My visits to Paris, London, Rome, Frankfurt and Hamburg on business showed me there were as many Land Rovers on the streets as status symbols as there are on the US streets, without a spec of dirt on them. Again, the Europeans may love the cool look, higher stance, etc., but you know how narrow many of the European streets are, the only thing they excel at in the cities is bumper cars in the roundabouts.
I know we’re having fun here but personally I prefer European road design and infrastructure to what we have in the U.S.

Things like roundabouts and the way they have their exits off of highways just have this nice, constant flow to them. Plus being a cyclist and someone who will walk if a destination is within a mile or two I am biased and jealous at all of the bike and walking paths they have.

Try biking the Arc de Triomphe Roundabout, make sure your life insurance is paid up first.

Can’t be any worse than riding in Texas where you have to worry about a lifted truck squashing you. 😅
The Arc de Triomphe roundabout is a piece of cake, any car to your right has the right of way.

Which means it's coming to the Middle East as well (Prado) and will be sold along side the lc300.


I think though our Prado will probably be less retro in terms of side mirrors etc...or maybe they will have different trim levels.

I dont know if this is true or not, maybe someone can correct me. Isnt the prado much less overbuilt than the bigger land cruisers (100,200,300). I hear the drive components like the cv axles, tie rod ends, etc are much less robust and is more comparable to the 4runner. with this new shared platform will components be the same as the lx600 (300 series)?
 
Looks like the Plano grapevine source link was pretty close.

If the price is less than the GX or similar, Toyota would sell a metric f*ckton of those I bet.
