The marketing is definitely selling this as the new "Land Cruiser" not as a Prado. The home page shows two LC200's going away and they've been positioning it next to the LC40 and LC60. It's pretty confusing with how similar it is to the LC300 and how they are basically marketing both of them as the same thing. In fairness - they appear to actually be the same thing, so it sort of makes sense. But it's just weird to have two vehicles be the new Land Cruiser without some explanation. I'm probably more confused than ever about this decision.
And - IMO it looks a heck of a lot more like a 4Runner than it does like any of the heritage land cruisers. And the 5th gen 4Runner looks more like an FJ60 than this does.
Also - I like it generally. Looks good. Likely has great specs for a midsize BOF wagon. Toyota build quality. If pricing is reasonable it's a winner as a product. But so is the LC300. I guess just pick your favorite style?
