Its the feel good story of 2020
There's a Disney movie in there somewhere (or is it Hallmark channel).
According to one dealership guy and MUD...I will hold my breath
Toyota Land Cruiser Discontinued in America After 2021: Report
Its Lexus variant will supposedly live on, but it's just not the same.www.thedrive.com
more rumors or fact this time?
I do think it is on the way out. my hunch (hope) is that they will keep the LX for those that want to drop mad wongo on an oversized luxury SUV and re-introduce the LC in a few years in a more rugged, affordable format that would compete with new bronco, jeep, etc...
i just cant see how toyota can justify continuing production/import of the 200 when they are moving only 2-3 thousand units/year.
Glad that Hallmark movie ended well. At 49 Tire that is what we call dancing with the devil or how to eff up in new and exciting ways....
Cowboy would now have to be a lesbian, for either chanel.
That's just for the US market. It's a global platform. They sell 2-3K per month in Oz and in the GCC.
i hear ya. i do have a sincere, non-argumentative question: is it the same vehicle overseas? meaning: are they selling that many similarly equipped/priced 200s or are they selling a bunch of stripped down 200s and 70 series diesels and stuff?
Maybe they are okay leaving the US out of the LC market, as we certainly make it tough/expensive (particularly with EPA/safety stuff) and there are plenty of vehicles you can get elsewhere that cant get here.
There are many different iterations of the 200 series abroad...
GRJ200: 4.0 gasser (same engine as a Tacoma/4Runner/FJC from a few years back), 5 speed manual from an 80 series, 80 series transfer case. Stripper model.
VDJ200: 4.5 Twin Turbo Diesel, platform-specific 5 speed manual or 6 speed auto, platform specific transfer case. These come in stripper model too.
UZJ200: 4.7 gasser. Manual and automatic.
URJ200: 5.7 gasser, manual and automatic.
URJ201: 4.6 gasser, manual and automatic
URJ201: 5.7 gasser, manual and automatic.
The list of possible combos of the 200 series globally is in the hundreds.
Well, they did pull the LC out of the UK market recently, from what I recall.
And it's been out of the Canadian market for over 20 years. LX version only.
Yeah this one with 4.0 sells for $43,000 USD in the UAE
Still doesn't make sense to me to leave their legacy vehicle out of one of the largest auto markets in the world. Let's see, we sold a BUNCH of UZJ100s, then we switched to the URJ200, and now we're not selling many at all. Hmmmmmmm.
Seems to me, the idea I've heard about them offering the allegedly-upcoming 300 series Land Cruiser as a more basic model, while still offering the LX available for the more luxury-inclined, would be a profitable model. But what do I know? I'm still one of the people who sees the Jeep killing it and the new Bronco "sold out," yet wonders why Toyota doesn't try to knock both of them out with a "true" successor to the FJ40.........

that is what i was trying to say but you articulated it better.
and yeah:
2021 Ford Bronco Looks Best Fully Kitted for Overlanding
The Bronco Overland concept, a four-door Badlands model fitted with 17-inch Fifteen52 wheels and a rooftop tent, previews what Broncos will look like once owners customize them.
How good is this motor?
It's been around a long time. Since 2007. Seems to be a well-received engine. Though very conservative for its displacement. Classic Toyota.

I can't wait until CBI (probably a year) will sell us those bumpers. I will look great on a Nori Green LX.
