so they can produce more brake torque. The larger diameter holds 1.5lbs more gray iron per rotor, which is the larger reservoir. There is also more surface area to help rid the rotor of that energy.
The 2016 now has the larger Tundra brakes... except for the units sold in Mexico, they still have the 13.4" brakes.

was watching this and found what he said around 6:40 intriguing.
One Badass Tacoma - Autoline After Hours 304
"Land Cruiser doesn't have a standard, that is the standard"....
I suppose it's referred to as the flagship for a reason.

Any idea if the '16 LC brake components will retrofit on <'15 LC's? (i.e. did Toyota copy the Jowett bracket to fit the Tundra brakes or maybe you worked out a nice deal with them and are now an OE manufacturer)

The 2016 items will likely retrofit. There is no bracket, the caliper has extended mounting lugs to clear the larger rotor.
Southeast Toyota saying available on some of these starting 10/6. Much sooner than expected. Get them while they're hot - I'm going to wait until I can get a used one in 20 yrs for about $12k.

hey cool try to pop in a see if you can get pics of interior etc give us a critique of the updates from a personal opinion.
Do you think these still allow the TRD 17" wheel to fit? I think that's one of the good features in the LC/LX which helps for broader tire choices without having to go nuts with lifts just to fit a decent MT or cheaper sizes. For example, the BFG MT KM2 in 18" 305/60 is $160 more PER TIRE, than a 255/80x17 but the latter is 1/2" taller and much narrower working better with the UCA and other clearance issues during articulation.

Yes, the TRD wheel should still fit just fine.
so I was hanging out with friends yesterday watching our wonderful Eagles play like crap and we had a big discussion with one of my friends that works for a Honda Dealership; Well the 2016 Honda with the brake assist thing has sensors imbedded in the Brake pad!!! apparently this is how there system works. Oh boy I don't like that seems odd that each pad on each wheel will have some sort of computer etc thing going on??? I'm thinking those pads are gonna be pricey and then having issues trying to find which sensor is bad etc just a whole can of worms in my point of view. Anyone know how Toyota's will work?? I hope its a main component up either in the engine bay of actually even in the cabin???
Hahaha my wife made me laugh tonight. She said the new LX is a total chick car!
Oye...sad state for Lexus.

Good news, the chicken tax will be phased out. meaning Toyota (and other Japanese brands) can actually afford to sell cheap imported SUVs and Trucks...which may lead to the "stripped down" 200/300 that many people want.
Stripped down 200/300 isn't happening in the US. With such small volumes, they have zero desire to offer anything but a fully loaded package to serve the US market.
Stripped down lol we can't even get a tan interior LOL! Who ever is running USA market either goes t give a s&#t about the LC/LX or is trying to steer the USA market toward the tundra sequoia! This is just bad marketing or simply they just don't want to sell it here!
Cruise outfit did they say anything to give you any idea why they are doing this??? Maybe they don't want to loosexLexus sales? They are almost 3 to 1 in sales but with this last face lift that sales figure may not stay for long
