I think in the last 96 pages we've discussed this several times, but what the heck...
I don't think the 4 door wagon with modern tech is a failing approach out of the gate. What I do agree with you about now that it will be a failure (at least long term) if it's turns out to be another $85k luxury wagon, regardless of off road prowess. My wife stopped at a local dealer then other day out of curiosity when she saw a 200 on the lot. They wanted $89k. That's insane... Vehicle prices across the board are nuts right now though.
Hopefully the LC250 will roll out with a cloth or softex seats a rear locker and crawl control. If Toyota gets the styling right and the price falls in between the 4R and Sequoia then I think they'll have a winner. (relatively speaking, as I still don't understand the overlap between similar models)
