300 series first impressions

[105X]

Do the window stickers show fuel economy ratings? I looked through a few videos and couldn't really tell and I haven't seen any fuel economy numbers posted online yet. More power is great but curious to see what the efficiency is like with 400lbs weight reduction and the move to twin turbo V6. Congrats on the new ride!

Yeah, the window stickers also show the make, model, year, and some other details.
The top trims with the body kit and the 3.5 are rated at 9.3KM/L (~22mpg).
The ones with the 3.5 and no body kit get 10.1KM/L (~24mpg!) I believe.
Here’s an example of the window sticker:

Awesome! If that is 22MPG combined cycle and not highway that represents a 47% increase over the 5.7L V8 (Going by the 13MPG City, 17MPG Highway, 15MPG Combined cycle off my LX570 window sticker)

no wonder the prices on the 200's continue to increase

Is the coolbox smaller? The opening looks much smaller but could be the angle.

This is one of the best breakdowns I've thus far seen on the 300.

15% smaller fuel tank, that’s a real shame.

Weight savings

Weight savings

Smaller range. As the video above suggests, you will need an auxiliary tank for longer outlander trips.

Confused on the "70th" - as the 1997 80's had a 40th edition that I had one of ( and regret selling)... Not real good with Math, but wouldn't it be a 65th ?

thanks for sharing and the info..... it'll be interesting to see if we only get a LX version stateside...

The LC started production in 1951, so it mostly makes sense. There was a 50th anniversary LC in 2001, and a 60th anniversary in 2011.
However, the 300 is technically a 2022MY, so it should be a 71st anniversary.

Why is it there are no interior specs (ie dimension numbers) posted?

I never understood he 40th anniversary in 1997. Also in US, they skipped the 2012 MY. Confusing is confusing.

Lets appreciate the fact that crawl control is so quiet now

The 40th anniversary FJ80 was US-spec only. It celebrated the 40th anniversary of the LC being sold in the US. First LC sold in the US was in 1957 I believe.
